The copyright below is 1995, by the way. Obama's not the first one to get guys like this wrong, you see.

By Moe Lane

It's a song by W.J. Bethancourt III, who is one of the Banjo Gods; he's also known as Ioseph of Locksley. For the SCAdians reading this; yes, that Ioseph of Locksley, which is why I'm not going to violate his copyright by reproducing the whole thing. But the lyrics are still... of note for a certain condescending junior Senator from Illinois, so let me pass along the first and last stanzas:

I like to punch holes in pieces of paper
At a thousand yards or so
Me and my thirty ought six have a good time
That's where I like to go
I don't care for fishing, and I don't drink at all
Nor camping far out in the sticks
I just like to punch holes in pieces of paper
Me and my thirty ought six!

[snip]

So please, Mr. Congressman, think about me
As you sit 'neath the Capitol dome
I'm just one guy of two hundred million
Sitting back here at home
I'm no one important, I'm not very rich
But -I VOTE- on Elections Day's mix:
Punching small holes in pieces of paper ....
Me and my thirty ought six!

(Sample tune here)

Mind you, Mr. Bethancourt's not "bitter." Indeed, that's the whole point.

PS: Good banjo album, by the way: it can be ordered here.
