Madeleine Begun Kane's Notables Blog, Song Parodies, Satire, and Verse from MadKane.comSatire, parodies, and commentary about politics, the media, the law, current events, and daily life by Humorist Madeleine Begun KaneWhite House Shakeup Song Parody and Limericks- April 25, 2006 My latest song parody is The White House Shakeup Song, sung to the tune of Good King Wenceslas...http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_25_06 Only Lefties Are Crude. Who Knew- April 24, 2006 Daniel Henninger's latest Opinion Journal column's a doozy. It seems poor Dan's offended by the language used on blogs, citing as examples MySpace, the Huffington Post, and the Daily Kos. Putting aside the odd juxtaposition of My Space with Huffington and Kos, did you notice anything missing in that list You guessed it -- apparently poor old Dan couldn't find any offensive language in right-wing blogs. What a surprise...http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_24_06 Dubya Ain't Known For Decorum- April 23, 2006 Rachel Maddow, my favorite radio talk show host, has a posted a priceless photo on her blog: President Bush tugging on China President Hu's jacket sleeve. And if any photo deserves a companion limerick, that's the one.http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_23_06 Scotty and Andy and Josh, Oh, My!- April 22, 2006 Who can say no to a limerick request -- okay, it was more of a hint, than a request -- from Cookie Christine at Recess-Timehttp://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_22_06 Ode To The Decider-In-Chief- April 19, 2006 In an apparent bid to change his nickname from Leaker-In-Chief to Decider-In-Chief, Bush lashed out in Rummy's defense Tuesday, petulantly bellowing "I'm the decider, and I decide what's best..."http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_19_06 A Pair Of Limericks For A Six-Pack Of Generals- April 17, 2006 I'm delighted that those six great Generals are speaking out against Donald Rumsfeld, though I wish they had spoken out sooner. Of course, if a certain military historian is to be believed, it's all some sort of book sales conspiracy. Then again, it could be something even worse. And that brings me to my latest limericks:http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_17_06 Scalia's Stability Revisited- April 13, 2006 It's one thing for a Supreme Court Justice to refuse to recuse himself from a case involving his pal and hunting mate Dick Cheney. But it's quite another to practically brag about it:http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_13_06 Nuclear Limericks- April 12, 2006 Although Atrios is taking a wait and see approach to Bush's sanity, I think Bush's messianic insanity has been obvious for years. The only question is whether anyone will stop him from starting World War 3 And that brings me to these limericks:http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_12_06 Ode To The Leaker-In-Chief- April 10, 2006 Rep. Henry Waxman sent an excellent letter to our Leaker-In-Chief. Hmmm, perhaps I should send Prez Leaker this poem...http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_10_06 Tom DeLay Haiku- April 10, 2006 I couldn't resist writing yet another poem about Tom DeLay...http://www.madkane.com/notable01_06a.html#04_09_06 |
