I select "Block Pop-Up Windows" on the "Safari" menu (Apple Safari browser).

Snob. :>) I last used an "Apple" in the very early 90s.

Would this election be complete without a takeoff on a Tom Lehrer song? And dontja wish Freberg has done one? "The Note"
__________________________________________

With all the clichéd media references being thrown around as part of the Schwarzenegger coverage (as late as Sunday night a certain Other Network was slugging their piece "Total Recall"!!), we are shocked, shocked that no one reproduced in full the (slightly modified) lyrics to this classic and wildly appropriate Tom Lehrer song, complete with Mr. (Mike!) Murphy reference: members.aol.com

Hollywood's often tried to mix
Show business with politics
From Helen Gahagan
To Ronald Reagan?
But Mr. Murphy is the star
Who's done the best by far.
Oh, gee, it's great!
At last we've (maybe) got a governor who can really kill and dance.
We can't expect America to win against its foes
With no one in Sacramento who can really tap his toes.

The movies that you've seen
On your television screen
Show his legislative talents at a glance.
Should Americans pick crops? Gray says "No",
'cause no one but a Mexican would stoop so low.
And after all, even in Egypt, the pharaohs
Had to import Hebrew braceros.

Think of all the musicals we have in store.
Imagine: Broadway Melody of Two Thousand Four!
Yes, now that he's (maybe) a Governor, he's really got the chance
To give the public a song and dance!
