More of my musical nonsense …<\/p>\n

\nFilmed in the Baen<\/a> Barfly suite at Dragon*Con<\/a>, a little ditty about “the only sport for adults.”* Here’s the chorus:<\/p>\n

Politics, that’s the life for me
\nIt fits my arrogant, megalo-maniacal personality\t
\nI’ll get my name in the papers and my face on your T.V.
\nAnd take good care of myself, my friends and my family — yes, that’s the life for me<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Watch it here: Playing Politics<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Tedd Roberts for both the videography and all the YouTube magic.<\/p>\n

I’m the Anti-Candidate, and I approved this message.<\/em><\/p>\n
