this cat is where it's at

People of America, I'm sure you've heard what the other candidates are proposing as the solutions to the challenges facing this great nation of ours. Before you cast your ballot, however, you ought to ask yourself if another four years of politics-as-usual is really what this country needs.

There's another way. A better way.

It's time for a new species of chief executive. It's time for a Tawky Tawny presidency. As a tiger who has managed to pull himself up by his own foreclaws (notwithstanding scurrilous rumors concerning the patronage of a being of godly power), Mr. Tawny is able to rise above the petty distractions of professional politics and offer a true vision of substance for America:

EXPERIENCE!

SOUND JUDGEMENT!

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!

COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM!

DIGNITY!

TAWNY '08 - PUT A TIGER IN YOUR TANK!

Tiger! Tiger! - So You Won't Deceive Me (from The Kind of Goodnight, 2007) - This Atlanta-based garage punk outfit has jumped to the #3 slot on my Last.fm "top artists" list, right behind The Clash and Lush. Fitting company, indeed.

Paul Anka - Eye of the Tiger (from Rock Swings, 2005) - The diminishing returns of irony, clearly illustrated.

(A big thanks to honorary "Tiger Scout" Dave Lartigue for his invaluable assistance.)

Grand, isn't it?

deltronic: I use my own webhost for uploading the tracks (and will eventually get around to migrating the blog to it one of these days). There are plenty of free hosting services like ZSHARE that can do the work with only a few extra hoops to jump through.

I saw you Twitter this and was thinking: "Tawny Kitaen?"... this is so much cooler.
I'm starting to like that Tiger, after this post and the other one featuring, not long ago.
