Starting the day with lyrical satire

Thank you for running Marty Colgan's humorous letter. I enjoyed the "Super-delegate" cartoon too. Here is more political humor:

A few weeks ago, a friend bought a new, expensive Lexus, but he had to take it back to the dealer because he couldn't get the radio to work.

"This is a new voice-activated, computer-controlled, combination radio/MP-3 player," the dealer explained. "You tell it what you want it to play and it will go online and download the music, if it does not already have it in its memory."

"Let me demonstrate," said the dealer.

"Nelson," said the dealer.

"Ricky or Willie?," asked the radio.

"Willie," said the dealer and almost immediately the radio began to play "On the road again."

My friend really enjoyed his new sound system. He would say "Beethoven," and enjoy classical music, or say "Beatles," and enjoy one of their great songs.

Last Friday night, he was driving on Algonquin Road, when a drunk driver ran a red light and nearly hit him broadside, almost destroying his brand new Lexus. He was able to swerve and avoid any damage to his car.

"You brain-dead moron," my friend yelled at the driver.

The radio immediately started playing "Hail to the Chief."
