Your Liberal Media at Work

'Law breaking through torture and murder's okay,
If you've a good reason,' does Dick Cheney say.
Chris Wallace plays nice
With President o' Vice.
So much sucking off, even sickens this gay.

Laying Kennedy to Rest

A wake and a funeral, Camelot fit;
Republican words of his loyalty, grit.
Now that Ted is passed,
Is broke the sail's mast:
The Democrat Senate boat's something adrift.

Ted Kennedy, R.I.P.

A congressman, drunk driver, scorn of the right;
Ted Kennedy, all these, has lost th' cancer fight.
What more does one say?
At th' end of the day,
The Senator lion is sleeping tonight.

The CIA Torture Program

There's mock executions, rape/power-drill threats,
Beatings with a flashlight, extreme cold duress.
If these you applaud,
Then please go abroad:
Subject yourself to this, say then it's the best.

Inglourious Basterds Review

There's less than expected o' Kill Bill-style splatter,
More of Tarantino's old plot-driving chatter.
A Jewish revenge
Tale somewhat unhinged,
Inglourious Basterds should quell many natt'rers.

Democrats Seem Set to Go it Alone on Health Bill

For weeks of Republicans spreading false fears
The Dems have called off their negotiatiers.
It's difficult when
Your 'bipartisan'
Means goring your rival with both of the spears.

Public Plan in Danger

The White House must think that it's fighting with fire:
As flame against flame use they ly'ng against liars.
Not by lies topping,
But public plan dropping.
They lie themselves down to be run o'er by tires.

Words Matter.

Terri Schiavo was let go for lack of a will.
Now end-of-life counseling's also been killed.
Th' provision died
By death panel lies
Of Palin, whose brain-deadness Schiavo equaled.

Torture, Inc.

Those torture techniques we got from the Chinese?
We bought from SERE trainers with scant expertise.
Psychologists, they,
Spellbound by their pay,
Could not hear the twirling of Hippocrates.

The last time the GOP got involved...

Wall Street Bonus Pay Returns

A year scarcely passed since Wall Street went to Heck,
The banks again offer absurd bonus checks.
"Ensuring such pay
Brings good help," they say.
It isn't enough that we don't ring their necks.

On Health Care Reform Lies

"Barack killed his grandma, and now he'll get yours!"
"My Medicare, fed'ral: 'twas never, before!
"The government big
Will take my poor Trig!"
What need do we have for satire anymore?

Senate Confirms Sotomayor

Sixty-Eight-Thirty-One, Sotomayor confirmed,
The first SCOTUS judge that's Latina and learned.
GOP opposition
Did stir racial friction;
They may in Hispanic votes end up be'ng burned.

Barack Obama's Birtherday

The Birthers, by the birthplace issue gripped,
Have yet to get onto a BIRTHDAY trip:
On August Four,
Not o' woman born--
Barack was from his mother's womb untimely ripped!*

*Not really.

100 Tried in Iran

Tehran's credibility gap is quite big.
For justice, some think, they don't give a fig.
How t' deal with this censure?
Why, round up th' dissenters,
And give them a trial! So what if it's rigged?
