It’s all about headcount! 
Late of the beloved anarcho-syndicalist one hit wonders Chumbawamba, Danbert Nobacon has released The Library Book Of The World, backed by the musical stylings of the Pine Valley Cosmonauts.
For our purposes the highlight is the song Nixon Is My Dentist, sadly not available on the artist’s MySpace page.
We can enjoy the lyrics though, as the late President contemplates the devastation Bush has wrought:
“NIXON JOLTS, BOLT UPRIGHT IN HIS GRAVE
BANGS HIS HEAD ON THE LID … … HE NEEDS A SHAVE
PAT LOOKS ROPEY, SHE’S SEEN BETTER DAYS
THEY CAN’T BELIEVE HOW WELL THE PRESS BEHAVES
(HE SAYS) YOU DON’T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU GOT IT SON”
The Houston Chronicle reports that President Bush is headed for another record while besting Nixon in unpopularity, getting set to beat the leasurely Ronald Reagn for most time off.
It’s countdown to August 9th, the Nixon resignation anniversary.
The kids at Dump Dick Day are trying to put impeachment back on the table, so they’ve of course gone to the youtube to reach today’s youth.
So far they have but one entry in their video competition, but there’s still time to make your offering!
Enjoy “The History of Nixon and the Future of Cheney:”
A fresh face has joined the cavalcade of scowling actors playing Richard Nixon.
British actor Jim Broadbent will do the honers this time, with pretty boy Brad Pitt as John Dean.
But can America absorb two Nixon bi-ops? The film of the play of the book of the TV interviews “Frost/Nixon” is also going into production, with the play’s star Frank Lanella beating out former matanay idol Warren Beaty to keep the role.
Past greats in the role:
Lane Smith 
Anthony Hopkins 
Phillip Baker Hall
