With all due apologies to the good Doctor Seuss (who, I believe, was a
socialist, but I digress)

Also, let it be noted that I'm probably actually more in favor of finishing
the recounts than suppressing them. But then I don't care if we get Gush or
Bore, anyway. Dubya blew his chance to ask for recounts across the whole
state of FL including his strong counties so tough noogies for him.

(BTW, Cheney coming on TV and saying they aren't getting enough time to
transition is smoke. Daddy Dubya didn't even START his transition planning
till mid december. 'course, he was just taking over the well oiled Reaganb
machine on his way to wrecking it and the country. But I digress.)

copied to fun because it's funny, but FUT to debate by default just in case
it provokes any rash statements.

(People who want to continue to be funny are going to have to re-set the
FUT, sorry about that... WIBNI there was a multiple choice FUT that you
chose? :-))

Subject: Al Gore I am

Can we count them with our nose?
Can we count them with our toes?
Should we count them with a band?
Should we count them all by hand?
If I do not like the count,
I will simply throw them out!

I will not let this vote count stand
I do not like them, AL GORE I am!

Can we change these numbers here?
Can we change them, calm my fears?
What do you mean, Dubya has won?
This is not fair, this is not fun
Lets count them upside down this time
Lets count until the state is mine!

I will not let this VOTE count stand!
I do not like it, AL GORE I am!

I'm really ticked, I'm in a snit!
You have not heard the last of it!
I'll count the ballots one by one
And hold each one up to the sun!
I'll count, recount, and count some more!
You'll grow to hate this little chore

But I will not, cannot let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, Al Gore I am!

I won't leave office, I'm stayin' here!
I've glued my desk chair to my rear!
Tipper, Hillary, and Bubba too,
all telling me that I should sue!
We find the Electoral College vile!
RECOUNT the votes until I smile!

We do not want this vote to stand!
We do not like it, AL GORE I am!

How shall we count this ballot box?
Let's count it standing in our socks!
Shall we count this one in a tree?
And who shall count it, you or me?
We cannot, cannot count enough!
We must not stop, we must be tough!

I do not want this vote to stand!
I do not like it AL GORE I am!

I've counted till my fingers bleed!
And still can't fulfill my counting need!
I'll count the tiles on the floor!
I'll count, and count, and count some more!
And I will not say that I am done!
Until the counting says I've won!

I will not let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, AL GORE I am!

What's that? What? What are you trying to say?
You think the current count should stay?
You do not like my counting scheme?
It makes you tense, gives you bad dreams?
Foolish people, you're wrong you'll see!
Your only care should be for me!

I WILL NOT LET THIS VOTE COUNT STAND!
I DO NOT LIKE IT. AND AL GORE I AM!
