Bush Bans State Department Officials From Obama Rally
Posted July 24, 2008 | 08:45 AM (EST)

In a flagrant political act, the State Department has barred its employees from attending Sen. Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin tonight. Under the pretense that he is maintaining political neutrality, the Washington Post reported today, State Department Undersecretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy has interpreted the Foreign Affairs Manual in the most restrictive way, claiming that he is ensuring that foreign service officials will remain untainted by a “partisan political act.” (Spouse and family members, however, have generously been excluded from this ruling.) The U.S. embassy, which is headed by ambassador Robert Timken, a businessman and crony of George W. Bush’s from Ohio, who is widely reviled in Germany for his ignorance of foreign affairs, has instructed officials not to attend the rally. The American Foreign Service Association has complained about the edict but there’s not enough time to dispute it. Funny that.

Well I want somebody to tell me what’s wrong with me
I want somebody to tell me what’s wrong with me

Pistol Packin’ Mama by Al Dexter, 1943

Drinkin’ beer in a cabaret And I was havin’ fun!
Until one night she caught me right, And now I’m on the run

Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin’ Mama, Lay that pistol down.

She kicked out my windshield, She hit me over the head,
She cussed and cried, and said I lied, And I wished that I was dead.

Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin’ Mama, Lay that pistol down.

Drinkin’ beer in a cabaret, And dancing with a blonde,
Until one night she shot out the light, Bang! That blonde was gone.

Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin’ Mama, Lay that pistol down.

I’ll see you every night Babe, I’ll woo you every day,
I’ll be your regular Daddy, If you’ll put that gun away.

Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin’ Mama, Lay that pistol down.
Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin’ Mama, Lay that pistol down.

Now down there was old Al Dexter, He always had his fun,
But with some lead. she shot him dead, His Honkin’ days are done.

Recorded in 1943 by Al Dexter, an ol’ East Texas boy from Troup.

My mom would sing it to me all the time remember juke boxes that is what she would play when we would go to restraunts and Pistol Packin Mama, remember that one? Oh and Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, she loved Ring of Fire. My Mom was a big time Hank Williams Fan.

The youtube Bruce posted of all the 60s hits, I knew all those tunes because of my older sisters…I must have been a difficult child, they were always singing to me! I have memorys of my eldest sister dancing with me on her hip and singing to me, we are 10 years apart.

lyrics, Pistol Packin Mama don’t take your gun to town )
