Jolly Old Joe Lieberman
(To the tune of “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas”)
Jolly old Joe Lieberman
Moral as can be;
He looks down on everyone,
Reeks of sanctity
Never met a Democrat
That he didn’t scorn;
He sure loves George W.,
Hates free speech and porn.
Jolly old Joe Lieberman
Never went to war;
Happy to send others there
More and more and more.
Had two kids with his first wife
Then he changed his mind
Dumped her ’cause she was Reform
Missed that the first time.
Jolly old Joe Lieberman
Kissed George Bush, alas
Now he spends his days and nights
Kissing Bush’s ass.

A Poison Shrub (with apologies to A.E. Housman)
There is a Leader in the East:
A wholly-owned corporate beast,
Who never saw an eco-crime
He wouldn’t pardon, any time.
His water, it is filtered pure;
His food, untainted, we are sure;
But when it comes to public health,
He hears the siren song of wealth.
Carbon dioxide in the air?
He says the trees have put it there;
Salmonella in school meat,
He laughs to watch the children eat;
He pours arsenic in our cup
And smirks to see us drink it up.
He smirks and pockets tons of cash
to fill the bulging far-Right stash.
-I tell the tale that I heard told.
George W., his heart is cold.

Finale from Protest PG the Rock Opera: O, President Pinocchio — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)
…
O, President Pinocchio, how can all the Oil be gone?
No, President Pinocchio, we won’t be eating Oily prawn.
You even let your own kids play in that toxic Oil,
But if they’d dig in the beach sand, they’d strike Oil before they hit soil.
(4)
O, President Pinocchio, you let banksters write bank law.
Drug companies and Insurance thieves, well, they surely do thank ya.
O, President Pinocchio, the American people are rugged,
But it really gets us down in the dumps when our leaders are so crooked.
(8)
O, President Pinocchio, superstitious worse than Reagan,
You sold the whole world out at Copenhagen.
What you did is gonna scorch the Earth and heat up Africa like a fire.
Iran, Sudan, an’ China spoke sense there, then, our holocaust denier.
(12)
O, President Pinocchio, our climate holocaust denier,
O, President Pinocchio, our chief executive liar:
“Clean coal! Clean nukes!” What’s next! Clean Oil? Clean dirt? Clean poo?!
You sir have betrayed the poor people who voted for you.
(16)
Bribe taker. War monger. Stooge. Shill. Sell-out. Crook. Corporate lackey.
The honored US Military is dressed in baby blood and khaki.
You’d not’ve got a goddam vote if you hadn’t lied,
If you’d told us you want private armies and Pashtun Genocide.
(20)
You don’t need a rocket launcher to fight a little spider,
Or a hundred thousand Americans to fight ten guys from Al-Qaida.
Don’t you know that folks’ll catch on the this ridiculous sham?!
And that corporate corrupt nonsense, your Filibuster scam?!
(24)
Remember: Republicans were in just two years ago, and a majority then took fifty,
So we know you’re lying when you tell us now that a majority takes sixty.
It’s a lie. It’s a theft. It’s corrupt. It’s ridiculous. It’s despicable and downright disgraceful,
And you’re throwing billions at Robert Gates, the Secretary of Wasteful!
(28)
You fired over one thousand people just because they’re gay,
And hey! O, Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?
You betrayed the pot smokers voting for you, and what’s worse:
You betrayed everybody; America has buyer’s remorse.
(32)
Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?
Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?
Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?
Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?
(36)
line footnote
1 On the same day that President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency announced that the BP-Deepwater Horizon-Halliburton Gulf of Mexico Oil spill was gone …
2 … his Food and Drug Administration announced that Gulf of Mexico seafood was safe to eat.
6 Drug companies and Insurance thieves are the middlemen whom all of the healthcare money goes to instead of going to health.
28 Oil investor and US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. The US Military is the world’s leading purchaser of Oil, so the more wars and trouble and waste Gates can cause, the more money he and his fellow investor, Mideast “Peace” Envoy George Mitchell, whose business partner was convicted of Bribery of Azerbaijani officials trying to get their Oil. Gates and Mitchell have Conflicts of Interest: If they didn’t find more war and strife, they’d make less money.
