* More than half of the residents of New Orleans were not permanently displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

* More than half of Americans who don't have health insurance probably won't get sick today.
* More than half of college graduates won't have to declare bankruptcy immediately because of their student loan debt.
* More than half of oil company executives can still afford to fill their cars' gas tanks

fillip,

If this stuff were not so terribly sad it might be funny. Bad news piles up on bad news these days while "smiling George" does his photo-ops.

Peace. Jerry

You have to laugh, I think. That's why I make my drawings. Have you tried your hand at writing any funny songs about W?

fillip,

I have not given that a thought, but maybe now is the time. I have done poetry in the same vein in the past. Maybe a song would be even better. Hmmmmm.....

Nothing is more effective than a funny, yet pointed song.

Or just a pointed song. My favorite will always, I think, be "this land is your land, this land is my land..."

fillip,

That is a wonderful song. I was humming and putting in words to a song this morning. Maybe one will come along in time. We have many great tunes with regular meter that should work. And "Smiling George" may be the title.
