GEORGE SHRUB *The World's Only Known Singing C.I.A.
Agent*RULES!! 
Newjob title for Shrub!:
Cultural Director, Department of Homeland
SecurityGeorgeShrub has been traveling throughout his
globalized domain, sharing hisPoint of View (the Right
One) so that people won't need their own. Heemploys
anti-folk songs and interventionary anthems to explain
(andenforce) that the business of America is none of
your business, thatunions are never civil, and that
the proper place for himself, likeWal-Mart, is
everywhere.



 
has been trying to keep up with his shadow,
Shrub,touring closely behind him. He continues to
afflict the complacent,occasionally rhyming in the
process.
Dave has been known to take the air out of the
windbags of the week,de-distort history,
and rewrite the classics with parody and thrust.
He has recently founded the International Federation
of InvestigativeSongwriters,
in a pre-doomed effort at respectability.

Some lyrics: 

On the 8th day of Bushmas my President gave to me 
Drills for the Arctic 
Water filled with arsenic 
Oil won't mix with water 
But oil and government oughta 
In a centrifuge 
Which he'll set up in a wildlife refuge 

On the 9th day of Bushmas my President gave to me 
A - bill - of - rights! 
Not for gays or blacks or free speech 
Not for none of these 
But for health insurance companies 

(Hokey Pokey:) 
You put your right foot in, you take your business
clout 
Your put some PR spin and you shake it all about 
You put them in the pokey and you pay a buck a day 
That's what it's all about 

(Home on the Range:) 
Oh give me a plant And a good worker ant 
And a dear little minimum wage 
Where seldom is seen a unionized teen 
And the kids hold their bladders all day
