Recent conversation between my eldest and me, while Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” played in the background:

Me (in my best distorted Ozzy voice): “I am Iron Man!”

Xrlq 2.0: “No, you’re not.”

He’s right. I know.

Which of the following songs will be played the most at campaign events featuring Gov. Palin?

  1. “Barracuda,” by Heart.
  2. “Sarah,” by Starplane, Jefferson Airship, or whatever the hell else they were calling themselves that week.
  3. “Barracuda,” by Heart.
  4. Anything from Miss Congeniality.
  5. “Barracuda,” by Heart.
  6. Any Monty Python song sung by Sarah’s long lost brother in law, Michael.
  7. Not “Barracuda,” but only because the Wilson sisters take a cue from Boston and Petty Tom and get pissy.
  8. “Baby’s On Fire,” by Sammy Hagar, because (1) she is and (2) no one else will let Republicans use their songs.
  9. “‘Barracuda,’ and if the Wilson bitches don’t like it, they can sue my near-perfect ass.”
