Don McLean has definitely substituted the chorus from The Saga Begins when he's doing live shows

We could avoid this entirely, but the idiot Congress LIKES it. I don't think any other country has a debt ceiling like the US. Why? Well, because when another country's government (legislature, dictator, voodoo shaman) authorizes spending on something, they also authorize paying for it.

But in the US, Congress says (to the executive branch) you can only collect 50 bajillion in taxes, no more, no less. Also, you have to spend 55 bajillion on these programs, no more, no less. Then the president says, "uh, okay, but I'll need to borrow 5 bajillion to do that because of math." In reply, Congress stamps its collective foot like a toddler and says "NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO ASK US FIRST! Why are you drowning this poor country in debt you spendthrift!"

I don't think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

My 18-year-old has a couple of health issues, and I'm just dreading the day it starts to get worse. Sending love for you and Bear!

The song that the sailors sang in the original B&W is stuck in my head to this day. "Ohhhh, we've got this notion that we'd quite like to sail the ocean..."

When I'm feeling too happy, I wonder how long it would be before someone found me dead. I live alone and work remotely, so my boss and coworkers might be confused or annoyed if I didn't login to work for days, but probably wouldn't call the police or anyone for a while. I have group chats with friends and call family, but not really on a regular schedule, so not responding for 3-4 days wouldn't be weird. I just hope my cat would find food or eat my corpse to survive.

They do have courses, but there's also a lot of good quizzes to evaluate your critical thinking skills at ClearerThinking.org
