  1. Pretty good song. I do not want to slam anyone’s mother though. I know some are ripe for it, but most are not. The question that came to my mind recently is how did the prez’s mum support herself? She went flying around the world like there was no need to work, but you gotta have money to fly, eat and sleep. How on earth did she manage to fly the globe with no source of income?

    • Like most liberals, her support was mainly from non-profits. This is from Wikipedia:

      Dunham studied at the East–West Center and at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, where she attained a bachelor’s in anthropology[4] and master’s and Ph.D. in anthropology.[5] She also attended University of Washington at Seattle in 1961-1962. Interested in craftsmanship, weaving and the role of women in cottage industries, Dunham’s research focused on women’s work on the island of Java and blacksmithing in Indonesia. To address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development. Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and she consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Towards the latter part of her life, she worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia, where she helped apply her research to the largest microfinance program in the world.[5]

  2. I believe the late Sam Kinison actually named a song for her.
    It was titled, “Die, Bitch, Die!!!!!” (I can still hear his voice crooning it)
    A couple of the catchier lyrics were, “Eat shit!”, and “Burn in Hell!!!”
    …. followed by a series of “Oooooh…Ooooh….Ooooh…Oooohs”….
    He was so articulate. I miss him.

  3. Ah, Dear Sam (the former child evangelist) has passed on to his reward, and is now entertaining the Angels. Or…. are they Fallen Angels?
    Oh well, I’m sure they’re laughing a lot.
