Welcome to the blog n roll series, Hear Today, Here Today!  This ones for fans of my CD covering the election events of 2004, Right-wingers Need Love Too!  Now, let me be clear, I'm a big McCain/Palin Republican, but lately I've grown wearing of my fellow Republicans putting down Obama for being a Community Organizer, whatever that is. 

So, the moral of this song, for those who haven't figured it out after hitting the play button on the play station I've uploaded here, and listening to the sample, is Community Organizer.  really quite simple:  Just because a particular job may be below one's pay grade, or not the type of job that would necessarily qualify one to be President of the United States of America, doesn't mean that we should put that job down.  Even working at McDonalds requires certain innate responsibilities that are of benefit to society, and how else would you get your Big Macs?  

Candy Stripers across the country, I hope you unite around this song.  Community Organizers, that goes for you too! And let me add this: Community Organizers, though some Candy Stripers would say they do more than you, it's just a pecking order thing.  Ignore it, raise your head and be proud to be an American and proud to serve your country in the outstanding, if mildly dubious capacity as Community Organizer. 

Let's rise above the temptation to diss these so-called low-man-on-the-totem-pole jobs and elevate these people, giving them the credit they deserve for serving their respective communities, and the country at large!

Yes, you can hear it today, because it's hear today.  Tentatively, it's the title track to my tentatively entitled Election 2008 Soundtrack,

CANDY STRIPERS AND COMMUNITY  ORGANIZERS.

After you've heard it, visit my website, hit the music button, scroll to the album, and give it a spectacular, great, good, fair, or bad review (bad, in the slang sense, meaning cool :)

Candy Stripers and Community Organizers

words and music by Dr BLT © 2008 Right-wing Records

if you've never been a Candy Striper

or a Community Organizer

you should not make fun of these jobs

if you've never been a Candy Striper

or a Community Organizer

then what right to you have

to be a snob?

chorus:

I'm not sayin' either one

qualifies you to be President

but don't make fun of either one

or both

'cause Candy Stripers

play a key role in society

and so do C.O.'s so get out and vote

Candy Stripers

comb the hair

and empty bedpans

and they care

for sick folks

in the hospital

you know I'm not quite sure

what C.O.'s do

but I'm sure that

it is special too

so don't put them down

or call them clowns

(chorus: repeat chorus and then go visit a local Candy Striper of Community Organizer and give them a few encouraging words and a hug!)
