Dear Mr. Cheney et al. - You're Kidding, Right?

Former Vice President Dick Cheney

ISIS is establishing a modern Caliphate

Based upon fanaticism...  Isn't that just great.

Thank you Bush and Cheney; you guys kicked the hornets' nest,

Certain that America was right and knew what's best.

Ever since, the region has been going up in flames.

Now Dick Cheney's claiming it's Obama who he blames.

It was not Obama who invaded on a whim;

I cannot believe the gall of Cheney blaming him.

This war has been brewing for a century, or more.

It's about religious sects and settling a score.

Once dictators fell, removing pressure from the lid,

Experts warned some countries might explode - and so they did.

All the blood and treasure spent on playing global cop

Didn't make this process one the U.S.A. could stop...

But, to say Obama caused the current Mid-East mess,

Means you're badly misinformed (by FOX, would be my guess.)

SCOTUS - Affordable Health Care and Dick Cheney

excerpted from an
Article first published as Supreme Court Will Address Affordable Health Care Act... Maybe on Technorati.

I bet Mr. Cheney's happy he was well insured

And I'm happy for him. Hope that he's completely cured.

All those folks who said that Cheney didn't have a heart

Must acknowledge now that it's his most expensive part.

I hear that he's comfortable - recovering his health.

And, thanks to insurance, didn't lose a lot of wealth.

That's the thing with medicine - such miracles we see - 

But, unlike God's miracles, this kind is not for free.

Isn't it ironic, then, that Justices will hear

Arguments about this thing Republicans hold dear;

Is it Constitutional to force us all to pay

For those miracles that doctors perform every day?

Doctors do not have a choice according to their oath;

Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor - they treat them both.

If it's an emergency you won't be turned away.

But, the bottom line my friends is; someone's gotta pay.

Once upon a time, not long ago, the G.O.P.

Advocated mandates and their (almost) nominee

Implemented something very similar to what,

Under the Obama plan, the country also got.

Now they're praying in the streets the Court will overturn

Health Care Legislation. Should they win, I fear they'll learn

System was as broken as Dick Cheney's failing heart.

True, it isn't perfect yet but I think it's a start.
