For too-close ties to CAA meant
That it sold out years ago.

Should consider the current climate and realize
That a far wiser move would be to run.

Who sold American decency down the river
As bad a medical maneuver as the time
Mickey Mantle was wrongly given a new liver.

Not so much.

But as a candidate has to face the

Of being even less exciting than
Linoleum.

What I Learned About The Financial Collapse On "Moyers and Company"

Rid of Glass-Steagall, our economy could be dead.

Yes, this move was pretty ballsy
Especially when you consider his late son, Ivan,
Had suffered from cerebral palsy.

Palin: Obama Twisted Her Words In New TV Ad

Sarah, with all due (lack of) respect
Your ignorant words are often resisting
Making anything close to any sense
And don't need any additional twisting.

This Just In: Cash-Poor L.A. Little League Team Turns Down Money From Strip Club

They changed their mind. I guess accepting
A donation from this X-rated place stuck out
As bad PR. Oh well: like nerdy guys who try
To ask out strippers, the team just struck out.

Jet Strip, A Gentleman's Club, Makes Donation That Saves L.A. Kids' Baseball Team

For the Lennox Little League, this was better
Than back-to-back round trippers.
(Feel free to add your own double entendres
Regarding baseball and strippers.)

Can't think of any? Okay. Not a problem.
Inspiration can be one of life's hassles ---
Let's just say that all of the team's shirts
Were smartly accessorized with tassels.

"Kill Bill" Actor Arrested For Domestic Violence

A drunken Michael Madsen hit his teenage son ---
What a terrible & utterly appalling thing to have done.

She says HBO's "Game Change" is a pack of lies
And complaints have been compiled, yet
Why haven't we heard from any of her lawyers
About a libel lawsuit having been filed yet?

But later on when 2012 rolled around
They forgot to get a candidate.

Gingrich's One Financial Backer Is Billionaire Sheldon Adelson

This is just so wrong on so many levels
From any possible angle that you may look.

Latest hits
And makes me want to buy Rush's
Greatest hits.

For Your March Reading List --- Hope: A Tragedy

Shalom Auslander's new book
Has a hook that's quite dramatic:
A modern guy discovers that
Anne Frank is living in his attic.

The premise took my breath away
And into my head was hurled
The thought that yes, I guess there
Are still new ideas in the world.

Seriously?

For the Republican party, is this really
Good, better, best:
A dim Mormon, a fat Georgian and a loon
In a sweater vest?

Gingrich Says Georgia Win Will Launch Southern Sweep

This bold claim isn't one of
Newt's better epiphanies:
He also thinks they actually
Serve breakfast at Tiffany's.

1969-2012

Republicans insist Andrew Breitbart
(This takes a great deal of guile)
Was like Abbie Hoffman or Jerry Rubin
Just from the other side of the aisle.

This kind of disingenuous revisionism
May sound good off the cuff
But fails to make much sense because
It's not thought through enough.

Breitbart would've given Abbie & Jerry
Sharp elbows and a shove
Far too concerned with both war & hate
To ponder peace & love.

The old school icon he resembles more
With vicious rages and sorties
Is Joseph McCarthy who also died quite
Young while still in his forties.

He passed away (wait for it) of "natural causes."
Don't waste your breath ---
Those lies that rode shotgun for his entire life
Persist even after his death.
