Here's what I've got so far. What else do I need?
The Smiths "Interesting Drug"
"young married couple in debt--ever felt had?"
Bob Dylan "The Times, They Are A-Changin'"
"the order is rapidly fadin'..."
R.E.M. "Exhuming McCarthy"
"Look who bought the myth! By jingo, buy American"
Green Day "American Idiot"
"One nation controlled by the media"
The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again"
"Then I'll get on my knees and pray...we don't get fooled again"
And oh my word, how could I forget? Andrew, Andrew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AJV25_oRMM

For something a little more angry, I'd suggest some Napalm Death's "Multinational Corporations."

Pay no mind to Matt's metal misanthropy. I asked some friends to weigh in.
Neil Young's "Campaigner" is a perennial favorite for the election season, but since GWB dropped below Richard Nixon in popularity this past month, it seems all the more appropriate b/c of the line "even Richard Nixon has got soul."

(Also I never notice dhow much it sounded like "Skyway" by the Mats.)

BTW, whenever I come to this page, I think the top video reads "Interesting Dug"

"interesting Dug" would give the pullquote a much deeper meaning.

Great choices, let's hope that they're the right moodsetters. I would hate to think of the alternative.
