The Wage Freeze

He came home with a heavy heart – a bureaucrat and dad;

And said unto his little brood "The news is very bad."

"Obama froze my wage today, so we must sacrifice;"

"Mother, serve the caviar but don't put it on ice."

"Junior, I'm afraid that Harvard won't be taking you – "

"you'll have to be a man and so with Princeton you'll make do."

"Sally, you must get a job, or husband – do it now."

"Per annum do not settle for much less than 80 – thou."

"And little Tommy, I'm afraid your tree house in the back"

"is now a rental unit, since we face a daunting lack."

"The upstairs maid must go back to her home in Mexico."

"The cook had better learn her own oregano to grow."

The little fam'ly huddled in the wake of this disaster,

Stalwart and determined, though their hearts beat somewhat faster.

The father took a second job, consulting for a fee –

It barely covered payments on their brand-new SUV.

Like pioneers they'll struggle with the challenges they've met –

Then retire on a pension that's half the National Debt.

What People Are Tweeting Today

TweetDeck, under "Obama".  Unedited & Uncensored.

 

@P0litics soros backs obama obama backs unions they are united to destroy AMERICA soros openly stated that he want to collapse AMERICA

 

I wonder where the person who elbowed Obama is now? Lol

 

OBAMA TOOK MAH MONEY!!!!

 

I saw previews for the new yogi bear movie and it dawned on me, barac obama sounds alot like yogi when he talks.

 

Sarah Palin says the government's inability to stop the WikiLeaks is Barack Obama's fault... and I agree with her.

 

Impending diplomatic fallout re: WikiLeaks -- I hear that the Obama administration is desperately looking for that big red RESET button.

 

Sky-high unemployment. Cities on the brink of bankruptcy. And the Obama admin is worried about street signs?

 

remembers when Reagan was president and Bob Hope and Johnny Cash were still around. Now we have Obama, no hope, and no cash.

 

Even though the media are realizing that the presidency is too big for Obama, not once have they suggested the gov't has too much power.

 

#Urchurchmaybeacult if your CULT LEADER has more SECURITY that PRESIDENT OBAMA!

 

Thanks obama for making harder for my family for the next two years to help with the u.s. budget shortfalls

 

Mark my words, the way Obama is doing things he wont get re-elected. We will have a Republican in office.

Bingo

Instead of wasting money on some pasteboard happenstance

Why not make the bingo fiends step to a diff'rent dance?

In drafty halls we'll stick 'em with our sick returning vets,

So they can shrewdly ogle them and then start placing bets

On which ones will go crazy or commit quick suicide,

Or wind up homeless, begging for a quarter right outside.

Or maybe bingo ladies should be put in legislatures,

Where they can appreciate the predatory natures

Of elected fat cats, and then bet which ones will first

Be indicted, go to jail, and then be reimbursed

For their many troubles with the profits from a tome

Of turgid prose that will belong in ev'ry godly home.

Oh hell, let's just put Bingonauts up for the next election

And let the public make the finalized selection.

I'd rather have the government play bingo like big saps

Than continue with the current game of loaded craps.

O Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree –

Are you made of PVC?

Are your branches merely tin,

Taken from a tool shed bin?

Oh Christmas pine, oh Christmas pine –

you do not smell of turpentine.

You'll last a lifetime I do trust,

Although you may begin to rust.

Oh Christmas spruce, oh Christmas spruce –

I hope your nuts and bolts aren't loose.

If I should mulch you some sad day,

I'd have to call the EPA.

Oh Christmas fir, oh Christmas fir –

"In China Made", your signature.

It's guilt that makes us buy these things,

Surrounded by grim carbon rings.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree –

I'd rather some proud Hindu be!

I would not have this holiday,

nor give neckties and bucks away.

Oh Tannenbaum, Oh Tannenbaum –

You're giving me a sudden qualm.
