| Saturday songs for Baby Boomers Posted: 23 Feb 2013 02:41 PM PST  Those of you who fit a certain age demographic as I do, probably remember that early morning Saturday television consisted of cartoons, but as the day went on, we visited the Old West. There were shows about kids and their dogs, kids and their horses, masked heroes, western heroes and their sidekicks, and loners who aimed to bring law and order to the wild, wild west. Somehow, we were able to see good guys and bad guys, and we knew the difference. No one felt obliged to go out and have a shoot-em-up in real life. Fantasy and reality were distinct. As I was recalling some of the old western shows, I started to think about the theme songs, those catchy tunes that signaled that your favorite cowboy or other western hero was "on the air." There were so many great examples, so I thought I would choose a few and put them into a short video. I mostly included just snippets of the songs, but it will be enough to make anyone who shares these memories nostalgic. So, return with me now, "to those thrilling days of yesteryear." Enjoy.  |

Ashley Monroe ft. Blake Shelton - You Ain’t Dolly (And You Ain’t Porter) Lyrics
Chorus:
You ain’t Dolly,
And you ain’t Porter
She’s a little bit fuller,
And you’re a whole lot shorter
Let’s dance all night,
An fill the jukebox full of quarters
Cause you ain’t Dolly,
No, and you ain’t Porter
Verse 1:
Well, I notice you right off the bat in those cowboy boots
Who couldn’t help but see you in that Rime Stone suit
That’s cause I’m the reigning queen of Karaoke night
Well if I drunk enough to sing, hell I just might
Hey now, don’t you worry cowboy, cause I’ll get you through
We’ll sing the cheating song, just like they used to do
Chorus:
Cause you ain’t Dolly,
And you ain’t Porter
She’s a little bit fuller,
Yeah, but you’re a whole lot shorter
Let’s dance all night,
An fill the jukebox full of quarters
Cause you ain’t Dolly,
No, and you ain’t Porter
Verse 2:
You’ll probably see me country singing on The Voice someday
Yeah and I’m the guy they wrote about in 50 Shades of Grey
Why don’t you come on back to my place, and have your way
oh baby that sounds tempting, but I just can’t stay
Oh, we won first á¹—rize cowboy, let’s just split the dough
Honey I will always love you, but we’ll never know
Chorus:
Cause you ain’t Dolly,
And you ain’t Porter
She’s a little bit fuller,
Yeah, but you’re a whole lot shorter
Let’s dance all night,
An fill the jukebox full of quarters
Cause you ain’t Dolly,
No, and you ain’t Porter
No, you ain’t Dolly
And you ain’t Porter

I would kill for you that's right
If that's what you wanted

I'll let your fields burn around me , around me
I'll run now, this time
Oh, my love is true

Talk about it, talk about it
Only if you be about it
We don’t do, no wasting of time
Come and get it, come and get it,
If you bump that life, then leave it
Best believe that I’m getting mine
Because I work too hard to drive any other car than the one I wanna drive
Oh yeah
I work way too hard not to walk in like a star
Turn it up and get alive
Chorus:
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it up
You only get one life
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it up
So live it up tonight

You only get one life
Got to live it up,

Got to live it up
So live it up tonight
What you gonna do about it?
Club will soon be letting out and
And you inside will watch away, yeah
Umm, if you gon’ do it, do it now,
You get one more chance about it
No one wants to live with regrets?
Cause life is way too short to not do it like a sport
Play hard until you win
oh yeah
So I don’t know about you, but what I’m gonna do
Live it up and keep it moving
Chorus:
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it up
You only get one life
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it up
So live it up tonight
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it uá¹—
You only get one life
Got to live it up,
Got to live it up
Got to live it up
Oh yeah

