That's some toe-tappin' stuff, you betcha!

Our pal RJ Eskow gets down wit' the "top 50 conservative rock songs of all time" at the HuffPo.

Many of their selections are laughable for their inability to know irony when they see it. Some are inexplicable ("Wake Up Little Susie"? Huh?) Others confuse a singer's bowing to society's conformist pressure with an endorsement of that pressure (see "Wouldn't It Be Nice" -- by their logic, why not include "Society's Child" by Janis Ian?)

Maybe the National Review will be coming up with a list of "Top 50 Conservative Hip-Hop Songs" soon. That's one I'd like to see, given the Right's inclination toward easy money, bling, infidelity, theft, gas-guzzling cars, and shooting people in the face.

Until then, conservatives, keep on rockin'. I can't wait to see Scalia and the rest of the gang gettin' down. Pass the Dutchie, somebody!

I'm guessin' "Dutchie" is some kind of herbal remedy - a laxative maybe?

"Conservative rock" is like "conservative comedy" - a non-existent oxymoron.
