Michigan’s Fetal Shenanigans (Limerick)
This Republican behavior is so crazy, I almost couldn’t write a limerick about it.
Republican lawmakers in Michigan, a state which eliminated tax credits for children last year, have proposed a tax credit for unborn foetuses of 12 weeks gestation…
Critics said the proposal was “absurd” and described it as a backdoor way of trying to pass “personhood” legislation which would give rights to an embryo and crack down on abortion.
The irony-impaired Rep. Jud Gilbert, R-Algonac said:
“You’re recognizing the fact that people have additional expenses, another person to take care of.”
Michigan’s Fetal Shenanigans (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A Republican law now forbids
Tax credits for Michigan kids,
But those same pols want credits
For fetuses. Bet it’s
A product of brains on the skids.

The Right Wing-nuts apparently learned nothing from the recent elections.
It’s no wonder I’m confused all the time. Each day I think I see a new absurdity that can’t be topped. In the same geographic area, I just read that in Wisconsin, if you make more than $3000 per year, the state thinks you can afford your own attorney.
If I may make a request: John McCain really needs his own limerick for this Benghazi nonsense. Is it too much to ask that the man finally get a reputation as a bitter and spiteful old man, which he has long deserved?
I just realized that your name fits well to the tune of “Oh My Darling”:
Madeleine Kane
Madeleine Kane
Or Mad Kane as she is known
Got a letter
From Bob Newhart
For the humor she has sown.
And yes, I am perhaps a little too impressed by the Bob Newhart letter, but it is the coolest thing…
Frankly, you’re too funny. As for McCain, over the years I’ve written zillions of limericks mocking him.
Okay … maybe not zillions … but a lot. :)
Hansi, I fear you’re right.
