You know, Mr. Speaker, Alan Jackson lives in my district, a great country singer, and I was thinking of some songs for him. One of them was ``I Would Rather Be in New York Raising Money Than Funding the War in Iraq.'' The other one was ``How I Turned the Blue Dogs Yellow.'' Then there is also an author in my district, Ferrell Sams; he writes a lot of books; you may have read some of them, but a good book is ``How to Lose a War and Store Peanuts.'' Let me say this, Mr. Speaker, for Alan Jackson to look at the rules. And he could do a whole album on the rules here. ``We Only Change Them When We Have To'' would make a great title for that rules album. ``We Only Leave the Vote Open When We Are Losing, When the Time is Up,'' would be another good one. And the last one would be, ``We Only Change Them When We Have To.''
