I like the Foo Fighters’ music a lot. Last year I went to see them in concert for the first time, and left rather wishing I hadn’t. It wasn’t that the performance was lacking. Rather, it was how in-between songs band leader Dave Grohl’s banter was an incessant stream of f-bombs. It was like being back in junior high during gym class. Childish and ridiculous.

Anyway, a few days ago Foo Fighters released a greatest hits CD, which I bought. On it are two new tracks, one of which (“Wheels”) is currently receiving major airplay on multiple radio stations. The other, “Word Forward,” probably won’t be getting as much attention. Why? Not because it’s a  bad song, but because Grohl decided a f-bomb would be just the thing to put at the beginning of the chorus. I’m sure the record company’s thrilled.

Seems Grohl just can’t help himself when it comes to profanity.

I note this as an illustration of what we’re presently seeing in Congress. The Democratic leadership is so drunk on its own power and delusion it can manage any and every aspect of life better than the private sector it is shoving painfully flawed legislation down our throats — health care, cap and trade — under the guise of it being good for us.

Sure.

Destroying the economy and devastating the public sector the Democrats fail to understand yet loathe all the same will reap a whirlwind of benefits. Spending the country into bankruptcy even as heavier taxes and fees are levied against the people is a surefire method of making things grand for one and all. Continuing to function under the delusion, which should have been dispelled by the collapse of multiple former financial giants under the weight of debt accumulated through a multitude of defaulted homeowners loans made to those incapable of paying them under the threat of the Community Reinvestment Act yet obviously has not been, that there is a magic pile of money “they” have and should share with everyone else will bring bountiful blessings upon the land.

And Twinkles the happy unicorn is dancing in my living room.

One can only watch as the prideful and arrogant do their utmost to destroy this country under the guise of leading it to the promised land. Their fall will be great. In the meanwhile, we pray the damage they cause and the suffering they inflict on the innocent won’t be too great.

Not much more to say, is there. Other than when I listen to Foo Fighters at least I hear some great tunes. As opposed to the rhetoric from Washington.

Seems they just can’t help themselves.
