THE HOPE OF AUDACITY
\n\u201cThere is nothing the voters won\u2019t buy
\nIf the sales pitch is suitably sly:
\nI could easily sell
\nThem all homesteads in Hell
\nIf I just keep repeating the lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

HYPE AND CHANGE
\nIf you want to get people believing,
\nDo not scrimp on the web you are weaving:
\nYou\u2019re more apt to get by
\nWith a really big lie
\nWhen you set out to practice deceiving.
\n(2010)<\/small><\/p>\n

CHANGE AGENT
\n“I’m a master at deceivin’,
\nAt wigglin’, wafflin’, weavin’;
\nAnd when I create
\nA socialist state,
\nYou’ll have change you can believe in.”
\n(2008)<\/small><\/p>\n

OBAMA
\n“You say I’m selling hope
\nAs if it were a soap,
\nBut, by being hip
\nAnd saying zip,
\nI hope to rope a dope.”
\n(2008)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

IMPATIENCE
\nThe election\u2019s just two months away,
\nBut it\u2019s hard to endure the delay:
\nHow we long for a rout
\nAnd the bums all thrown out!
\nHow we wish we were voting today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
