YOU’VE DONE NOTHING BUT CAUSE HARM. Matt had Clash-blogging; I’ll have Avail-blogging. The latest Mason-Dixon poll has George Allen slightly ahead of Jim Webb, albeit still within the margin of error. No one knows how the race will end up, but one group that had Allen’s number way, way before Macaca-gate was the brilliant 1990s Richmond-based punk band Avail. Back on their classic 1996 album 4 a.m. Friday, they penned an anthem, “Governor,” about then-Gov. Allen:
so don’t talk to me
about all you’re gonna do
and who you represent
and how you’ll see it thru
i’m not buying who you’re selling
you’re selling you
and it just doesn’t seem right
you’ve done nothing
but cause harm
and you want
praise
and i’m not gonna take it easy
We shouldn’t, either.
