If you don’t have Rock Band, you are missing out. If you do have it, you know that the band Freezepop does not belong there. Here are songs that should be included instead. First, Incubus’ "Megalomaniac" would have a great intro, and would be fun to play on all the instruments. "Song 2" by Blur would be great simply for saying "woo-hoo" over and over. I know that Modest Mouse will be in both Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero 4, but I want to play and hear a song that isn’t "Float On." Perhaps Dashboard, which has some fun riffs and some cool lyrics, would be a good pick. Also, I have no idea why 311 has yet to pop up anywhere. Hundreds of songs are in Rock Band, and "Amber" has not yet made it into the playlist. "Come Original" and "Love Song" by 311 would have also been amazing picks. Authority Zero would make for some fun times, though the vocals would be difficult. I am also wondering why there is not a track pack for Rage Against the Machine. Lastly, "Stacy’s Mom" by Fountains of Wayne would make a great party song. Everybody already loves singing to it and hates hearing it. It would be perfect for the game.

I didn’t intend for this article to be about Sarah Palin. In fact, I was aiming more for a humorous run-down of the day’s events, with an editorial stance. However, I will warn you right now: I’m slightly biased and yes, this article will mostly be about John McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin.