[Verse 1 - Gucci Mane]
6′s on the Charger and they said it couldn’t fit
But I’mma still do it cause a nigga so hood
Wish I could and I know I should
But fuck that shit, right now I can’t do it
Got a super thick chick with some real big lips
And a sweaty little bitch, suck the dick so good
Gonna hit this scrilla like a picnic
Take a clip, bitch, take a Twitpic, ? of a big dick
Talkin’ too slick, too quick, to a new bitch
Bitch’ll teach a trick to a trick, have a blue dick
‘Bout the same time that Jay dropped the Blueprint
Nigga tried to say that I hit him with a pool stick
Say you got a gun, but you know you can’t use it
So icy boys, and we still tote Uzis
It’s about money, it ain’t never ’bout music
Yeah, he from the streets, but he still ain’t Gucci
?? champagne, just cool
If groupies keep droolin’, then the hoes keep choosin’
Walkin’ through the mall like I’m 7 feet tall
Tryin’ on shoes and I got my toolie(?)
Damn Gucci Mane, you so unruly
If I’m standing in ya way, then pussy nigga, come move me
10-17, yeah that’s my movement
Got 10 young killers on the back of my ?
[Hook x4]
My cup so dirty
My cup so muddy
[Bridge x4]
Dirty cup, dirty cup
Damn I got a muddy cup
[Verse 2 - 2 Chainz]
Opposite of being broke, mane
Cocaine, dope man, got them Js smokin’ out a coke can
Nigga got so much work, talkin’ work
When I’m ridin’ in the car, they still say I’m ridin’ in the work van
Oh man, oh man, you don’t really know
What it did when the spot you workin’ at is really hot
And you gotta put it in the butt, but her butt ain’t big enough
So you gotta go get a booty shot
Got a ? car, let the 50 cal dig her down
Niggas know I pay a few bills
Your work stepped on, I got my vest on
Mufuckas already knowing what it really is
Click clack, get back
You work out, might hit him for a six pack
Work out
Get that? Might hit him for a six pack
Flip that, me and broke nigga mismatch
My rims cost 10 stacks
Pimp that, get back
If I fall off, then I motherfuckin’ limp back
Pimp that, pimp what
She said where your motherfuckin’ limp at
I said I had a good year baby
So where my, my motherfuckin’ blimp at
[Hook x4] + [Bridge x4
[Verse 3 - Gucci Mane]
Back against the wall, I’mma ball like a dog
I don’t fuck with y’all, y’all won’t ever be me
Talk sweet game to a petite thing in the Jeep mane
Knock ya teeth out in the middle of the heat game
You see things, hoes see things, you a G, mane
Be all you can be, don’t be like me, mane
Give you ’bout three, I’mma whoop it like free
Have a pint, have a liter, this that dirty sweet tea
By three, I was just tryin’ to grind on a G, mane
Same time that Dr. Dre said “G Thang”
Damn what another nigga said ’bout me
Why these niggas still worry ’bout me
Buyin’ ?? mane on the D-train when the bricks came
Damn I act a fool in the kitchen with my wrist game
Ice on my neck, got a chick and a Vette
And I’m ballin’ like a player for the motherfuckin’ Jets, mane
Take it to the streets, want a war with a G
Live at the gun range like my name Chief Keef
Say he got beef but you ridin’ two deep
I’ll knock a passenger to the damn backseat
King Louis shoes on my feet, ain’t cheap
Gucci Mane street, I’m so concrete
? stylist is so unique
Got your baby brother sellin’ work for me

I love bad bitches, that’s my fucking problem
And yeah I like to fuck, I got a fucking problem
I love bad bitches, that’s my fucking problem
And yeah I like to fuck I got a fucking problem

I love bad bitches, I’m such a savage it’s ridiculous
Show me a bad bitch and I’ll give her a dick to kiss
Tell her tongue it down, throat emphasis
Give me brain ’til her brain can’t remember shit
I make it summer rain though she got December dick
Let her states remain and I leave my name in it, I mean I put my name on it
Got a picture perfect pussy, I’mma put a frame on it
I keep it so a hundred but positions change on it
She told me how she want it, her face I came on it
I’m never disappointed, I left her disjointed
Pancakes and eggs with some head in the morning
They say money make a nigga act nigga-ish
White hoes love nigga dick
Don’t know why I always got another nigga’s bitch
But I bet I’ll always put it in her ribs, I beast

Crash beamers get my slacks out the creanus
My queen don’t even speak english
Watches on mobs, rangs all fingers
I know some place like cold train in lungus
If you can play the game win it
Remember lead singers need wingmans
Smooth as luther ingram
Ordaine, shoot game strain
Eddie cane’s pain, heavy chain, sex, cocaine
A fresh chest pain
Dress plain, cribble white planes, my life’s changed
Polite ways, nice waves, white slaves
My knife is like the ice age, escapades
I rock the ozokay shades, it was a face
The legacy, the flesh of the emcees, delicacy
I delicately, squeeze shots from celo can see
I’m like denzel, a pelican brief
Porsche is yellow like american sheets
Please, my taste lemons like shot a
We left the swar a, the jaguar’s great
The caviar’s brace, whipe the black car
4.6, come with the crash bar
Seats are white like terry bradshaw
It’s a tough bizness, ducking the sinners
Hustlers sinners, crushing the fetish
Touch bizness bruh man, nigga chillin, nigga chillin
Bruh man nigga chillin,
It’s a tough bizness, ducking the sinners
Hustlers sinners, crushing the fetish
Touch bizness bruh man, nigga chillin, nigga chillin
Bruh man nigga chillin,
Mortal whippin work, whip the firt
Twist purp, hit em where it hurt
And hunned dollar syrup
Bitches flirt, I can cop, third shit burk
Benzes with the scurp, rubber gets burnt
Ducking 5 0 po, tae bo, eyes low
Keep the 45 by the ty bone
Smell socks, locks, to the bell hop
Checkses in the mail box
Used to sell rocks
Flex the gators with the petrified I
Accessorize neck, ties cough link rough minks
Just think, I could knock your buzzed just with one blink
Cause they nothing sweet, bucking heat
Hookers rub feet
Hoes we never cuff em let em run free
Close shit is custom, we run things, things don’t run we
Crocodile down dundee, it was a done dee
Hoes off the tummy, o got dumb g
It’s a tough bizness, ducking the sinners
Hustlers sinners, crushing the fetish
Touch bizness bruh man, nigga chillin, nigga chillin
Bruh man nigga chillin,
It’s a tough bizness, ducking the sinners
Hustlers sinners, crushing the fetish
Touch bizness bruh man, nigga chillin, nigga chillin
Bruh man nigga chillin.

