I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Fighting Evil With Evil

I presume everybody has heard of the process of Extraordinary
Rendition. This is the process through which Caligula and his gang
kidnap people (innocent or guilty) and ship them off to
torture-friendly countries where they try to extract information (that
they may or may not have) by any means necessary.

I don't have a problem with this. To make an omelette you have to
break a few eggs. Torture a few innocent people, by all means. It's
funny because I don't know them.

I think they should start a program (from which I have unconditional
immunity) through which citizens can report candidates for
Extraordinary Rendition to the government. Your neighbor's dog keeps
you awake at night, you call homeland security, your neighbor spends a
couple of weeks in an Egyptian prison getting beaten with hoses and
his nuts shocked - he will see the error of his ways.

I have a candidate for this program. As soon as they put in place, I
want the writer of this song to disappear in the middle of the night,
and be gone for a long, long time. I want him treated in such a way
that when he comes back, he will never repeat the terrorist act of
writing another song like this one.

Artist: Buddy Jewell
Song: Help Pour Out The Rain (Lacey's Song)

The moment was custom-made to order:
I was ridin' with my daughter on our way back from Monroe.
An' like children do, she started playin' twenty questions,
But I never could've guessed one would touch me to my soul.

She said: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Well, I won't lie: I pulled that car right over,
An' I sat there on the shoulder tryin' to dry my misty eyes.
An' I whispered: "Lord, I wanna thank you for my children.
"'Cause your innocence that fills them often takes me by surprise."

Like: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Well, I thought about it later on,
An' a smile came to my face.
An' when I tucked her in to bed,
I got down on my knees an' prayed.

Lord, when I get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"I don't wanna come to visit 'cause I'm comin' home to stay?
"An' I can't wait to see my family and meet Jesus face to face.
"An' do you think, Lord, you could use just one more Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Mmmm, can I help pour out the rain?
