From the Wall Street Journal. Thursday March 15 2018.



WASHINGTON—The Trump administration on Thursday issued for the first
time sanctions against Russia for meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential
elections and for cyberattacks, targeting the Kremlin’s intelligence
agencies and individuals indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller
for their role in election interference.
The Kremlin has found its long nose
No longer smells of the sweet rose.
Its meddling way
Now makes Moscow pay,
And puts the snot back on their clothes.


The eye-roller, Liang Xiangyi, a television reporter for Shanghai-based
Yicai Media Group, emerged as a kind of folk hero for those tired of the
turgid pageantry.
If you want the Pulitzer Prize
Just grimace and roll your blue eyes;
It’ll go viral,
You’ll ski in the Tyrol,
And soon have your own big franchise.


The country needs to spend $655 billion over the next 20 years to upgrade
water and sewer systems, the EPA estimates. Around 240,000 water mains
break a year, contributing to $2.6 billion in lost drinking water, according
to the agency.
When I turn on the kitchen tap
I get some brown and soupy crap.
Yet ev’ry month my water bill
Is ever going way uphill.
I’m living in a Third World state,
But paying at a First World rate!




Japan’s strawberry exports totaled just under
$17 million last year, while South Korean
exports reached $44 million, according to
government figures in each country. South
Korea more than tripled exports between
2000 and 2014, mainly to other Asian nations
where Japan was once the dominant supplier.
Japan ain’t a strawberry place.
But they won’t admit they’ve lost face.
It will not make sake;
It comes out too chalky.
In sushi it’s just a disgrace.





Shares of the Snapchat parent dropped 3.6%
 to close at $17.20 after the singer slammed 
the app for approving an advertisement that 
appeared to joke about domestic violence.

When celebs have got a grudge
They are jury, law, and judge.
There is no appeal at all
When for boycott they do call.
So if I were Snapchat’s heir,

I would find work cutting hair.
