“Jennifer- You forgot to put “unrepentant” in front of “terrorists”. No Palin Points for you. Sorry. Those are the rules…”

Almost perfect. I’d have gone for the more Palinesque “Them’s the rules,” but I won’t nitpick. It’s more than good enough to deserve a music tip.

Super Furry Animals. They’re Welsh. “Rings Around the World” is their magnum opus (the tracks “Run, Christian, Run” and “Presidential Suite” are good places to start), but almost anything of theirs is A+.

Here’s five by them:
