It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in . There's an old man, sittin next to me, makin love to his tonic and gin ... . . .. . . . . . . .. . . ... . . . .

.. . .. . . . . . .. Now John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free, and he's quick with a joke or a light of your smoke, but there's someplace that he'd rather be. . . .He said 'Bill I believe this is killing me', as the smile ran away from his face, 'yeah I'm sure I could be a moviestar, if I could get outta this place'. . . . . .. . . . .And the waitress is practicing POLITICS, as the businessman slowly gets stoned . Yeah they're sharin a drink they call lonliness, but it's better than drinkin alone .

Well, bein's I'm Davey, I'm nolonger in the Navy (retired) and pretty much quit drinking too...
It was an early morning bar room
and the place just opened up.
The little man came in so fast
and he started at his cuffs...
And the broad who served the whiskey
she was this big ol' friendly girl
who tried to fight her empty nights by
smilin' at the world
And she said,
"Hey bub, it's been a while,
since you've been around.
Where the hell have you been hidin'?
And why you look so down?"
And the little man just sat there
like he'd never heard a sound...
The waitress, she give out with a cough
and actin' no the least put off,
she spoke once again and she said,
"I don't want to bother you,
consider it's understood...."

it sounded pretty immaginative...
however most of the people on Yahoo Politics are too young too drink...
maybe you should switch it to Apple Juice at your next door neighbors house during New Years Eve, surrounded by drunk adults as your neighbor asks if you want something to drink from the fridgerator...

sad really since all american should be thinking about the issues and trying to engage in constructive dialogue rather than a scrappy few.
