Hank Paulson

Hank Paulson was GW Bush's secretary of Treasury.  He has now endorsed Hillary, the crook for 2016. Hmm. If anyone can sniff out money, it'd be Henry Paulson.  Some thought he was one, too.  In 2015 he was supporting Jeb Bush. He was a partner with Al Gore in Cap and Trade because it looked like a good investment and he was on the inside.

I wrote a poem about him in 2008 during the Muslim pirates hostage crisis.

Barney, Nancy, Chris and Hank
threw us hostages in the tank
with bank terrorists taught by Acorn
just like bomber Bernadine Dohrn,
using minorities and the poor
with us as deals on the floor
of the House finance committee,
Oh Lordy, what a pity.

I also wrote a blues song during the October 2008 melt down with Henry in the refrain.

Mitigating factors, oozing out the wazoo,
Sell ‘em or hold ‘em, it’s all a rescue.
I’ve got the low down, trillion dollar
Ben and Henry blues.

Three word Wednesday, post Paris poem

The words to use this week are not difficult to use as looking back to Friday the 13th and the events in Paris:

Enigmatic, adjective: difficult to interpret or understand; mysterious.
Faulty, adjective: working badly or unreliably because of imperfections, (of reasoning and other mental processes) mistaken or misleading because of flaws, having or displaying weaknesses.
Grovel, verb: lie or move abjectly on the ground with one's face downward, act in an obsequious manner in order to obtain someone's forgiveness or favor.

Paris and Beirut, November 2015

We will not grovel
or  submit to your evil
hateful attacks and
beliefs enigmatic
tools in the hands of  leaders’
faulty interpretations.

And speaking of enigmatic and faulty, what a perfect description of our President.  Not only can he not interpret the Quran, he's completely ignorant of what the Bible says.

Reflections on a phrase from Peggy Noonan's The Enraged vs. The Exhausted

"This "will be remembered as the year the American people said no" to the status quo. The people "do not trust" those who make the decisions far away. They want to restore balance." Peggy Noonan

Let this be remembered
As the year
Americans said, NO
To the status quo.

Let this be remembered
As the year
Americans with tea,
Said Don’t tax me.

Let this be remembered
As the year
Americans tossed RINOs
And Pelosi DINOs.

Let this be remembered
As the year
To media mainstream
“Stop stealing our dream.”

This will be the year
Americans will vote
And remember
This coming November.

How are these pirates different

than our Congress which has been holding the US taxpayer hostage through their own failures to control their out of control GSEs and profligate spending? Muslim pirates have held 26 vessels and 537 crew members hostage for $18.30 million. Pikers! They need a green card to the beltway to learn from the experts like Barney, Nancy, Chris and Hank. Oh--I feel a poem coming on.

At the Rusty Bucket, our date spot, last night

Christmas is coming
now go out and spend
don't your nose be a thumbing
Jingle Bell's around the bend.

Your neighborhood retailer
needs your help right now;
save after Hank the bailer
makes you say oh wow.

Take your sweety to dinner
buy a book or a ring;
we'll all be the winner
when cash registers sing.

Wardrobe expenses for Obama

How much for that empty suit?
Or that camouflaged uniform?
The emperor's new clothes?
The magic boots to be invincible?
The glass slipper that doesn't fit?
The flag pin.
Put away the calculator.
You can never count the costs.
