Congratulations Mr. Speaker

With Pope Francis' audience, and all his sins absolved,

Plus his resignation, Speaker Boehner's problem's solved.

Good for him...  I worried when his nerves began to fray.

Now, perhaps, he'll dry his eyes and wipe his tears away.

GOP is self-destructing. Who would want his job:

Trying to pass legislation with an angry mob,

Catering to bigots - because they're the ones who vote?

His relief caused Boehner to start singing, and I quote;

"Oh, zip a dee doo dah...  What a wonderful day."

Judging by his jaunty step, I think he'll be okay.

Now that it's the far right-wing who will control the Floor,

It's the rest of us whom I've begun to worry for.

Unsolicited Advice for Hillary 2016

Were I Mrs. Clinton, you could not pay me to run,

Even were I certain that I'd be the chosen one.

Tea Party Republicans and other Right Wing nuts

Have already made it clear how much they hate her guts.

Even now, before she's thrown her hat into the ring,

Limbaugh's claiming she arranged to have some loony fling

(At a speech) a shoe that almost hit Hil in the face...

Snidely adding Chelsea's child's a ploy to win the race.

Look at poor Obama, who's been hounded by the Right;

You would have to be insane to want that kind of fight.

If you think he's had it bad however, wait and see

What would happen if the President were Hillary.

Race for the White House - 50 Shades of Rape?

"Forcible"?  "Legitimate"?  The 50 shades of rape?

I would not believe it if I hadn't seen the tape.

I am still incredulous that Akin's staying in;

That he's only 10 points back and has a chance to win.

In the current day and age I thought this battle won,

But that's not the platform the Republicans will run.

Christian Right is organized this time and running hard.

Women voters need to stay aware and be on guard.

Rights to our own bodies that they plan to take away.

They'd deny us birth control...  Viagra?  Then they'll pay.

And, should we get pregnant during rape that's not legit,

Once the child is born, Republicans don't give a  ....  ahem - spit.

Then you're just a welfare mom and you are on your own.

"Sorry sweetie. Out of luck.  Our deficit has grown

After all the subsidies and tax breaks for the rich.

Surely you can understand and not be such a ...  uhh - witch."

Maybe I should wrap this up...  I feel the need to swear.

As I go, I saw a video I thought I'd share.

This girl is terrific and she has a lovely voice.

Have a happy weekend and, remember - Vote for Choice.
