There's something happening here and you don't know what it is...

[kentuck]

...do you, Mr. Jones?

Is it just another Democratic primary or is it something much bigger? Something that no Democrat or Republican has yet clearly defined? Is it something akin to an invisible wave rolling across America? It doesn't really have a Party label. It is "anti-politics". It is pro-American. People are tired of what has been done in our names. It is not confined to one small state. Joe Lieberman was only the catalyst - the beginning.

1. Hopefully the beginning of the repudiation of Bushco that should have

happened in 2004.

It just took the drowning of a great American city, among other things, to make it happen.

2. It's the spirit of 68.....1968

[Atman]

3. You might be on to something. This will embolden other challengers.

Joe might be the first Dino Dominoe to fall. And not a moment too soon. Politics is getting interesting again, instead of just plain maddening.

4. we can't get rid of republicans until we get rid of Democrats who act

like republicans.

[kentuck]

7. "Democrats who act like Republicans...."

...are Republicans.

5. they said the sleeping giant was awoken on Sept.11

i think America the giant has finally awoken from its slumber. It is time to take our country back and get it back to wear it belongs...by the people, for the people :)

8. You hand in your ticket

And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

My new name for Joe: Mr. Jones!



Thanks Kentuk!

9. Enter the sword swallower

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

10. It's called Democracy

The people of CT have spoken.

Bush and Condi clash over Israel; president overrules her for the first time

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has become increasingly dismayed over President Bush's support for Israel to continue its war with Hezbollah.

State Department sources said Ms. Rice has been repeatedly stymied in her attempts to pressure Israel to end strikes against Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. The sources said the secretary's trip to the Middle East last week was torpedoed by the Israeli air strike of a Lebanese village in which 25 people were killed.

"I've never seen her so angry," an aide said.

12. For What Its Worth....

...

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, 'Hooray for our side'

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

(Buffalo Springfield)

13. (Original Poster was referring to a ) Different song:

"Ballad of a Thin Man" (Bob Dylan)


You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

14. I think yours is approrpiate, too.

(Quite frankly, I don't quite understand all the Dylan symbolism myself.)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. Some of it is clearly just gratuitous, LOL. Cool song nonetheless.

[Robeson]

16. I do too....

...thanks! :hi:
