"It was Christmas Eve babe in the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you."

Ah the Pogues...long time since I thought about them and the Waterboys. I feel a rummage through my CD's coming on...

Without John Stewart and Colbert, where would I go for my news? They are brilliant!

Rory- When things are awful, The Pogues and chocolate are my last refuge. And I didn't even realize it myself- Stevil pointed it out. He should be a doctor. :)

Starting- Right? Who could even bear the news if it wasn't made hilarious?!
