Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand

Messaging for the Future
Is it just me or is Democratic messaging up and down the ticket absolutely horrendous. It makes absolutely no sense that in a State where a DFLer was elected Governor, both the house and Senate were lost by wide Margins. Granted it was a strong year for conservatives, but if that were truly the case in Minnesota, wouldn't there have been a governor Emmer? According to Diane Loeffler, my local House Representative, 75,000 less voters came out to the comparable year of 2006.
The Democratic party needs to have much stronger leadership here locally in Minnesota and Nationally. I think one thing that can be learned from the Tea Party is their great message-cohesion.
The White House certain could use some help with messaging. It has been clear after this year that playing defense simply doesn't work. If anything, Republicans are incredibly effective at ad-nausea. They take a message, spin it how they want and then somehow it becomes fact in political rhetoric. You can pretty much take any major Congressional or State initiative over the last two years up until the Lame-Duck. If the lame-duck was any sign of life, it showed that the Democrats when pushing up against a wall, bite back. I wish this efficiency and fervor can translate into the new legislative year
