Happy Limerick Day

Today is National Limerick Day.  This is the day we celebrates the birthday of Writer Edward Lear (1812-1888), and of course Limerick poems. Limericks were popularized by Lear in 1846 in his Book of Nonsense. 
So I thought I would bring you a few modern day Limericks.  Feel free to contribute your own, but please NO “There was a man from Nantucket.”

 The Governor of Texas is a man named Perry.
He thinks school children should be able to carry,
Not just books, but guns and ammo,
So they can walk around acting like Rambo.
Personally I think this is really scary.

Al Qaeda’s mass murder Osama,
Got a message from President Obama.
It was two bullets to the head
From Navy Seals who also said,
“By the way, screw your mama.”

There was a man from Georgia named Newt,
Whose wife number three is really cute.
He says he discovered Jesus and is born again,
And has been forgiven of his many sins.
Even for a politician, that is a  real beaut.

Arnold and Maria are separated after 25 years.
She was Champaign, but he was beers.
She smiled and said, “Hit the road, Jack,”
While he mumbled, “I’ll be back.”
It was all low key, practically no tears.

Poor Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
She constantly screws up facts and then some.
Mostly she gives history a re-mix.
Thinks the Civil War was fought in 1776.
The fact is, she’s just plain dumb.

The Tea Party is so very upset,
About the looming National debt.
They watched Bush spend year after year,
Not saying a word or shedding a tear.
They may be the biggest hypocrites yet.

Toke And Poke

Medical marijuana is now a $1.7 billion market, according to a report released Wednesday by See Change Strategy, an independent financial analysis firm that specializes in new and unique markets.  Compare that with Viagra, which is a $1.9 billion business.  I think that makes for way more “Stoners with Boners” than I ever imagined. .

And Now For Today’s Politics

Seeing the latest figures from the census showing the explosion of the Latin population in the United States, the GOP might think about learning Spanish rather than building a wall.

The former House speaker Nitwit Gingrich was quick to criticize President Barack Obama two weeks ago for not being more forceful in leading an international campaign to destroy Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's.  Gingrich said the United States should tell Gadhafi "that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we're intervening."    On Wednesday, Nitwit did an about-face and said, "I would not have intervened." .  …. Wow…Mr. Decisive.  And this bonehead wants to be President?

Speaking of folks who want to be President.  Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) says she has not made a decision yet on whether she will run for president. This will certainly make the 2012 election interesting if Mrs. Bachmann and Mrs. Palin both decide to run.   They would split the idiot vote. Both of these ladies have a screw loose.  Obviously it’s the screw that keeps their mouth shut.

General Electric, the nation’s largest corporation, reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the United States.  So how much do they owe the IRS? .….ZERO, NADA, ZILCH… In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.  Even as the government faces a mounting budget deficit, the GOP talk in Washington is about lower tax rates.  WAKE UP FOLKS… lower taxes for the corporate world, not for us common folks.
