Hope Now Needs a Theme Song

A little patience from the soon to be loyal 16 daily visitors is appreciated. This blog is only 20 hours old and your convivial but curmudgeonly host picked a bad time to start a new project. Mrs. Dawg has a honeydew list longer than my tail. One of the purposes of No Hope Now is to heap ridicule on idea and people behind this half-baked bailout plan. Of course there will be solid data and plenty of real world examples but just those would prove boring for a blog. In that spirit we need a "Theme Song" for our internet neighbors over at Hope Now. If it is any consolation No Hope Now already has more content and more comments than Hope Now does. And unlike Hope Now, No Hope Now does make promises it isn't ready to document. But enough about that, time for a bit of humor. Let's just concede the obvious popular and classics; "We've Only Just Begun," "We Didn't Start The Fire," "1930s Breakdown," and try for a little subtlety. I'll go first:
The Monkees by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart - The Monkees Lyrics

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do.
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We're just trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin to your town.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

Hey Rob,
Like the new blog. Ok... my vote for theme song is Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Works on all levels and kicks ass all over the place. Also, the video is pure 1970's. It takes me back to hazy dazy memories of even/odd gas days.

Hey Rob - I suggested in CR that you put up a web-based calculator on whether accepting the freeze is good for one or not.

The widget ought to be easily available off-the-shelf and the actual math - well, start crude and improve on it as more people contribute ideas - you know the concept of agile /iterative / cowboy coding (:-) ) I'm sure.
