Songs in Our Heads

Sometimes, there really is a song for every occasion.

Take Sarah Palin, for instance: While TMV co-blogger Jill Miller Zimon evidently hears nuns this morning, Polimom’s brain has been looping Janis Ian since last night.

It all seems pretty appropriate to me, actually, considering the initial reactions to her ranged from Mitch Ryder & the Detroit, to Helen Reddy, to The Beatles.

Any ideas for the next song on the track?

I am so sorry! I am "religiously-challenged" I guess - being Jewish, I've never really heard that phrase, hearing nuns - this means...death, going to heaven? New one for the lexicon (I have to write about how I learned where red herring comes from today by volunteering in the elementary school library and listening to the head librarian explain a mystery book devise for directing the reader the wrong way!).

Anyway - ok - I get it now. Yeah - I don't know that I hear nuns exactly - Kathleen Parker seems to wish that she was hearing nuns. Who knows - maybe people will rally behind Palin and say come on, show us the pitbull, we don't need the lipstick.

All I really want to say is that we expect that people who run for this level of office in our country recognize the importance of that office in regard to the voters who didn't vote for them - that's what keeps our democracy strong. I don't feel that McCain has done that - he put politics first, way first. You simply cannot say that about Obama's choice of Biden.

"How do you solve a problem like Ms. Palin?"

That wasn't you, hearing the nuns singing "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" in The Sound of Music?

If it wasn't, then that would mean.... ALL these songs are only in MY head. Ack!!!

I did write that post - but no, lol I think I see now - no - that wasn't my title - that's actually Kathleen Parker's column's title - I didn't think of that on my own. :)

Does that clear that up? lol I got a lot of songs in my head but no - nothing about heaven, nuns or death. :)
