So this isn't the worst thing that ever happened at the White House.
There was a poll on Yahoo today about Gangnam style. The options were I love it (23 percent), I'm over it (36 percent) and I have no idea what that is (41 percent). So I have no idea what that is is still winning but over it has clearly taken the lead over love it.
Over it.
We must really be over it if it is true that PSY will be appearing at the White House on December 21.
Obviously anything interesting to the ruling class will fall out of favor with the young people. And it looks to me like that has happened. Gangnam style has used up its 15 minutes of fame. But what a run it was.
Here is another one of the high points, PSY appears at the 2012 American Music Awards on November 18, 2012. He performs with special guest MC Hammer and an audience understanding not a single word of the lyrics other than "sexy lady" and perhaps "Gangnam Style". Of particular interest it seems to me is PSY's choice of costume, MC Hammer pants.
It starts slowly and builds but by the end of the performance the whole audience gets into it and they start to dance, Gangnam style.
It is over NOW.

Here's how I heard the news -- from yesterday's Washington Post:
"In other news: Alan Simpson puts an end to Gangnam Style -
By The Reliable Source
How you know Gangnam Style is over: Alan Simpson is doing it in a new video. The former Wyoming senator, 81, exhorts young people to stop Instagramming their breakfast, tweeting first world problems and watching the infectious dance video. Instead, he wants them to use their social media skills for “The Can Kicks Back,” a non-partisan drive to fix the national debt. “Take part or get taken apart,” he warns. “Boy, these old coots will clean out the Treasury before you get there.”"
A video. With Alan Simpson -- gangnam style.
That's very funny. We were just talking about the same concept: now that we listen and dance along, it can no longer be cool for the young people. TJ would be appalled. It was a good time, though.
