Headlines & Verse. Thursday. July 6. 2017.

TRUMP TURNS BACK ON EUROPE, SO CHINA SNEAKS IN TO SAY "HELLO DERE!"  


The vacuum that Trump has conceived
Has left Europeans quite peeved.
To fill in the gap
A byzantine chap

Named Xi is politely received.



STATE LEGISLATURES INCREASING RESTRICT GRASS ROOTS DEMOCRACY IN LARGER CITIES

The cities that overstep bounds
Make state bureaucrats cry out “Zounds!”
A liberal town
Produces a frown --

So lawmakers send out the hounds.




VENEZUELA FILMS NEW THREE STOOGES FILM DURING 
PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE 

They say down in humid Caracas
“Those bastardos just want to mock us!”
To congress they go
To quietly show

“What happens when you try to fock us!”

COMMENT:  from Karla Zabludovsky, reporter at BuzzFeed --  "Excuse me?"




 OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS NEEDS A NEW BOSS: THE OLD ONE JUST QUIT BEFORE THE VERY IDEA OF ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT IS BRANDED 'UNPATRIOTIC'

When ethics and D.C. collide
There’s little enough left, outside
Of circling dust
And scruples of rust,

That settle upon the wayside
