I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

Apropos of the Battle of New Orleans, this old Steve Goodman song, as sung by Arlo Guthrie, came to mind: "The City of New Orleans" -- which is not actually about the city, but about an Amtrak train called the City of New Orleans, running between Chicago and New Orleans.

A few lines in particular caught my attention:

Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

"Dealin' card games" suggests Trump, whose name is a card-game term and who wrote The Art of the Deal. "The old men" are the oldest president ever and his even-older opponent.

"Penny" = Pence. "A point" = appoint. "Ain't no one keepin' score" = no need to count the votes. If, as some are speculating, Pence hands Trump a win on January 6 by refusing to count those electoral votes which are contested or obviously fraudulent, this line will turn out to have been strikingly prophetic. It would then take Biden a couple of days to concede -- because you have to fire once more before they begin a-runnin' -- so that his concession would be perfectly timed for the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.

Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea

To paraphrase: "down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico."

Note that Biden is known as "Amtrak Joe" and is said to have traveled more than two million miles by train. And of course he is a "Blue" -- that is, a Democrat. This makes him a "railroad blue," no?

But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
