 In the land of the long roads

High, lonesome prairies

Dreamin' of the springtime

First crocus in the snow

Coffee in a go-cup

He's headed for the oil rig

Land of shining mountains

Big Alberta sky

The old man in the castle

Red deer and the battle

Rivers in a dry land

Feed the cities of the plain

But nothin' lasts forever

On the Great Divide

Land of shining mountains

Big Alberta Sky

In the night, I have heard the thunder roll

In my days, I have felt the wind and rain

Like the cowboy said, I wish I'd seen the buffalo

Maybe they'll come back again

He's gonna get up early

Try and make a dollar

The only girl he wanted

Took the Greyhound for the coast

But she was bound for leavin'

She will not forget him

Or the land of shining mountains

Big Alberta sky

Land of shining mountains

Big Alberta sky

Might be Impeding Justice

Jonathan Turley, “Countdown” contributor and George Washington University Law School professor, explains how broadly Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law can be interpreted and considers whether the law may be impeding justice in the Trayvon Martin case. “I find it somewhat annoying to see politicians falling over themselves today to say that they never imagined these problems, when critics like myself have been saying for years that these laws invite these types of problems,” Turley says.

Comedian

Comedian Lewis Black, whose latest special is “In God We Rust,” sounds off on Rush Limbaugh’s role in the GOP’s war on women, Mitt Romney’s pre-existing pet problem and Rick Santorum’s anti-porn position. Black says he could understand if Santorum wanted to tax porn rather than getting rid of it, but concludes: “I don’t know what else he’s doing except wandering around, like, in the desert. It’s like having this weird prophet who’s kind of like in the wrong decade.”
