A. Cuomo, Repub in Dem's clothes,
His actions make one hold one's nose,
Has a Wall Street romance,
Tax the Rich? Not a chance!
On De Blasio plays his hose.

His Port Authority's role is rank
Christie used funds like a piggy bank,
The ball Cuomo fumbled
Not one word he mumbled,
And we all have A. Cuomo to thank!

A black President and black "takers",
The nightmare that assails the "makers",
Funds to those of color
Provokes wide white dolor,
Ayn Rand fans, those movers and shakers.

Welfare queens ride in Cadillacs,
The jobless in hammocks relax,
Food stamps buy thick steaks,
Blacks get all the breaks,
The worst word in English is tax!

I don’t want to say the publishers wanted a little less detail in the Tammany Hall book to keep it shorter and sweeter, but despite Mr. Golway’s best efforts to keep it non-scholarly… :)

Tune of LITTLE TIN BOX

“Mr. Golway, I hear you are writing

A new look on Tammany Hall
Though your subject is exciting, it’s too scholarly to sell
We’re convinced that it should not sprawl”

“I agree there’s lots of fodder there for scholars
That the public doesn’t buy acute details
Be assured that as I write I’ll think of dollars
Too much wind would take the wind out of our sales

I’ll do a little thin book, a little thin book
Just the high points, and then the hook
There is nothing to be mistook
I’ll do a little thin book
(Just a little thin, a little thin book)

Just a little thin book, a little thin book
A fast read, either print or Nook
There is nothing so sell-able, I swear this is tell-able
As a little thin book”

Just a little thin book, a little thin book
And the story will really cook
Just a few hundred pages here
Nothing too sage is here
In this little thin book, in this little thin book
:)

This be yourself and sell in brings to mind a possible Gaga Madonna-inspired number - (hold for "Sell-In Dion" puns)

La Isla Dorito (a Gaga cover we’d like to hear)
Tune of La Isla Bonita

Last night I dreamt of con queso
The chips missing from the sauce, I’m at a loss
A young boy who loves Lady Gaga
They gave one more bag to me, more swag to me

(refrain)
Topical as sponsor fees
This is who you ought to please
Grab a bag and pass the cheese - La Isla Dorito
And when we lose our grips
We find the sponsorships
There on the stage and on your hips
And now we’re in the chips

I fell in love to Doritos
I brought my own cheese today, I’m pleased to stay
Un petit - jalapeno
So listen to my charting tip
(Come on, let’s dip)

(Refrain)
Topical ‘cause sales increase
Look who’s backing this release
This is where there’s loads of grease - La Isla Dorito
And when the Q score slips
You’ll find the sponsorships
Their names onstage and on your lips
Your Gaga bag of chips

The idea of down-trickle,
Has results quite fickle,
And methinks that the theory,
Is not very cheery,
For those who see not a nickel.

Internet "privacy" -

Government: security
Business: money
The public: whatever

From my former posts, people can no doubt infer that I am pro-Russian. Now, I will augment the factual arguments, outlined in my prose, with the emotional heft of poetry:

The Crimea was Russian since Catherine the Great
And Americans know no history
The Ukraine is the land of Babi Yar
Do you know the elegy

So many Russian names sound Jewish
I feel they are my brothers
Not stubbed, short American names
But names who know their Fathers

And Mothers and babushkas with misery
She wears a shawl that falls like her tears
As salty as Israel’s Deadest Sea
And she drowns in all the Jeers

Of Europe and the West beset
With dreams of imperial majesty
The progeny of Barbarosa
Bestows not a sliver of amity

To Mr. Kerry , Secretary of Steak

How much does a drone cost?
France' newspaper clearly states
the US sent a drone to Russia
Vladimir had no problem taking it out

To learn what's "going on" look at other
countries news because you won't find
truth with Murdochs news media
England's Parliament threw him out of the UK
kudos, they aren't bought and paid for like ours!

grisly to grimmly
really to reapply

Tom---The Obama talking points fail to tell the whole story.
Obama has made this country weak to our friends and foes.
In Syria, thousands of children have been killed, injured
or uprooted. Those children who survive, will grow up hating
America. Putin has a made of fool of America and Obama.
Yesterday, the National Security Council met for three hours
with the Secretaries of State and Defense along with the CIA
Director--Obama was not in attendance. China, Iran, and
North Korea have received and filed the American message
to them--Do what you want--"What difference does it make?
