(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

SING-A-LONG WITH ANDY
A Napoleonic (Complex) Ditty
“[I]’m sorry but [I] pay for those soldiers to fight in a volunteer army. [T]hey are servants of people like me who will never fight. [Y]es, servants of civil masters. [A]nd they will do what they are told by people who would never go to war. [T]hat’s called a democracy.” -- [A]ndrew [Sullivan]
Well, that just got me humming today and eventually the words came . . . (Conjure up Lesley Gore.)
It’s my war and you’ll die if I want to,
Die if I want to,
Die if I want to.
You will die too,
If I want you to do.
