This is important enough to start my own diary. Everyone needs to take a few mintes and check out

I feel a little out of touch saying this, but apparently there was a pretty extensive contest to write the best lyrics bashing Bush in a standard rap "battle." Many of the entries are absolutely genius, and the winning spoken word poetry is beautiful.
Also, there is an amazing piece of video which splices one of the best raps with footage of Bush smirking from the first debate. The video can be found at

Everyone should take a look, contribute if you can, and if you're in a position to suggest an advertisment concept -- take a real close look.
Thanks for reading, and please reccomend this diary, everyone (regardless of musical taste!) should expand their horizons with Slam Bush!

Here are the lyrics to the video, rap is tough to understand if you don't have the ear for it. I think the ear is inversly proportional to age!
-Ben
You got no choice
that's what you all been told to listen to.
These criminals in the office want to control and limit you.
All the political power is ours
but these cowards' goals and principles is to imprison you.
Mr. President, you inherited the devilish ways of your Dad,
you the biggest terrorist there ever is.
It's evident you're negative
and your father was bothered before
so you used the war as a score to settle it.
World peace is said to be the planet's plans,
so you attack the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Bin Laden you let escape and through the sand he ran.
Now he's taping death threats on a Handi-cam.
Non-humane, Iraq, Saddam Hussein,
didn't find weapons still went and bombed with planes.
Arms are aimed Children and moms are maimed,
C4 killing soldiers when the car's detained.
And you still getting money from these corporations,
and how you pay them back is with these altercations.
Under no terms
you have my vote earned,
not while the sun burns,
each day the globe turns.
Problems evolving,
partial involvement could solve it
if you weren't golfing so often
Believe me y'all, its much worse than it looks.
So let's vote, and stop beating around the Bush!
— Wordsworth, 2004
