There once was a man named Barack,
whose preacher let loose such a carack,

that his opponent, named Clinton,
went to winkin’ and hintin’

that the shephard was same as his falack.

My “hope” for “change” – in haiku:

Bloodied noses;

Dems in Springtime suicide.

Come November: Here’s Johnny!

The minute something can be (successfully) sketched on SNL is because is has taken hold on the collective imagination.

Same with rimes I suppose.

Roger, in all due respect, Kurtz is citing you as his inspiration for turning to poetry to address Obama’s shameful speech yesterday. No objective reader would agree that Kurtz is mocking you. He isn’t. His poem is an homage to yours.
Since I am not good at writing poetry, I will ask, in prose, whether you or any of your readers can tell me how Obama explains exposing his two daughters to Wright for the first, respectively, six and ten years of their lives? Obama may understand the “context” of Wright’s anger but how can his children? And what, exactly, is to be gained by having his daughters absorb so much bigotry, ignorance and so many outright lies during their formative years? It would appear that Michelle Obama is in the amen choir of Wright’s church, and that some of her rancor leaked out in her “I’ve never been this proud of America in my entire adult life” tirade. For a candidate who wants, in Richard Nixon’s deathless words, to “bring us together,” Obama might consider starting at home by withdrawing from Trinity United and exposing his daughters—and wife—to a minister who does not fulminate from the pulpit, but rather one who concentrates more on religion than on hatred and loathing of the country in which the church is located.

Some people were asking here where are the Clintons in this Barack brouhaha. The silence has been deafening.

Well here is the answer.

But some of the documents also serve to conceal much more than they reveal. There are redactions ó blacked-out sections ó on more than 4,400 pages, and on many days there is an entry for a “private meeting” that gives no clue as to whom she met or what the meeting was about.

She still not telling people were she was and who she was meeting with during much of her husband presidency.

Remember how the MSM is always saying that Bush has a penchant for secrecy?

What do they call this?

Rather well I might add.

I was funning, belladona. Old habits die hard for us comedy writers.
