drill baby drill !

Post by mnaz » March 22nd, 2012, 5:44 pm

four years and four score wars on
ten bailouts and a black sludge gulf later
a thousand liberals in lockstep with the takeover
power-suited lackeys sucking at the corpo- teat
shrill ravings of palin, maccain and attila
still-a-rattlin, drill baby drill!

the LEFT shall not win this campaign
damn tree-huggin' granola-huffin' freaks
forgot his flag lapel pin, damn foreigner
go god, guts and guns, drill baby drill!
and still the shrill words rung and stung
four years on, drill baby drill!

oh lord how they drilled, and scammed oil futures
and exxon-mobil made its quarterly 40 billion
and still we pay four and a half clams
for a lousy gallon of go juice

Good satiric poem. "go juice"----but when you are stuck in traffic & wasting gas it is "sputter juice".

thx, mr. irish. just goes to show what a clown show these campaigns for "high" office are. divide the "left" and "right," and steal from both.

btw, sometimes i also call coffee "go juice" ....
