Here is the Swirlypine contribution:

"My friend's try to tell me that I'm not country.

Because I don't wear a hat and drive a truck.

I tell them that behind this suit and tie I'm wearing, is a heart that's made of leather and built Ford tough.

I may not load a semi for a living, and I may not be haulin' hogs or logs or Spam.

But while I may be doing deals on wall street and helping Bush to exploit the farmer underneath this Nordstrom shirt I'm wearing is a soul that longs for rude waitresses and long boot scoot boogie Wrangler nights." The end.

Do you think we will win?
