Race for the White House - "Reality Has a Well-Known Liberal Bias."

Recent polls are showing that Obama's in the lead -

Romney's lagging far behind - 'though FOX has disagreed;

Not just media, but polls show liberal bias, too.

Therefore, Romney's really only trailing by a few.

Any time Conservatives aren't happy with the facts

They blame a conspiracy of secret, liberal pacts.

Questioning the science and the motives of their foes;

Finding liberal bias in the things that they oppose.

Yes, it's true that polls are not exact, but still

If there's any truth to them at all Obama will

Win it in a walk-off...  If the numbers haven't lied

It looks like the President will crush the other side.

Across the Pond (Kind of) - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Swan Song

I have heard a swan will sing, just once, before it dies...

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sung one full of lies.

He's as lame as ducks can get but his last U.N. speech

Gave this narcissist a global stage from which to screech.

On the Jew's High Holy Day; called them "uncivilized."

Quoted Persian poetry until he realized

He had lost his audience.  The U.S. didn't show.

We already knew which way the wind was gonna blow.

Middle East is all our fault.  We're Satan...  Blah, blah, blah.

Persia has been civilized forever...  Rah, rah, rah.

Just ignore the tensions over Syrians who've died;

Never mind the I.A.E.A. claiming that you've lied.

Problems in the Middle East go back 3,000 years

And Iran, for much of it's, incited neighbors' fears.

Even its own citizens are careful where they walk...

That was not a swan song - that was Mahmoud's final squawk.

Race for the White House - President Obama Enjoys The View

President Obama's being criticized again;

Didn't meet world leaders who attended the U.N.

This has knocked important, foreign noses out of joint;

'though I wish he'd met with some, I guess I see his point.

With our moral suasion having reached its lowest ebb -

Owing to some weird film that's been posted on the Web -

What could he accomplish; have we not already said

Syria's a travesty?  Too many people dead.

Why sit down with Netanyahu (who he doesn't like)

When he won't agree with him on a preemptive strike?

Why have talks with Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Right now, our relations with Egyptians are not good.

Only thing you get from meetings?  Headlines FOX can use;

Something they can spin about, in keeping with their views...

Which folks did he meet with?  Why did someone get the snub?

Who is in and who is out of that exclusive club?

At the risk of running long, I also have to say

I don't think world leaders would expect it anyway...

Not in this election year - not if they read the news.

I would also choose The View if in Obama's shoes.

The New England Patriots - Enough is Enough

Uh oh...  That's a no no.  (Photo/BleacherReport.com)

Touchdown? Interception? Interference? Maybe not.

Ball goes past the uprights...  Where's the instant replay shot?

My coach was so angry with officials Sunday night

That he touched a referee and, though it wasn't right,

Who on earth can blame the guy?  I would have done it too.

Bad officiating means my Pats are 1 and 2.

Monday Night was terrible.  The Packers should have won.

This is just ridiculous.  Let's get the contract done.

Games are running longer; there's more fighting on the field.

Give the refs a pension plan.  It's time (and past) to yield.

Seems by now, with all the fines the coaches have to pay,

There should be enough (and more) to fund an IRA.

The 112th Congress - Teats on a Bull

Hello?  Anybody there? (Photo/iowntheworld.com)

Now I see why people want to represent their state;

Congress's vacation benefits are really great.

They are back in recess - after 4 days on the job...

I think that's incredible, and I'm a lazy slob.

Not as if there's any work for them to do.  Oh, wait!

Yes there is.  In fact, they've left a lot still on their plate:

Farm bill, jobs for veterans, the looming fiscal cliff,

All the things they said they'd do to help the working stiff.

But - instead - they're going home, with so much left undone

Can't imagine meeting with their voters being fun.

Cannot work together so the Congress called it quits,

Proving they're as useful as a bull with massive tits.

RIHCA Volunteer of the Year - My Dad: Peter S. Corr, Jr.

He was younger than I am now in this picture.  I hope to age as gracefully.

Going to a luncheon in Rhode Island for my dad -

State where he was born and bred and brought up as a lad.

Navy men, it seems to me, no matter where they roam

Always have a special place they think of as their home.

For my dad, Rhode Island is that place - retired there.

Now the state will honor him for his outstanding care;

Volunteer of this past year...  He's busier than me.

Works as hard as ever, yet he's doing it for free.

Nursing homes and radio for people who are blind,

V.A. driver, Miriam, whatever he can find...

Altar boy in times of need and - though his legs are bad -

I don't think that I could ever keep up with my dad.

We are very proud of him - and of his patient wife;

View him as a model for a fine, up-standing life.

Therefore, as fair warning to Rhode Island, let me say

Kids from Massachusetts may try stealing them away.

The Massachusetts Senate Race - The 1st Debate

WBZ TV is moderating the first of 4 debates between Elizabeth Warren(D) and Scott Brown(R)

Polling here in Massachusetts for the Senate race:

Two show Warren leading with Scott Brown in second place.

One says Brown's ahead by 6 - Elizabeth will lose.

Polls are meant to clarify the picture, not confuse.

Both the candidates will get together here tonight.

This debate should demonstrate what they'll bring to the fight.

I'm still leaning Warren's way but listening to Scott.

Am I still persuadable?  I don't know...  Maybe not.

'though I like the fact that Brown's bipartisan and nice

I am not prepared to make Obama pay the price.

I think he'll need every Democrat that he can get;

Thus, electing Warren seems (to me) the safest bet.
