Bachman underdrive

Taking Care of Business from Bachman-Turner Overdrive's BTO II album, yes vinyl, circa 1970 is one of those songs that gets played forever, like Happy Birthday for rockers.  Dogs recognize a few chords from the Canadian band but the pups had a tough time using 8-track tapes in the fabled 70's due to the opposable-thumb design flaw issue recounted herein prior.  There is a new Bachmann in our midst singing a different tune under the name of Michele.  Of things that dogs can't do, that she could do, one that is of curiosity for the super-fun-value of gaining untold joy is seeing a dog, and Michele as-well, attempt to read a birthday card (presumptively for Randy Bachman or Fred Turner of BTO - simply to connect the thoughts full circle).  The inflection demonstrated in her speech pattern at debates is reminiscent of the vocal cadence of a volatile neighbor scolding a 10-year-old for raking leaves into their yard by the gallon.  Her ire is a brutal combination of vocal characteristics found in people who have just been cut upon in line while listening to a incoherent Coldplay song on their iPod, or just someone who is tiring of vaginal dryness, take your pick.  Applying that vocal synchronicity to a card reading - "don't count the years, count the blessings," could be humorous.  It would be better than hearing her talk of a double-wide wall to keep illegals out of her country as if she is to be believed (and she's running for President believe it or not) immigration policy, not the top 1%, is ruining this land and the Get Off My Lawn Republicans are surely Taking Care of Business.  (Circle complete).
