RUSSIAN INTO BATTLE
\nOn the day of the duel, he was glad
\nThat he\u2019d chosen the weapon he had:
\nTeleprompter for Barry.
\nAnd his poor adversary?
\nJust a shoulder-fired missile for Vlad.<\/p>\n

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

OBAMA DOCTRINE
\nThere\u2019s no need for a war on terror.
\nJust say no to the c\u2019est-la-guerrer.
\nEverything will be ducky
\nAs long as we\u2019re lucky
\nAnd the terrorist makes an error.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

DIVERSION
\nAs a once sovereign nation, in flames,
\nReveals Vladimir Putin\u2019s dark aims
\nAnd the tanks rolling in
\nSignal empire again,
\nAll the rest of the world watches games.
\n(2008)<\/p>\n

RUSHIN\u2019 TO JUDGMENT
\nDisagreements are sometimes distilled
\nAnd desires of both parties fulfilled;
\nBut, if you\u2019re disputin\u2019
\nWith Vladimir Putin,
\nYou\u2019re liable to get yourself killed.
\n(2006)<\/p>\n

Last week’s limericks<\/em><\/p>\n

IXNAY
\nEvery year when they celebrate Earth,
\nThe green socialists generate mirth,
\nTrying not to betray
\nThe true aim of \u201cEarth Day,\u201d
\nWhich from Pig Latin translates as \u201cdearth.\u201d<\/p>\n

SUFFRAGE
\nNow our enemies freely attack us \u2013
\nPillage, plunder, despoil, and ransack us \u2013
\nBut we once had a voice
\nAnd were offered a choice,
\nWhereupon we cried, \u201cGive us Barackus!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
