We the Dems must show full solidarity
To counter the loathsome barbarity
Of Republican stances,
Whose fright’ning advances
Account for this lack of hilarity.

While it’s true that Scott Pruitt is gone,
His policies do carry on.
Nothing really has changed;
Donald Trump’s still deranged
And will wreck our whole nation anon.

The EPA’s Acting Admin
Should be greeted with fear and chagrin.
Scott’s successor’s a hole
Who has lobbied for coal!
So this ain’t an environment win.

Headline: “Scott Pruitt blames ‘unrelenting attacks’ for his demise”
In a letter to Trump packed with whines,
The sleazy Scott Pruitt resigns;
Though corrupt to the max,
“Unrelenting attacks”
Took a “toll” — his self-pitying lines.

“Trump EPA Pick Works for Dow Chemical”
Donald’s EPA pick works for Dow,
And all I can say’s “Holy Cow!”
If confirmed, Peter Wright’s
Brand new job’s toxic sites.
Is Dow Chemical happy? And how!

EPA chief Scott Pruitt has stopped pretending to have a semi-open mind about climate science:
Climate scientists widely proclaim
Human action re carbon’s to blame
For our crisis, but Scott
(Although expert he’s not)
Disagrees. EPA chief? For SHAME!

And “regs are bad” crier
Can wreck air and water with glee.

That Romney sure has quite the sense of humor. Here’s an example of his convention speech wit:
“President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family.”
Rising Oceans Aren’t Risible (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The sea level’s rising, but Mitt
Treats that danger as grist for his wit:
Mocks a serious threat
With a joke that’s all wet—
A GOP cheer-swelling hit.

Styrofoam is back.
“Green the Capitol” is gone.
Job, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs?
*****
Rotund Rush Limbaugh
says Michelle Obama’s fat—
that’s hard to swallow.
*****
Freedom from taxes
demanded by those who crave
what taxes give them.
*****
The mental midget
mentioned an affinity
with Rush — no surprise.
*****
Showing up to vote—
a yearly exercise in
unrequited hope.
*****
(More political haiku here. And more Rush Limbaugh humor here.)

While Govs. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), Charlie Crist (I-Fla.), and Bob Riley (R-Ala.) seem to take the Gulf oil spill crisis very seriously, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) has been downplaying the disaster, talking as if it’s a fictitious crisis created by the media.
For instance, according to Barbour, “tar balls are no big deal.”
The biggest negative impact for us has been the news coverage. …
Our tourist season has been hurt by the misperception of what is going on down here. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is beautiful. As I tell people, the coast is clear. Come on down!
That brings me to my latest limerick:
Haley’s Barbaric Attitude
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Don’t worry, be happy, says Haley,
In spite of the news we get daily.
Just ignore the press squeal.
The spill’s no big deal.
Must be nice to view crises so gaily.

You’d think that, in the wake of the BP Gulf oil disaster, raising oil spill liability limits would be a no-brainer, even for Republicans. But apparently not. Just ask Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who blocked the Menendez-Nelson-Lautenberg “Oil Company Bailout Prevention Act,” a bill that would increase the liability cap for oil spills from $75 million to $10 billion.
Oily Obstruction (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Liability caps for a spill
Would be raised by the Democrats’ bill.
But Sen. Lisa says “No!”
She’s protecting each co
That drills oil, despite all that they kill.
They’d be hurt by such law, she maintains.
Such indifference to other folks’ pains!
Who will cover the bills
For the victims of spills?
It seems oil cos have Lisa in chains.
