<\/p>\nEditor’s Note: Buckled down tight at the farm, being pummeled by the arctic blast from…Texas! We asked for dispensation, but that seems to be external to the situation. Was talking to some of the people huddled down by the Socotra Loading dock next to the barn to show compassion. Some of them think the Justice thing is great but not going far enough. They muttered that it was about time for Irish reparations, to be paid jointly by the Government and the Queen of England. According to the U.S. Census there are about 32 million of us, so I am inclined to agree it is time to get our share. As a responsible Irish-Socotran, though, I responded “No Irish need apply,” and slammed the rusty loading dock door on them. We may open it again when this stuff melts.<\/p>\n

CONgressional Boogie <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Off their rockers, actin’ crazy
\nTakin\u2019 the right medication they won’t be lazy
\nDoin’ the old Congressional boogie
\nDown at the Capitol Hill farm
\nWheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
\nPaired off pacemakers with matchin’ alarms
\nGive them jus’ one more chance
\nTo spin one more trillion-dollar yarn<\/p>\n
And we know that they’re over the hill
\nWhen House minds make promises that the Senate body can’t fulfill
\nDoin’ the old Congressional boogie
\nAnd boogie they will
\n‘Cause to them the thought’s as good as a thrill<\/p>\n
Back at their homes
\nNo time is their own
\nShuttering factories there, they’re all outta loans
\nBanks foreclosing, and voters\u2019 bankruptcies show
\nFolks\u2019 credit plummeting to an all-time low
\nSo we know, that they’re over the hill
\nWhen House minds make promises that the Senate body can’t fulfill<\/p>\n
They try and get a rise from atrophied brain muscles
\nAnd the nerves in their heads just quiver and fizzle
\nSo we know, that they\u2019re over the hill
\nWhen House minds make promises that the Senate body can’t fulfill<\/p>\n