| CNN - Piers Morgan Tonight - November 12, 2012 |
I appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan on November 12 to talk about the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus. Since it was a panel discussion, I only had limited time to make a few comments. Here are those points, with a bit of expansion. (Watch the segment here.)
I have been invited back to be on the November 13 show to discuss this issue more fully.
Iraq and Afghanistan
General Petraeus did a great job in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq, it was General Petraeus who convinced President Bush to commit additional combat forces for what is now called "the surge." That, combined with the Sunni Awakening, broke the back of al-Qa'idah in Iraq (AQI) and rendered them ineffective as a fighting force. The presence of additional American troops forced the Shi'a militias, particularly that of Iran's fair-haired child Muqtada al-Sadr, to back down.
Unfortunately, President Obama's decision to not pursue the option of keeping American forces in Iraq past the December 31, 2011 date specified in the Status of Forces Agreement undid many of those gains. There was a provision in the SOFA as negotiated by the Bush Administration to allow for troops to remain based on the security situation. The realization that American forces would still be in Iraq past 2011 kept al-Qa'idah and the militias in check.
In my analysis, the security situation in late 2011 was perilous enough to warrant talking to the Iraqis about continued American support. Unfortunately, President Obama chose to withdraw all of the troops. While "ending the war in Iraq" might have made a great campaign talking point, it was inaccurate. The war in Iraq continues and the situation continues to worsen. Quitting a war neither ends it nor wins it.
In Afghanistan, the general again convinced the President, this time Barack Obama, to deploy additional combat forces to increase the tempo of the fighting. It succeeded, but only for a short while, for two reasons. The President did not authorize the number of troops General Petraeus thought was required for the mission, and once deployed, the President announced the timetable for the withdrawal not only of the surge forces, but all American forces.
Announcing an arbitrary withdrawal schedule merely telegraphs the date of victory to the insurgents. This is not, as promised, "ending the war responsibly." It is, in essence, quitting. Again, quitting a war neither ends it nor wins it.
CIA Director
General Petraeus is remarkable military officer, trained at West Point and educated at some of America's finest universities. He has distinguished himself in several military leadership roles. However, none of those qualify him to be the nation's top spymaster.
The Central Intelligence Agency has two main functions. First is the collection and production of intelligence to support national-level decision makers - we are mainly speaking about the President, Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense. Its second mission is the conduct of covert operations, those things that must be done in secret. That involves things like providing arms to insurgent groups - the Kurds, Libyans and hopefully the Syrians, come to mind. It also includes direct actions with Defense Department special operations forces, such as the killing of Usamah bin Ladin. CIA paramilitary officers also conduct drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.
Much of this work is distasteful and requires thinking outside the generally accepted military box. It requires a different skill set to manage people who are taught to lie, cheat and steal, albeit for their government. Directing the CIA requires a professional intelligence officer - either a case officer who recruits and runs spies, or a special activities officer who understands covert operations.
Sex and Benghazi
The most important point I tried to make Monday night was the need to get past the sex scandal and focus on what happened in Benghazi. This resignation gives us that opportunity. Petraeus is the "go to guy" for what happened out there. Virtually everything that transpired that night in Benghazi was either in the Director's purview, or he had access to the information. The CIA base in Benghazi was much more involved in what was happening in that part of Libya than the consulate.
General Petraeus would also have had access to the decision-making process that resulted in no military response. The CIA operations center would have been involved with this crisis from its start to its finish.
Also of interest is the timing of the general's resignation. If there were political considerations involved - and I don't know one way or the other - I do not believe it was tied to the election, but rather to the upcoming testimony before Congressional committees about what transpired in Benghazi. The important point here is, that the American people finally have an opportunity to get the real story, since next to no one places any credibility in the ever-changing Administration account.
General Petraeus is no longer an active-duty military officer, nor is he any longer the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency - thus no longer part of the Executive Branch, no longer a part of the government. He has no official standing to prevent him from detailing exactly what happened in Benghazi, and possibly more importantly, what was happening in Washington. He is the "go to guy" - he can tell us who knew what, when did they know it, and what did they do about it.
General Petraeus is not scheduled to appear before any of the Congressional oversight committees. Despite President Obama's spokesman's words, "The president is confident that Acting Director [Michael] Morrell is fully informed and capable of representing the CIA in a hearing about the incidents in Benghazi," I would rather hear it from someone no longer answerable to the President. That someone is David Petraeus.
