she was too busy freaking out over the fact that if you were bound set and determined to make the necessary changes, and had the pc version, you could watch clothed people rub on each other in GTA: San Andreas.

thats ignoring the fact that if you’re bound set and determined you can alter almost any video game to do naughty things.

Hey what about Trent and David’s “I’m Afraid of Americans.” My favourite song since the liberation of Iraq started.

In general, the US (and EU) has imposed free trade on a lot of nations in the past decades, and benefited from it massively.

Its about the most immoral thing you could think of to now turn around and say: “Oh you want to sell your software/culture/labor on our markets to? Not just the other way around? Sorry nope, cant do that need to close the market/borders”.

As far as songs about raping nuns go…this is my favourite. Maybe she should play “Twilight Zone” in the next round…I love those neo-Nazi hotties dancing around.

Golden Earring aren’t German. They are Dutch. I know it’s not easy for most Americans to make the distinction.

What is the big deal if she chose the song and the video is weird. Half of the videos for music are bizarre or worse. It’s just a song and I happen to think it’s a nice song. Forget the video.

I was about to say this was untrue. There is NO WAY her campaign would be so stupid to use this song (with the lyrics posted above) and the terrible video that goes with the song…

However, a quick look at the band’s website confirms the truth. Yes, it is true.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. US politics is about a friggin’ song? I can’t believe there is a theme song in the first place let alone people discussing whether or not it has merit. This is the kind of crap that made you guys fall asleep at the switch and screwed over the entire world with two terms of idiot monkey-boy Bush and the SS puppetmasters.

Well, there you go. I’m on the no-fly list.

Reaction from Holland:
I think the Clintons are big Golden Earing fans.
Bill C. used the song “Radar love” for his campaign, as well a song from Golden E.

And funny: Miss C. and her team didn’t ask permission from Golden E. to use the song…..

Well, look at the state the US economy is in, I think there’s no money left to pay for royalties, LOL

I cannot find a reference to either “Golden Earring” or “When the Lady Smiles” by searching her site with Google (+site:hillaryclinton.com to query).

Google News contains one reference (from the disreputable source of the Huffington Post), and all generic web searches seem to be blogspam.

Verification, please?

Thank you, Takuan. Thank you, Lou. I wonder what he thinks moderators are for?

Storytellers tease out threads, so perhaps that’s the answer. One of my favorite word origins is that clew or clue was originally the loose end of a skein, and thus the starting point for rolling the whole thing up into a ball.

You have to wonder if the Clintons and her people are in touch with reality sometimes. This seems like something that would have been looked at closely. Seems like there are just way to many oops, look the other way from the Clintons.
