Barack and roll
juliaheffernan:
After watching SNL this week where they sang “Solid as Ba-rock” for the Barack and Michele variety half hour, Eric and I tried to think of other songs with rock in them and replace them with Barack.

We got XP at work. I am now in 2003. Not a bad place to be when you consider 2008. I think while I’m here, I’ll raise the alarm about sub prime mortgages.
