Your Weekly Politickle: STIMULUS PACKAGE

Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:

STIMULUS PACKAGE
When I have that low-down feeling
And my heart and head are reeling,
To save my day
I’ll sip Earl Grey,
Orange Pekoe, or Darjeeling

From the archive:

ABARACKADABRA
Some magicians do mental spoon-bending
Or assistants in mid-air suspending,
But Barack has a trick
That is even more slick:
He can balance a budget by spending!
(2009)

OBAMANOMICS
They have money to disburse
That they’ve taken from our purse:
Those who made the big mess,
Turning more into less,
Will now solve it by making it worse.
(2009)

Last week’s limerick:

PLEDGE
“I’ll oppose social revolution
And income redistribution,
I will take an ax
To the federal tax
And adhere to our Constitution.”

Getting the Best of Our “Betters”

When they weren’t defamed as racists, Tea Party supporters were described as irrational, enraged, seething, livid. Constituents at town-hall meetings who rejected the superficial Democratic Party talking points and demanded answers instead of political spin were portrayed as mobs on the verge of riot. At the very time that real Muslim terrorists were planning a record number of attacks inside the United States right under their noses, political apparatchiks in the Department of Homeland Security warned ominously of imaginary right-wing violence as the nation’s newest terrorist threat. – Tony Blankley
