It's after midnight. I'm tired. I have to go work another 10 hour day tomorrow. But a good friend of mine asked me to help make this video about Mitt Romney go viral. Folks, I hope it does. The friend in question is none other than Hal Ruzal, a long-running CBGB's regular when the Lower East Side had rock-n-roll character through and through. Now the frontman for Kilifax, he still plays up and down New York City with his unique style of punk rock, blues guitar, and a funnier, louder, angrier version likeness of Phil Ochs.

Prompted by candidate Romney's admission that he doesn't care about nearly half the American public, Hal released this video from a recent show at Desmond's Tavern on Park Avenue and 29th Street. Curiously enough, Ruzal actual wrote the guts of this song in the 1980s about Ronald Reagan. Listen and you'll agree: it works on just about any Republican presidential candidate!
And let's really do our work to make sure this song goes viral. Yes, Romney will go down in flames come November, but before Mittens becomes a historical footnote, let's have some fun with him.
