Gotta thank Ron Hull for dinging me about media coverage, so I tried.



Busted News !

In Los Molinos California , this morning at ten Am,
The eldery Marmotini’s, Mike and Margaret were killed at south and Elm,

Best friends, Al and Joanne Rogers witnessed the horrific accident,
Then to their local Radio station, reported the incident,

A police petrol car hit the couple and failed to stop or slow down,
To them it was a tragedy on the part of these clowns from town,

The local news investigation for the report was waiting,
But quickly grabbed by National media for a jump in viewer rating,

A sterling case of police brutality, a perfect news release,
Another reason to defund the departments of police,

Naturally Washington got the news and what would you expect,
A new committee quickly funded to address police neglect,

Millions were allocated, they all demanded answers,
We must wipe out these terrible police department cancers,

They had to ride this gravy train, we gotta get rid of the Blue,
It’s really a great talking point, just think what it might do,

Vote for me in the next election, I promise justice will be served,
A top spot on my ticket, I promise will be reserved,

Then a Go Fund Me for funeral, thousands more keep coming in,
It’s totally amazing, how this tale will never end,

Days and tons of media mania, they should have been there for the burials,
Mike and Margaret were Marmotini, you know, a pair of slow ground squirrels!

It was that punchline again! I almost ran over a fast gray squirrel, does that count? ;-)

Actually, it was a sure sign that the British are back. Evidence shows that it was a British car, disguised in LA police car because it was a petrol car and only the British put petrol in their cars. So I suggest we get the government to fund the militias so that we can push those British back into the Atlantic, and now, the Pacific, where they belong!

Hey, you're back, Tom, with all your ill-packed verve of a sting. Can't capito why you would want to waste your breath thanking anyone at all. Since this one's rife with bite, you should try to coax the smashed-up Marmotinis to leave their front nut-cracking teeth in "his" flesh before the burial. That will learn him going around the world chasing Miss TRUTH. The trouble is, ever since his circumlocution of the earth, there's no morsel of Miss TRUTH left for others to lick! Bravo! Tom.
