Snow Blow Hard Songs of the Week
The original concept for Snow Blow Hard: Xmas with a Vengeance was to combine elements of A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life with characters, settings, and events from Idaho politics and business, de-christianize it, give it our leftist spin, and make it as a musical. Last year's debut only included two songs but this year we've written 4 additional songs (so far) and it's a bona fide musical. Today's set of episodes contains a duet between a very old billionaire rancher (guess which Idahoan he's based on) and a version of Tiny Tim recast as one of those "South Park Republican" youths that drive us up the wall. The other is a number about genetically modified organisms sung by an angry food activist.
Question: which recently elected Idaho Democrat provided fodder for the first verse of the song with a remarkably uninformed apology of Monsanto et al's success at weakening biodiversity, seeding genetic pollution and then suing for "infringement," introducing allergenic (in some cases fatally allergenic) proteins into the food supply, and resisting attempts at testing or labeling through lies, deception, and manipulation of international trade agreements (for starters)? "Isn't [genetically modifying organisms] just progress?" NO!!
