Ehavoc's Solipsistic Universe

AARP v. Bush

With the AARP coming out against it

Will social security reform be DOA?

Not gambling with their retirement

Is what they are going to have to say

Not braving Wall Street's rise and plummet

In congress they just might win the day

And with tax reform also seemingly stuck

Is it to early to call Mr. Bush a lame duck?

Mr. Bush’s Rose Colored Glasses

Are we all living in the same nation?

Some times it makes me start to wonder

With the White House’s rosy fixation

Only with happy news, the truth blown under

For truly the bright coloring of the situation

Sometimes makes me want to chunder

With a war going on, is it okay to cut taxes?

While the number of combat deaths waxes

A Holiday Wish

This is just a holiday wish for you

Whichever holiday you choose

That the joy you find will be true

And its bad feelings that you loose

Enjoy these few days so you to

Can put away those miserable blues

A happy holiday and prosperous new year

And joy to you all and those you hold dear

What Now For The Democrats

How heavy is the influence of value voters?

The Democrats ask, getting all up in a tizzy

Change your policies say the promoters

Of a more conservative sounding policy

Forget the ideas of your progressive supporters

With mimicking the Republicans go and get busy

They tried that once and it didn’t work to

Remember how they flailed in 2002

Rough Times In The Pill Business

In their never ending quest for profit

The pill companies are all but unrivaled

From the TV commercials for every product

To the unfavorable results that are stifled

With the FDA and NIH in their pocket

And politicians with contributions gulled

But, do they have rough times in store

As subject of documentarian Michael Moore?

Mr. Bush Refuses

The president says there's no way

That he will be negotiating with himself

Avoiding the words that will betray

His policy goals are hidden in stealth

With the vague language he will say

Nothing that will affect his issue’s health

Wisely not to negotiate with himself, he does choose

With his verbal skills, he'd probably loose

...The More Things Stay The Same

In the world of the Washington political dance

Around and around goes the revolving door

The lawmakers who pass out pork have a chance

For a big payout when they leave the floor

So when drug company profits he did enhance

Mr. Tauzin got a plum job as his just reward

"Same as it ever was", you might heard said

Legislation can be yours, if you got money to spread

Economic Summit

All the wiremen gathered for the summit

Each hoping their words would impress the prez

All basking in his attention, they all did covet

Echoing each and every word that he says

Not a one of the delegates was at all above it

No matter what kind of nonsense that he spreads

With personal accounts and tax cuts never ending

The blind leading the blind, deeper into deficit spending

The More Things Change...

With the Republicans ready to go nuclear

And the Democrats watching like hawks

One thing seems like it is all too clear

That the new bipartisanship is up on blocks

That this is the way things would steer

Each side ready to clean the other's clocks

Shouldn't really come as much of a surprise

Partisan fights, a hard-fought election supplies

Deception And Warfare

Of warfare, deception is an integral part

Or so Sun Tzu's Art of War does say

Confusing your opponent is at the heart

Of any strategy toward winning the day

But should the deception that you impart

Just be on the battlefield, or go all the way?

For when the public you start to misinform

Support of the war effort will only be lukewarm
