NEW DEPARTS
\nWhen I travel by air now and then,
\nThe security staff wave me in:
\nI don\u2019t have to be scoped
\nOr publicly groped,
\nI just hand them a lewd 8×10.<\/p>\n

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

TAKEOFF
\n\u201cWith security lapses reviewed
\nOn Flight 253, we conclude:
\nDue to differing beliefs
\nAbout bombs in one\u2019s briefs,
\nEvery passenger now must fly nude.\u201d
\n(2010)<\/small><\/p>\n

WELCOME TO AMERICA
\n\u201cYou illegally crossed our border?
\nYou\u2019re a drugs and weapons importer?
\nYou\u2019re a sociopath
\nSpewing venomous wrath?
\nYes, everything seems in order.\u201d
\n(2002)<\/small><\/p>\n

ZERO TOLERANCE
\nWhen the stewardess gave it a tug,
\nI complained that my seatbelt was \u201csnug.\u201d
\nShe said I\u2019d regret
\nThat insidious threat:
\n\u201cBackwards, \u2018snug\u2019 spells \u2018guns,\u2019 you lug!\u201d
\n(2002)<\/small><\/p>\n

PROFILES IN CARNAGE
\nMulticulturalism assails
\nCommon sense until it fails:
\nScreeners x-ray granny
\nAnd pat down the nanny,
\nBut ignore young Arab males.
\n(2002)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

POSTMORTEM
\n\u201cThe election was pure devastation
\nAnd necessitates recalculation:
\nAll my programs got panned
\n\u2018Cause folks don\u2019t understand
\nHow I\u2019m trying to transform the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
