http://journals.democraticunderground.com/izzybeans/44 No one gave a rip. Most were just interested in advertising their fear of the fictional angry black man at the team. I became disillusioned not too long after that.

There once was a candidate named Hillary, Who voted to send in artillery, Despite her neocon prayer group, The SuperDels dumped her like dog poop, Now she hangs at the Crown Royale Distillery.

I’ve found a young floozy … Her bankroll’s a doozy Though she's not really sharp like a knife." To his first wife McCain said, “Now Honey … You know I must marry Cindy’s money. For a seat in the House I’ll make the youngster my spouse. Like your crutches, I know that's so funny."
