Have you ever played poker with someone for play money, only to lose and then have them demand that you give them a hundred dollars? Of course you haven't, because you don't hang out with scumbags like that.

That said, I'm sure a number of people who read this site are acquainted with the Clintons or some people who work on Hillary's campaign -- and in light of their trying to get the Michigan and Florida votes to count at the convention (votes which are of course meaningless because the people of Michigan and Florida were told it was just a dummy vote, not to mention that Obama wasn't even on the Michigan ballot), it's entirely possible that you do hang out with people like that.

So much for Bill Clinton's adage about people who work hard and play by the rules.

If you have a second, please go sign the petition urging Hillary to abandon her push to have the Michigan and Florida delegates seated in the upcoming Democratic National Convention, and give a listen to our slice of angry punk rock expressing our disgust at the situation by pushing the play button below.

Max and the Marginalized is the only rock band in the progressive blogosphere, and therefore the best one! They write and record a song a week and post them here. Go to their outposts on Facebook or MySpace for tour dates and downloads.

Two Peninsulas (A song for Hillary's Florida/Michigan power grab)


Two peninsulas pointing off an island
sticking out like two sore thumbs
One agreement to play within the playbook
throw it out when the game's been won
When I was younger, a saying i remember
"work hard and play by the rules"
And though I've always been one of your defenders
These accusations might all hold true

So let's play cards just for fun and plastic chips
If you bust me will you try to get my money in your grips
And I'd really hate to think that this was the plan all along
and I know you know it's wrong
Two peninsulas we're cut right off the island
don't you try to sew them on

Start the efforts to certify the phantoms
Under the guise of counting everyone
Any victory without a competition
Counts for less than Barry Bonds' home runs
And to you, i know it's surely not a problem
To have an asterisk next to your name
And though you've been the victim of some dirty tricksters
It's no excuse to be one just the same

So let's play ball in an exhibition match
If I rout you can I try to get it added to my stats
Drive a rusty stake into questionable ground
Looking for a workaround
Two peninsulas were cut from the equation
don't you try to make them count

'Cause we've grown, old and tired
Of willful disregard for the rules
So it's high time I object
To ambition left unchecked
You've got so much more than my respect to lose
