11-9
\nIf I live long enough, I may see
\nEvery nation on earth truly free,
\nEvery tyranny tackled,
\nEvery subject unshackled —
\nWhat a glorious day that would be!<\/p>\n

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

REVOLTING DEVELOPMENT
\nRevolution\u2019s a natural desire
\nWhen we lack what our natures require,
\nBut it loses its glow
\nWhen oppressed people go
\nFrom the frying pan into the fire.
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

HAPPENING
\nOur Republic he will rearrange
\nAnd the rights of the people estrange:
\nYes, it can happen here
\nAnd it\u2019s now all too clear
\nWhat Obama intended by \u201cchange.\u201d
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

WORLD FREEDOM
\nIf freedom can come to Romanians,
\nAlbanians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians,
\nWhy must others abide
\nWhile their freedom\u2019s denied:
\nBrother Syrians, Saudis, Iranians?
\n(2006)<\/p>\n

GOODBYE, BAD MEN
\nThe future\u2019s decidedly grim
\nFor Fidel, for Saddam, and for Kim,
\nBecause sooner or later
\nEach demonic dictator
\nMust get what is coming to him.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

HOLLOW WEENIE
\n\u201cI may act like Elmer Fudd
\nAnd appear to be a dud,
\nBut I\u2019m truly spectacular,
\nThe awesome Count Barackula,
\nAnd I want to suck your blood.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
