« Snowe is 'Shocked, Shocked' at Rushed Healthcare Timeline | Main | Merry Christmas »

'Tis the Season

Because nothing says 'transparent and open government' like voting on a bill that no one has read at 1 a.m during the holiday season.
Most people
In America
Liked their healthcare a lot
But the Reid,
Who lived in Washington,
Did not
The Reid hated healthcare, thought the system was smashed
Now please don’t ask why his hate was so unabashed
It could be that he was filled with much gall
It could be, perhaps, that his glasses were too small
But I think the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart to Obama was enthralled
But
Whatever the reason,
His worship or glasses
He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the masses
Staring down from his perch with a sour, nasty frown
At the people with healthcare below in their town
For he knew every person with coverage below
Disagreed with him, and that made them his foe
“They’re happy with their healthcare” he snarled with a sneer
“The polls are against me! Their opinion is clear!”
Then he growled with his thin fingers not able to hold still
“I MUST find a way to pass this Obamacare bill!”
For next year, he knew…
All the Americans would start calling their reps
And would wake up to his plans and rush the Capitol steps
And then! Oh the noise! Oh, the noise, noise, noise!
That’s one thing he hated! The NOISE NOISE NOISE NOISE!
Then the Americans, young and old, would start to protest
And they’d protest, and protest!
They’d PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST!
They would start their tea parties and threaten his career
Which was something that filled the Reid with great fear
And THEN
They’d do something he liked least of all!
Every American, the tall and the small
Would all stand together, and with one voice cry
“You’re not listening to us, and have gone awry!”
And they’d cry and they’d cry
And they’d CRY CRY CRY CRY!
And the more the Reid thought of the people’s point of view
The more the Reid thought, “I know just what to do.”
“I’ll ignore what they think and continue to pursue”
“A takeover of healthcare…we’ll shove it through”
“I have sixty votes and nothing to lose”
Then he got an idea
An awful idea
The Reid
Got a wonderful, awful idea!
“I know just what to do!” the Reid laughed in his throat
As he used taxpayer money to buy every vote
And he chuckled and said “What a great little trick!”
“I’ll use pork to make this bill pass so quick!”
“All I need is some suckers”
And the Reid looked around
And since this was Washington, such lowlifes abound
So Reid offered some cash
And promised some pork
“Votes are easy to buy, this will pass without fail!”
The Reid made many deals and made the sale
“With so many votes, we will surely prevail!”
THEN
He loaded the bill
With plenty of presents
For those willing to sell
Their principles for mere cents
Then the Reid said “Let’s vote!”
On a bill few had read
Affecting the Americans
Whose paychecks would be bled
And what happened then?
Well in America they say
That our taxes went up
And grew three sizes that day!
While at the same time, our healthcare declined
But the Reid didn’t care, he had achieved his gain
And he…
He himself…
The Reid voted to cause us all pain.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case wajadud555

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Bom dia amigos, realmente ser proprietário um automóvel é oneroso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato feito ou tem embutidas em letras microscópicas regras que dão prejuízo ao consumidor do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as deveres do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça depois. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer bons negócios.

olá pessoal, provavelmente ser proprietário um carro é trabalhoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de financiamento. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato firmado ou tem embutidas em letras ilegíveis condições que não beneficiam ao comprador do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as clausúlas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas conselhos no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça no final. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer boas aquisições.

Boa noite companheiros, realmente um torpedo web gratuito está cada vez mais trabalhoso devido falta de opções das operadoras móveis. Há ainda serviços de terceiros (sites) que prometem entregar meu torpedo mas nem sempre chegam ao usuário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus SMS? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de comprar?. Foi mal, realmente está difícil achar serviços para enviar torpedos grátis.

How is it that just anyone can create a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything extremely impressive --more like youve painted a fairly picture around an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you definitely think that you can get away with adding some quite pictures and not actually say anything?
