The GOP Hits New York (Sing to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again")

The GOP bash will soon be here.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Won't give 'em a hearty welcome cheer.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
They'll swarm our bars and they'll crowd our streets.
They'll praise and laud their nominees.
And we won't feel gay when
The GOP hits New York.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Hubble finds bubble, the nebula N44F, which, at left, is being inflated by a stellar wind, creating an interstellar bubble. The bubble forms when an extremely hot star is surrounded by a cloud of cooler gas, and the stellar wind emitting from the star pushes the gas, causing a bubble to form. (NASA, ESA)
