Spain to Exhume Former Spanish Dictator Franco -- Palestine --



Spain’s center-left government said on Friday that the remains of former dictator Francisco Franco will be exhumed in coming months from the grandiose public mausoleum he commissioned . . .   WSJ

The bones of a tyrant don't rest
for long till there's someone to wrest
them from smug display
and throw them away
as unwanted relics unblessed.

The Trump administration has permanently cut more than $200 million in aid for the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza, saying the appropriated funds — already frozen for much of this year — will be “redirected” elsewhere.  WaPo

The White House is getting so cheap,
twould make Ebenezer Scrooge weep.
And now Palestine
has lost its lifeline --
The PLO has no upkeep!
