Campaign and Suffering

Campaign and Suffering
Capitol Steps, a group of former Capitol Hill staffers, are up to their usual hijinks with the hilarious musical parodies released in the midst of the 2008 primary campaign. “76 Unknowns” (based on “76 Trombones” lampoons the numerous presidential hopefuls whose campaigns quickly fell apart, while “Huckabee” is a hilarious sendup of “Let It Be,” about the last G.O.P. presidential candidate to fight Senator John McCain for the nomination. President George W. Bush, known for his many vocal stumbles in public appearances, becomes Kermit the Frog in “The BrainMouth Connection,” while “The Rain in Spain Lies Clearly on the Plain” is transformed into “McCain’s Campaign,” describing the unexpected rebound of the Senator’s campaign, which was nearly out of money and thought to be on the verge of collapse in 2007. “obama Meets Osama” (using the music of “Black and White”) envisions a meeting between Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama and terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Former Massachusetts Mitt Romney” is the target in “Help Me Fake It to the Right,” former New York City mayor and flop presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is skewered with “Relying on NineEleven,” borrowing the music from “Stairway to Heaven.” Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose shortcomings as a presidential candidate were revealed with one of the most inept campaigns in history, is the focus of “Hillary’s Way,” an amusing send up of Frank Sinatra’s hit “My Way.”Current topics are also covered. “Buy, Buy American Pie” laments the lack of homemade (in other words, U.S.raised ingredients) in food products. “Ten Pills and You’re Fine” ridicules the outpouring of medicines for diseases and conditions that people had never heard of, set to Michel Legrand’s “The Windmills of Your Mind” (with one line being “Cause Levitra and my Cialis keep my husband up all night”). The vocalists do a great job with their impressions (particularly of Bush and exPresident Bill Clinton. This terrific CD, like many earlier efforts by the Capitol Steps, ought to be required listening for history classes in the future.

Top News for 2008

2008 was a crazy year for everyone. Here is a quick run down of the top news stories of 2008:

The Election of President Barack Obama: On November 4, 2008 Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States. He is the first African American President in the country’s history and the significance of his taking the oath of office on slave-built steps on January 20, 2009 was not lost on those who attended the events or watched the ceremony on television. President obama has been busy since being sworn in: closing Guantanamo Bay, passing the Lilly Ledbetter Act, redefining ethics for his administration and setting a tone of “I will be held accountable for what I do and I will always be up front in my decision making.” The theme for his administration is transparency and accountability and so far he seems to be living up to his promise.

The Crashing of the United States Economy: The stock market plummeted just days before the 2008 US Presidential Election making news in both the economic and political spectrum: less than twenty four hours before the crash, John McCain had insisted that the United States’ economy was strong. Some say that this might have been the final nail in the coffin of McCain’s doomed campaign. The news did not stop with the crashing of the stock market. The market somehow kept diving, prompting some to ask “does the Dow ever run out of points?” It will cost the federal government more than one trillion dollars to fix all of the damage done in the crash.

Oil Prices Dropping: When the news broke of the oil companies’ insanely high profits in a single quarter, many people decided that they were tired of funding oil companies and turned to other modes of transportation: mass transit, bicycles and even walking. This led to the crash of oil prices and the price of gasoline went from almost four dollars per gallon to less than one dollar and fifty cents per gallon in some areas. The prices have since leveled out at just fewer than two dollars per gallon.

The Russia-Georgia War: The nations of Russia and Georgia made news in 2008 when they went to war against each other for five days. The war was started with a Georgian artillery strike on the newly forming South Ossetia region. Russia fought back by invading Georgian territory which made their relationship even less stable.

Other major news stories of 2008 included the death of Heath Ledger (who accidentally overdosed on sleeping and anti-anxiety medication), the never ending Iraq war, the rise and fall of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, the terrorism in Mumbai, and the passing of Prop 8 in California by the exact same margin that the state elected Barack Obama President.

2008 was an exciting news year
