Harvey Danger "Flagpole Sitta"

Here's another Weekend Post:

I thought of this song this week, when I read about a poll on people's understanding of the Supreme Court's decision on the Healthcare Act.

Despite the fact that it was one of the most anticipated political news events of the year, despite the fact that countless hours of TV and radio and countless pages/bit have been typed in print and online leading up to and immediately following, still, 45% of the people polled either incorrectly thought that the Court struck down the law, or simply didn't know what had happened either way.

Like it, don't like it, either way, it seems like you'd have to actually go out of your way to not be aware of it.  And yet, almost half of your neighbors are clueless.

The line the came to mind from this song?

"I've been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding . . ."


Hear the song on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are wonderful to revisit.
