A Verse
I thought things were getting better when Ashcroft resigned, then I found out his replacement is the guy that wrote the legal opinion defending our use of torture and calling the Geneva Convention "outdated".
How many signatures would it take to get secession on the November 2006 ballot?
Compliments of my friend Barbara:
The 23rd Sigh
Bush is my shepherd; I shall dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war,
I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term,
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.

Most excellent poetry, Barbara. I am sharing this with several people. "We laugh because it's funny, we laugh because it's true."
-Aaron
The attribution to Barbara was only that she passed it along to me. I believe the origin of this piece goes back to the famous web author Anon Ymous
