Another genuine faux controversy.

In a frankly embarrassing attempt to garner Dixie Chick-esque notoriety and boost sales, Willie Nelson has penned an anti-war song to be debuted at a Dennis Kucinich rally--yes, I know, in the words of Iago the parrot, I too could have a heart attack and die from not surprised. In further shocking news, he persists in thinking it's all about the oil:

There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

Not that anyone was weeping before we invaded Iraq, of course. No children's prisons, no mass graves. Nothing to see here, folks. Keep moving, it's all about the oil, vote Kucinich.

Oh, and the rest of the lyrics suck too.
