Rep. Tom Brower gave a "rap invocation" before the start of yesterday's session to sum up and remind everyone of the events of the 2009 Legislative Session. Embedded within his rhythmic rhyme and reason were hilarious - and sometimes odd - interjections of cute commercial phrases, lyrics to popular songs, band names and other notable situations from this past year. What can I say? The lawmaker got skillz in the rap department yo.

Another rapping invocation To start tonight's debate

Well, it's not for me, but I'll allow that Brower's rap is marginally better than former Rep. Mike Kahikina's guitar serenades...
