> THE GOP CIRCUS
> Are you watching the GOP debates?  I almost hope one of them wins, just to hear "Hail to the Chief played on calliope.
> 
> I worry about Mitt Romney 'cause he's showing early signs of Dutch Elm disease.  It's a recycled joke for a recycled candidate.  Mitt Romney is like one of those songs from a few years ago that when it first comes on you say, "What is this song?..." and then you recognize it and say, "Oh, I HATE this song."
> 
> Rick Perry unveiled his big economic plan called Cut, Balance and Grow.  He names all of his plans after his hair.  He shot a coyote while jogging - he claims it's true.   And that'll be useful skill if he's, say, negotiating a Middle East peace and there's, you know, a coyote.  He's still got a lot of support from people who believe that America should secede from the union.
> 
> And Herman Cain - pause for laugh.  People are saying that "Nine, Nine Nine" is the emergency number for pizza delivery, but I think he got the phrase from one of those women at the Restaurant Association.  She’s German.
> 
> POST-HYPNOTIC T-SHIRT
>  
> 
> If you're ever going to get it off your chest, first you have to put it ON your chest.  This very persuasive "You're Getting Sleepy" image is available at Cafe Press on a number of t-shirt styles.   Want a coffee mug?   A Christmas ornament?  A cozy for your next Tea Party?  Let us know.
> 
> HOPE, STRUGGLE AND CHANGE - FREE DOWNLOAD
> We need anthems for the Occupy Movement. Not just one but many, as I wrote in a piece for the Huffington Post.  Melanie and I wrote "Hope Struggle and Change" a few months ago, and it's gratifying to see how well it dovetails with the movement.  We want this song to heard everywhere at all times - an ambitious goal - so we're offering a free download of the mp3.
> 
> In next month's newsletter, I'll go back to offering a free "Soundcheck" download to you, my subscribers.  But this one's for everyone.  Everywhere.  At all times.   You can also learn to play it here.
> 
> YOU'RE GETTING SLEEPY
> “Hope, Struggle and Change” is just one of many - well, eleven - new songs on the new CD “You’re Getting Sleepy,” available now on the website and on iTunes. If you’ve ordered already, thanks so much. If you haven’t, click on the album cover and you’ll find yourself miraculously losing your inhibitions.
> 
> In honor of the "Beer Party Anthem" we're offering a discounted 6-pack (six "You're Getting Sleepy" CDs for the price of five) and a 12-pack (twelve "You're Getting Sleepy" CDs for the price of ten).
> 
> FIFTY STATE UPDATE
> I'm taking the Starving Ear to all fifty states, as anyone knows who's heard me flap my jaws about it.  I've been saying that even in the reddest of states, I find bright blue dots - groups of Progressive people doing good work in places where that is not easy.  And my idea is to connect the bright blue dots and make a picture of America - that’s what I've been saying.  Now I find that there's actually a group CALLED Brite Blue Dot in Birmingham, Alabama.  Here's their blog.
> 
> Thanks to all who made my recent shows throughout the South so encouraging.   Alabama counts as state number 14.  Next week, it's Florida, but I've shoe-horned a California show in there as you'll see on...
