Headline: “Trump to visit California as wildfire death toll rises”
California is Donald Trump’s bane,
But the Donald is planning to feign
Some warmth for the victims
(Those vile White House dictums!)
Unless he’s a victim of rain.

Trump To Finally Visit California (Limerick)
Thursday, November 15th, 2018The So-Called Liberal Media Strikes Again
Sunday, September 25th, 2011Steve Benen points us to yet another example of the media blaming the wrong political party. According to the Washington Post, the Democrats, in resisting Republican precedent-changing demands for FEMA disaster relief offsets, was starting a “fight over a side issue:”
But Democrats decided to pick a fight over a side issue: an insistence by the GOP to pay for more disaster relief funding by cutting a popular auto-industry loan program. Republicans refused to back down.
So let me get this straight: Republicans try to change the rules, thereby holding disaster victims hostage … and it’s the Democrats’ fault?
This calls for two poems: a limerick and a tanka:
Dear Washington Post, you are wrong
With your Democrats started it song.
Disaster relief
Is the cause of this beef.
Give those offset demands a loud gong.
*****
Republican pols
Demand FEMA fund offsets—
Hold victims hostage,
While “liberal media”
Blames Dems for starting the fight.
