Mellencamp Rains on McCain’s Parade

John McCain has been using John Mellencamp songs in his campaign, which is not sitting well with the democrat who wrote them.

At some recent John McCain campaign rallies, John Mellencamp’s “Our Country” and “Pink Houses” have been booming out over the speakers. Uplifting heartland rock must have seemed like a smart pick, but there’s just one problem: Mellencamp is an ardent Democrat. And, until recently, he supported John Edwards – who had been playing “Our Country” and “Small Town” at his rallies. Mellencamp hasn’t yet made a public response, but his reps are quietly reaching out to McCain and asking him to stop playing his tunes. Rolling Stone

On a related note, America bailed out the farmers twenty years ago, it is time for the farmers to bail out America.

You know they caught the move in the Ag ETF (MOO-NYSE) and Potash (POT-NYSE), and the tables have turned. Now they have all the money, and the rest of us are broke..
