F--- This S---!

The U.S. f---ing Supreme Court
Upheld a ban on words like s---
If broadcast even once. In short,
George Carlin’s list stays illeg--.

Dense Fog over Lower Manhattan

Dumb and dumber doesn’t say it.
Dumbest, neither, does it justice.
Air Force One, knows any dimwit,
Has agendas plain as Kansas.

Why, then, keep New Yorkers clueless
As to why this massive airplane
Would, like those that overwhelmed us,
Buzz Manhattan? Who’s the lamebrain?

What Goes Around

Torture stinks in every state.
To stop it, detainees relate
A falsehood questioners don’t know,
Then pause to find out if it’s so.

And if they can’t, they’ve later found
The information got, unsound.
And so they did more harm than good
With bad intent misunderstood.

Bo's Mojo

Saccharine though the news bits are,
Overblown week after week,
Bo the White House dog is our
Icon more ideal than chic.

From Rocks to Nukes

“What, us worry?” Pakistanis
Counter fears of well-kicked fannies
Since the Taliban took over
Territories with a fervor.
Self-delusion all the while
By a country in denial.

Is Cold Fusion Getting Hot?

For decades deemed by scientists as junk
Cold fusion’s once more in the mainstream news.
On Sixty Minutes, rather than debunk,
Some scientists gave optimistic views
Of what could be the world’s most crucial find,
Which might be needed to maintain mankind.

Oink

This year’s Pig Book just made public,
Not delicious, more dyspeptic,
Full of chump chops aptly labeled,
Projects Congress should have tabled.
Earmarks keeping mum their authors
Given what the content offers.

How Does He Get Away with It?

Tragic are the North Koreans,
Living lives of hopeless peons,
Decade after decade whilst
Kim Jong Il, the very vilest
Whack-job if there ever was one,
Sinks them into deprivation.

What About the Gifts and Renovations?

No question that the prosecutors kept
The senator’s attorney in the dark
Regarding what their witness told, except,
Alone, the feds’ misdoings miss the mark
When trying to figure out what’s more to blame:
Omission’s sin or rank corruption’s shame.

It's About Time

Awful though he might have been,
Jailing dissidents for years,
Executing some as in
China, stoking people’s fears,
Fidel Castro, nonetheless,
Did he match Beijing’s excess?
