In The News-John Edwards (Redux)

John Edwards (Redux)

You who ran for President

did more than merely fail,

foul play lost you the White House…

now that soiree bodes jail.

The News-John Edwards...et al

John Edwards…et al

Politicos ask  we support

their bid to represent,

then take our dough…and don’t you know…

their private stash augment.

So when they stick their handout,

best give them not a mote.

Make them prove they’re principled

to even get your vote.

Current Events-Earth Day

The Desert

The desert is an arid waste,

Life’s liquid’s but a precious taste.

Yet foolish Man builds there unchecked

expecting Nature to keep pace.

Current Events-GSA Party

GSA Party

(Jeff Neely)

We call your act malfeasance…

you broke the public trust.

You used taxpayer money

for booze and dance and lust.

If those that you employ

need games to stimulate,

there is an unemployment line

where masses pine and wait.

To me, I see the penalty

as pay back every dime.

Hammurabi said that is

the sentence for such crime.

A leader must be ethical,

you’re obviously suspect.

To me you are no better

than those that we elect.

Current Events- AZ Sweat Lodge Deaths

James Arthur Ray

His Sweat Lodge killed three people.

His peers sent him to jail…

not to make more money…

not defraud more old or frail.

The judge sent him to pay his dues…

to most for damn few days.

We never asked to let him find

more cons with which to graze.

Justice may be blind, but we

can see how much She asks repaid…

so let us roar, “The judge and She

have earned a failing grade.”

Current Events-Identity Theft

Identity Theft

They are the lowest of the low,

those who steal another’s name.

They revel in the afterglow,

uncaring that their acts oft maim.

They use their wit, but not one whit

for that which earns knighthood.

They use their grit but to outwit

all others in their hood.

They claim their crime’s white-collar

and penance should be light.

But, there’s no crime that’s fouler…

treat them like a parasite.

Current Events-Kim's Rocket

Let’s hope all rockets Kim releases

end up too as useless pieces.

Let all waste fall in yellow sea

and be no threat to you or me.

It’s time Kim fed the hungry throng…

not beat his chest…pretend he’s strong.

We offered him our food as aid.

He responds with broken blade.
