With corruption enough to appall,
The sheriff's not flustered at all.
Which proves that this guy
Can tell the big lie;
And the bigger, the harder McFaul.
A little local news today and a bone to the opposition. I've never been a big fan of Gerald McFaul, a former pipe fitter who has managed to lock up the office of Cuyahoga County Sheriff for over 30 years through old fashioned political clout and plenty of under the table dealings. He's the longest tenured on a list of shady sheriffs in this county and I hope his resignation marks a new era of responsible and respectable law enforcement in the area. But I aint holdin' my breath!
State agents raid McFaul's office, seize records

Hawk like an Egyptian?
Speaking of "bail-outs," look who's out on bail.
His investors aren't feeling so sunny
To discover the tar in the honey.
The deals of their dreams
Were mere pyramid schemes
Where the dealer Madoff with the money!
[N.B. The unfortunate fact is that you or I may be one of his unwitting investors by proxy!]

Word of the Year 2008: "Bailout"
So "bail-out" was Word of the Year?
As a verb, we expected to hear
It used one of the times
When, for myriad crimes,
Those crooks went to court to appear!
Oh yeah. That didn't happen, did it?

Paradise lost; regained; lost?
That Paris returned to her Hilton
May not merit an epic by Milton,
But limericks are easy;
And justice, this cheesy,
Rates a stink even worse than a Stilton!
It's sprung time for Hilton
After her early exit from jail,
an angry judge calls her back to court today.

We don't need no steenkin' veto!

Sent from Capitol Hill,
Mr. Bush has been crossing his fingers!

May cause some dysfunction
But think of the thumbs they'll be saving!
BlackBerry blackout could be costly

Cheney of fools
If Dick Cheney were only astuter
He'd have steered clear of using that Scooter.
They are said to cause falls
That can injure one's balls
And might end up by leaving you neuter.

The bittersweet truth
"Stupid is as stupid does" - F. G.
'Til Roberts becomes the Chief Ump,
His answers are likely to stump.
'Nless we bite, you can bet
We won't know what we get.
He's choc'lates and we're Forrest Gump.
