Notes
"Presidential Rag" - you said that you didn't know about the bugs. Doesn't matter what you knew - we voted for you, you must take the blame. Includes reference to the Vietnam War: "But you had better remember this while you still got the time Mothers still are weeping for their boys that went to war Father still are asking what the whole damn thing was for" [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
