"The New Deal"

By: Bascomb Biggers

I been enjoyin readin the news lately, course, I always enjoy watchin a politician squirm when he gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. With news of the Infernal Revenue Service gettin after people cause of their politics, and the government spyin on the news folks, and DC not lookin out for the folks that work for them in bad parts of the world, and then the head man's youngins bein paid as "Senior Staffers" to go on vacation, you might say that we are in for a long hot summer.
 

Like I always said, I like watchin a pig squeal, and when it comes to Skunks and Polecats, I do enjoy watchin them squirm when they get a bit nervous. This guy runnin things these days is so full of himself and hot air, that if he was a balloon, he would have floated off to the Moon by now. He started out offerin a "new deal", somethin that was supposed to be full of hope and change, but it turned out to be the same old deal, just a bunch of hot air and pig slopps.
 

A few decades back, when they caught the Head Liar spyin on folks at a big DC hotel, they named the scandel after the name of the hotel. I wonder what they will call this new fella's mess? Coiurse, it don't matter much to old Bascomb, I always told you that all politicians are liars, and you can tell when they are lyin, cause it happens as soon as they open their mouth. It does look like we are in for a long hot summer though, but at least there is goin to be lots of free entertainment! I guess we better warm up the presses over at The Nankipooh Enquirer, ain't no tellin what's comin next!
 

"Now that's the way I see it, and you can tell'em I said so!"
