Seasons of Judd

by: JimC

Thu Jul 30, 2009 at 11:34:12 AM EDT

Per Ray's challenge and Jim's figure for the remainder of Judd's term, 12,471. 12,471 X 60 = 748,260.

A few disclaimers: This loses a lot if you can't hear the song in your head. If you don't know "Seasons of Love" from Rent, this will look very odd.

They sing "Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes" in the original, so to keep it close 748,260 should be pronounced "Seven hundred forty-eight thousand, two-sixty minutes."

Finally: I am a serious idiot for attempting this.

But here goes ... suggestions for improvements welcome.

Seasons of Judd
748,260 minutes,
748,000 moments so dear.
748,260 minutes -- how do you measure,
measure the man?

In hearings, in pressers, in midnights, in cups of Morning Joe.
In inches not given, in laughter, in strife.
In 748,260 minutes -- how do you measure a year of his term?

How about time? When it ends? How about that?
Measure in Judd.
Seasons of Judd.

SOLOIST 1
748,260 minutes! 748,000 futures to plan.
748,260 minutes -- how can you measure the bids on the man?

SOLOIST 2
In truths that he forgot, or in times never tried.
In bridges he named, or the way that he lied.

COMPANY
It's time now to sing out, though the story never ends!
Let's celebrate remember next year that the Judd term ends!

Remember the bills! That he blocked!
Remember the nos! And the nots.
Measure in Judd.
Seasons of Judd!
Seasons of Judd.

http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics...

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure,
measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In
inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you
measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love.
SOLOIST 1
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes - how can you measure
the life of a woman or man?

SOLOIST 2
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned, or
the way that she died.

COMPANY
It's time now to sing out, tho the story never ends let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends. Remember
the love! Remember the love! Remember
the love! Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

Pro-Judd Radio Ads (4.00 / 1)

Earlier tonight, I heard an ad on WGIR praising Gregg for doing something related to "bio-medical devices." I have few details, as it didn't catch my attention until 3/4 of the way through.

Why is anyone spending money to praise Judd?

Judd's ego will not be satisfied... (0.00 / 0)

until he has a $50 million dollar oversized federal building named for him that is larger than the Warren Rudman building. So until then I am sure his staff while trolling for bridges, buildings or potholes to be named Judd Gregg they encourage folks to create ego boosting radio ads. I have an eerie feeling the NH Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College will soon become the Gregg Institute of Politics at St. A's.

Trolling for bridges (4.00 / 3)

That might be the ultimate form of trolling, since that is where trolls are purported to live.
