Yes, to a Two-State Solution

More so than ever, Palestine
Deserves acceptance as a state.
Its moderates are in decline,
And Gaza’s shambles elevate
The Strip’s Hamas regime from hell.
Whose goal’s the death of Israel.

Unholiest of Wars

I’ve never had much confidence
In second-guessing Israel,
For sure in matters of defense
When neighbors’ hate turns visceral.
Each time they’ve foolishly attacked
They’ve got their Muslim fannies whacked

Underexposed

It’s more than just some juicy poop
About who knew what dirt and when.
It’s why high-ups weren’t in the loop
(Or if in point of fact were then).
The rest of us were surely not.
As campaigns raged, we knew not squat.

Those Few

A memo to admissions deans:
If you recruit a quarterback
Who’s short of smarts as well as means,
Admit, please, vets, home from Iraq
And combat in Afghanistan
With brains, though reeling still from fright,
Yet bound to be all that they can,
Rejoicing when they sleep at night.

Well Worth The Wait

At polls the exclamation point
Was those in line disposed to wait
Though sure the networks would anoint
Barack as winner of their state.
They knew, suppressed, but still enrolled,
Revenge is best when served up cold.

A Newer Deal

As we get set to pull our troops
A decade in Afghanistan
As from Iraq where they’d been dupes
For Bush’s futile battle plan
In search of fancied weaponry,
I offer what might first sound daft
To caustic peaceniks such as me:
Agree to reinstate the draft.

More Is On The Way

Our country’s most horrific storm
Should give the harshest skeptics pause
For thought about when oceans warm
And climatologists have cause
To say almost beyond a doubt
It gave bitch Sandy massive clout.
