Blogger Going Down...

Most likely just for a few hours but it's a good idea to have something posted before.

Here is a silly poem BG sent me by e-mail:


Overheard from Congressman Seuss


That Abramoff!

That Abramoff!

I do not like that Abramoff!



"Would you like to play some golf?"



I do not want to play some golf.

I do not want to, Abramoff.



"We could fly you there for free.

Off to Scotland, by the sea."



I do not want to fly for free.

I don't like Scotland by the sea.

I do not want to play some golf.

I do not want to, Abramoff.



"Would you, could you, take this bribe?

Could you, would you, for the tribe?"



I would not, could not, take this bribe.

I could not, would not, for the tribe.



"If we strong-armed corporations

Into giving you donations?

They'd be funneled to your PAC.

Would you then cut us some slack?"



I would not, could not, cut you slack.

I do not care about my PAC.

I do not want to play some golf.

I do not want to, Abramoff.



"A plane! A plane! A plane! A plane!

Would you, could you, for a plane?"



I could not, would not, for a plane.

Not for a bribe, not for the tribe.

Not for donations from corporations.

Not for my PAC, not for some slack.

Not from any schmoe named Jack.



"Would you help us buy some ships

Perfect for quick gambling trips?

Talk to people in the know

For a little quid pro quo?

Oh come now, don't be a snob.

Let us give your wife a job."



I will not help you buy some ships.

I do not wish for gambling trips.

My wife does not need a job

Even if she is a snob.

We do not like bribes, can't you see?

Why won't you just let me be?



"You do not like bribes, so you say.

Try them, try them, and you may.

Try them and you may, I say."



Jack. If you will let me be

I will try them, then you'll see.



Say.... I do like playing golf!

I like it, I do, Abramoff!

I do like Scotland by the sea.

It's such a thrilling place to be!

And I will take this bribe.

And I will help the tribe.

And I will take donations

From big corporations.

And I will help you buy some ships.

And I will take quick gambling trips.

Say, I'll give anyone the shaft

As long as it involves some graft!



I do so like playing golf!

Thank you! Thank you,

Abramoff!
