Noel Gallagher is a supporter of the Labour Party, which if you are not familiar, is like the British version of the Democratic Party:

The Beatles released a song on their breakthrough album Revolver where they complained about their taxes, and thus are right-wing Tories (they are like the British version of the Republican Party).

And who did the people vote for?

Score 27 for Oasis, with more precincts reporting.

1. Oh bollocks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxman

One quirk in the lyrics was Harrison's throwing in the names of the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Harold Wilson and Edward Heath (a future Prime Minister). Harrison pulled no punches in his bipartisan bashing — Wilson and Heath were the leaders of the British Labour Party and British Conservative Party respectively.

That's bipartisan bashing. From the greatest rock band of all time. Which ain't Oasis. :P

2. Fox News says that they are fair and balanced.
They will tell you that Alan Colmes and Greta Van Susteren are their liberal commentators. I saw Rupert Murdoch testify to that at some kind of hearing.

3. The UK Labour Party has become a...
...Center Right party under the leadership of Tony Blair's 'New Labour.' Blair was, after all, Shrub's crony in the Iraq Debacle. The closest thing the UK has now to the Democratic Party is the Liberal Democrats. Even the Tories are to the left of Labour on a few issues.

It isn't only our politics that has been badly damaged during the past decade.

4. I think I heard your mother calling for you.
She's over there in General Discussion; she says you have to come home right now.

5. Just trying to make some sort of sense...
