U.S. Pulls Out 1,500 Troops

by Tony Peyser

That's, as they say, The Good News
The Bad News may take you aback:
Those soldiers are leaving Kuwait
Because they're needed more in Iraq.

Frist Claims That Protecting The Flag Isn't Pandering

by Tony Peyser

If you were to take a close gander
The main politicians who pander

Are those who cry, "I never do!"
To try and confuse me and you.

They point fingers while meandering
About their rivals alleged pandering

And then content with having slandered
Act like they've set some moral standard.

But in election years
Their direction veers

And however they try to look grand and grander
Guys like Frist can't resist a chance to pander.
