*Cupid is a stand-in for cupidity under poetic license.
Cupidity so fits these stone deaf, so-called Congressional representatives.

And, of course, this was put together with apologies to the tune by the Tokens, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, to which this would be sung if I can find a singer.

Hum the tune wherever you happen to see the State of the Union, and remember these words.

May it help you cope.

[Neoliberalnot]

Good one bud. LOL! I like it.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Unfortunately the title had a ♫ in it and does not post in FR headlines.

I did not know that. Please remove the & #9835 ; Thanks

I must take some umbrage in describing Obummer as a “jackal.” A jackal is a creature that serves as a scavenger and, therefore, performing a useful function on this earth.

I suppose The Ly’in could have been used, but it wasn’t used.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Thanks. Do you know someone who can sing it? I bet you could make money on it.

[Tamatoa]

It is I.... uhmmm... I... I... and I some more...

Arrrrggghhh. Now the song is stuck in my mind!
