I never thought I'd see the day when Randy Newman's satirical take on American foreign policy would be realised. A sad time when the American president lies through his teeth about Ukraine starting the war.

When the al-assad regime was overthrown and reporters showed the cruelty and devastation wrecked on the country is it any wonder people are looking to escape.
But the right wing press don't highlight this and dehumanise immigrants.

A song that was ahead of it's time, Randy's commentary on the American psyche being satirical at the time but now I'm not so sure!

Politics these days is a bit like the photo in the fast food cafe named after that farmer who went EIEIO (I wouldn't call it a restaurant!) - that's what you're promised.
