HEADLINES & VERSE. Saturday. August 5. 2017

SEC ACCUSES RETIREMENT FUND MANAGERS OF FRAUD


A pension plan broker was heard
To grumble twas really absurd
To think it a fraud
If their schemes could prod

all fees to soar up like a bird.


CHINA CONTINUES TO DISCONNECT FROM THE REST OF THE INTERNET WORLD

A young man in Beijing found out
That censors have way too much clout
In saying ‘amen’
To his VPN --
The Great Firewall remains stout.


SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER OF TENNESSEE CONTINUES TO FLIP FLOP ON HEALTHCARE BILL

The Senator from Tennessee a mighty flip flop did --
From black to white on healthcare he has changed his solid bid.

Where once he worked to see Obamacare was dead and gone,
He’s working now to save it with his savvy and his brawn.

He’ll shake hands with a Democrat, if that will help his cause.
He’ll chuckle with the lobbyists just like old Santa Clause.

The Senator from Tennessee, whose first name is Lamar,
Seeks bipartisan support from near and very far.

As the cliche has it, if you cannot beat the foe,
You might as well join with them, just for luck (and maybe show.)


BURGERS AND FRIES FOR THE PRESIDENT -- AND CONTINUING LOW WAGES FOR FRANCHISE WORKERS


While having a burger and fries
The President thinks it is wise
To keep wages low
So no one will grow
Too uppity for their franchise.



PUTIN VACATIONS IN THE HALF-BUFF -- BUT HE'S ALL BLUFF

When Putin takes off for a rest
He likes to be seen with bare chest.
Fishing or hiking,
His torso is striking --

He looks like he needs more bed rest.
