Allahpundit: We Have To Work On Your Rock’N’Roll Picks

One is tempted to move off the anti-triumpnalism stance on the news that, apparently, the Lefty think-tanks are nearing acceptance of that which we knew all along about ObamaCare. Our blue state Col. Jessup overlords figured we couldn’t handle it, though: the truth.
When you look at the ultimate slide in the presentation from the Politico link,
…the first thing to come to mind for the Dems is:

The Edge’s list of don’ts is far more helpful and comprehensive for Nancy and the Gang:

Don’t move Don’t talk out of time Don’t think Don’t worry Everything’s just fine Just fine
Don’t grab Don’t clutch Don’t hope for too much Don’t breathe Don’t achieve Or grieve without leave
Don’t check Just balance on the fence Don’t answer Don’t askDon’t try and make sense
Don’t whisper Don’t talk Don’t run if you can walk Don’t cheat competeDon’t miss the one beat
Don’t travel by train Don’t eat Don’t spill Don’t piss in the drain Don’t make a will
Don’t fill out any forms Don’t compensate Don’t cower Don’t crawl Don’t come around late Don’t hover at the gate
Don’t take it on board Don’t fall on your sword Just play another chord If you feel you’re getting bored
Don’t change your brand Don’t listen to the band Don’t gape Don’t ape Don’t change your shape Have another grape
Don’t plead Don’t bridle Don’t shackle Don’t grind Don’t curve Don’t swerve Lie, die, serve
Don’t theorize, realise, polarise Chance, dance,dismiss, apologise
Don’t spy Don’t lie Don’t try Imply Detain Explain Start again
Don’t triumph Don’t coax Don’t cling Don’t hoax Don’t freak Peak Don’t leak Don’t speak
Don’t project Don’t connect Protect Don’t expect Suggest
Don’t project Don’t connect Protect Don’t expect Suggest
Don’t struggle Don’t jerk Don’t collar Don’t work Don’t wish Don’t fish Don’t teach Don’t reach
Don’t borrow Don’t break Don’t fence Don’t steal Don’t pass Don’t press Don’t try Don’t feel
Don’t touch Don’t dive Don’t suffer Don’t rhyme Don’t fantasize Don’t rise Don’t lie
Don’t project Don’t connect Protect Don’t expect Suggest
Don’t project Don’t connect Protect Don’t expect Suggest
I feel numb

That’s 90+ Don’ts, but who was counting?

Something slightly more up-tempo might help the situation a bit more.

And who could capture the moment more cheerfully and appropriately than the Presidents of the United States of America?

I will now retreat into my dour, wet-blanket mode.

The land is in the middle of a full-on disaster. When your Congresstool arrives and (s)he opens the piehole about, well, anything, just laugh. Loud guffawing will do. Speaking from personal experience, the effect, while mildly rude, is not lost.

    To be honest I’m a little unnerved about giving the GOP a majority in both houses. I think they will probably squalor it but the only thing I take comfort in is that the House, if not the Senate, will be dominated by hardcore conservatives…one of them hopefully being…John Dennis.

    @Mark,
    Uh, the correlation between all of the ObamaCare Dont’s and the litany of Dont’s in this rather off-beat clip?

    I get it. I just really HATE U2. But I love most of the other rock clips you put up :-)!
