The fifth Beatle: Larry Cretul

House Speaker Larry Cretul has discovered Pandora, the cool Internet radio now available for BlackBerry and iPhone. And through that, he has created a new mantra for the Florida Legislature.

"I finally got fed up with watching House," Cretul told his top lieutenants during a pre-session briefing. "So I get on Pandora and this thing starts rolling out and this song comes up. And I couldn't remember the name of the song until two minutes ago when I hummed it.

"It’s a Beatles song and it's called Come Together. If you hear me humming it up from the podium up there today, it’s because I’m trying to get it out of my head and into a message."
