A Little Levity Goes a Long Way

First, I would like to thank Tom for asking me to be part of his blog. It is an honor and one I hope I can live up to for both Tom and the readers. The biggest issue of late on this blog has been Wal-Mart and the scheming and conniving behavior of PARD. I thought a little levity on this damp and cold Tuesday might help us all get through the day.

Sung to the tune of Polly Wally Doodle All the Day

Oh, I went to Pullman, to do some shoppin’
Singin’ Pullman's a great place to live
But thanks to PARD
Wal-mart’s ground ain’t broke
Singin' People Against Retail Development

To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes

Oh, people cry and people whine
That’s all they print in the paper
How come they don’t investigate
PARD's cover-up petition
I will never know

To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes

Many thanks to Pullman City Council
For tryin’ to help Pullman grow
Many of us see change as good
And support the job you do
Singin' Pullman's a great place to live

To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes

While some readers may think the song is silly, there is truth in it. It isn't any sillier than two PARD members telling me the best way to widen Pullman's tax base is to bring in a Target.
