A Rolling Stone

A Temptations tune came on my radio headset when I was mowing the Not So Vast Right Wing Ranch yesterday.

When I heard the lyrics it seemed to me they were singing Barack's Papa Was A Rolling Stone and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.

Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
