Outlawing Knives

Students injured at a Texas university;

Lunatic stabbed every, single person he could see.

Or, at least, the ones that he could catch; he had a knife.

14 people injured; 2 are fighting for their life.

'Now they'll want to outlaw knives, as well,' a Tweeter said.

But, unlike with guns - so far, at least - nobody's dead.

If the man had brought a gun instead, I guarantee

We'd be watching body counts, again, on our TV.

4 months after Sandy Hook; it's time the Senate votes.

GOP should be aware that we are taking notes.

Even the Amendment says "well regulated" guns.

Get your act together or we're sending in the nuns.

The 113th Congress - Paycuts?

President Obama volunteered to cut his pay,

And Chuck Hagel also made that gesture yesterday...

Showing solidarity with people who've been hurt

Due to sequestration cuts.  Does Congress feel like dirt?

Doesn't seem to be the case...  Their pay has not been cut,

Whether they are working hard or sitting on their butt.

I think, as incentive, with the Congress so dead-locked

If they do not do their jobs, their paychecks should be docked.

They would have to prove they'd made one compromise that day;

Listened, open-minded, to what their opponents say.

They should have to do the work we sent them there to do.
