am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial
Funny I was just thinking about this song today.

If only the major networks had played this classic Zappa song
before Bush�s press conference last week to set the stage for what
was to follow. Doing so wouldn�t have made it any easier to swallow the
putrid slime oozing from my TV, but the press conference would have then
much more closely complied with federal Truth in Advertising
statutes.
I�ve read numerous reviews of Bush�s press conference, but the vast
majority seemed to have been written by pundits who apparently watched
some other Bush press conference. I don�t quite understand how
this could have happened because the press conference that I watched was
on almost every channel on my cable system. Maybe they were all watching
channel 236. Maybe it was sunspots. How about a brief time warp into a
different dimension? Sure, why not? That could explain it.
One of the better reviews of this press conference appeared in the
New York Press, titled "Cleaning the
Pool--The White House Press Corps politely grabs its
ankles."
