Dead Kennedys – Police Truck [Live 1984] Very Rare! Be up and running with your own webpage in minutes. http://offto.net/94wi6y/
Biafra’s first popular song was the first single by Dead Kennedys, “California Über Alles”. The song, which spoofed California governor Jerry Brown, was the first of many political songs by the group and Biafra. The song’s popularity resulted in it being covered by other musicians, such as The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (who rewrote the lyrics to parody Pete Wilson), John Linnell of They Might Be Giants and Six Feet Under on their Graveyard Classics album of cover versions. Not long afterward, Dead Kennedys had a second and bigger hit with “Holiday in Cambodia” from their debut album Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. Allmusic cites this song as “possibly the most successful single of the American hardcore scene”[11] and Biafra counts it as his personal favorite Dead Kennedys song.[12] Minor hits from the album included “Kill the Poor” (about potential abuse of the then-new neutron bomb) and a satirical cover of Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas”.
Dead Kennedys received some controversy in the spring of 1981 over the single “Too Drunk to Fuck”. The song became a big hit in Britain, and the BBC feared that it would manage to be a big enough hit to appear among the top 30 songs on the national charts, requiring a mention on Top of the Pops. However, the single’s popularity was slightly less than what was required, peaking at number 31 in the charts.[5]
Later albums would also contain memorable songs, but with less popularity than the earlier ones. The EP In God We Trust, Inc. contained the song “Nazi Punks Off!” as well as “We’ve Got A Bigger Problem Now”, a rewritten version of “California Über Alles” about Ronald Reagan. Punk musician and scholar Vic Bondi considers the latter song to be the song that “defined the lyrical agenda of much of hardcore music, and represented its break with punk”.[13] The band’s most controversial album, Frankenchrist, brought with it the song “MTV Get Off the Air”, which accused MTV of promoting poor quality music and sedating the public. The album also contained a controversial poster by Swiss surrealist artist H. R. Giger entitled Penis Landscape.
After the Dead Kennedys disbanded, Biafra’s new songs were recorded with other bands, releasing only spoken word albums as solo projects. These collaborations had less popularity than Biafra’s earlier work. However, his song “That’s Progress”, originally recorded with D.O.A. for the album Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors, received considerable exposure when it appeared on the album Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1.

United States Marine Corps (U.S.M.C.) Sergeant (Sgt) John Bernard recently appeared in an article in The Dallas Morning News (DMN), reprinted from the Associated Press (AP). Sgt Bernards son, Corporal (Cpl) Joshua Bernard, also a Marine, recently died in combat in Afghanistan. Sgt Bernard is attempting to alert the nation that the rules of engagement in Afghanistan are causing the unnecessary death of many U.S.A. military men and women.
The rules basically restrict the use of artillery support, air support, and use of drones if there is a possibility of civilian causalities. Without this support it puts American troops in greater danger as evident by the increase military causalities coming out of the Afghan theater.
The American commander in the Iraq War, General David Petraeus, was summoned to report in front of a United States Senate committee. Before the general even spoke, the Democratic Party leadership on that committee called General Petraeus a liar! To the Democratic Party leadership he was a liar before he spoke, because he was in uniform. That uniform was proof enough to them to bring his honesty into question.
Democratic Senator from Illinois Dick Durbin on the floor of the United States Senate accused American troops in Iraq of behaving like Soviets (commies) in their gulags, Nazis, and Pol Pot mass murderers.
General Stanley A. McChrystal commander of American forces in Afghanistan in August of 2009 requested 40,000 additional troops to carry out the mission. President Barack Obama has yet to make a decision concerning this request. Instead the President is continuing his campaigning, touring the world to apologize for the USA, holding White House galas (gigs), and playing basket ball. All this while troops are in battle and dying for this nation. This is the result of electing a president with zero executive experience.

To the Democratic Party leadership, their loyalty is not to the nation or the security of the nation, but to the attainment and maintaining political power. How anyone in the United States can ever vote for a Democrat while our sons and daughters are at war, is most baffling if not disturbing.

Almost exactly ten years after doing his first, and very funny, party political broadcast for the then-SDP/Liberal Alliance, John Cleese is confused about something – and he needs the British public to help him understand it…
Another clever, funny and thought-provoking PPB by Cleese, and one of the last ones (if not *the* last one) he did.

The US supreme court has issued a landmark ruling that will change the way US election campaigns are financed.
By a 5 to 4 vote, the court lifted long-standing limits on corporate spending in political campaigns, opening the door for private entities to flood the political marketplace with corporate money.
Al Jazeera’s John Terrett explains why it is likely to have an immediate effect on the upcoming Congressional elections in November.
