REPUBLICAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS<br><br>
<br><br>
By Richard Nathan<br><br>
<br>
A Mandate Clear (sung to the tune of "It Came Upon A Midnight
Clear")<br><br>
<br>
We claim it was a mandate clear<br>
When we got fifty-one percent<br>
And voters on election day<br>
Kept our Bush President.<br><br>
<br>
Piss on the Earth!<br>
Pollute the air!<br>
And shovel crap out to the sea!<br>
That's clearly what the people want<br>
Since they voted G.O.P.<br><br>
<br><br>
<br>
C.E.O.'s (sung to the tune of "We Three Kings")<br><br>
<br>
C.E.O.'s - we do as we please!<br>
Making money with our decrees!<br>
We can do it!<br>
Nothing to it!<br>
Laying off employees!<br><br>
<br>
Oh! Oh!<br><br>
<br>
Lay-off! Lay-off! It's our right!<br>
Lay-off everyone in sight!<br>
Those remaining<br>
Will be straining,<br>
Working through the day and night!<br><br>
<br><br>
<br>
The Damnation Song (Sung to the tune of "God Bless Ye Merry
Gentlemen")<br><br>
<br>
God damn you homosexuals!<br>
How dare you act so gay!<br>
We think about you day and night<br>
And what you do and say,<br>
And where you put your penises -<br>
Thank God, we're not that way!<br>
We do not like the things you do in bed -<br>
You do in bed - <br>
We don't like those things, so you can never wed!<br><br>
<br><br>
<br>
Debt Us All (sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls")<br><br>
<br>
Debt us all for Halliburton!<br>
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!<br>
Who cares if the budget's hurtin'?<br>
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! <br>
Spend as if there's no tomorrow!<br>
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!<br>
From our friends the Chinese borrow!<br>
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!<br><br>
<br><br>
<br>
Republicans Are Running The Town! (sung to the tune of "Santa Claus
Is <br>
Coming To Town")<br><br>
<br>
You better be good,<br>
You better behave!<br>
Or you're gonna end up<br>
In Abu Ghraib!<br>
Republicans are running the town!<br><br>
<br>
We're making up lists -<br>
Our clans and our tribes!<br>
We help you with laws<br>
If you pay us with bribes!<br>
Republicans are running the town!<br><br>
<br>
We know if you support us!<br>
We know if you protest!<br>
We know if you watch news on FOX<br>
Or Moyers on PBS!<br><br>
<br>
So you better be good!<br>
And don't you be gay!<br>
Or we'll lock you away<br>
At Guantanamo Bay!<br>
Republicans are running the town!<br><br>
<br><br>
<br>
President George Bush (sung to the tune of "Good King
Wenceslas")<br><br>
<br>
President George Bush looked out<br>
On the U.S. nation,<br>
Taxes that the rich paid out<br>
Caused him aggravation!<br><br>
<br>
Bush's friends made lots of cash,<br>
Surely God had blessed them!<br>
Taxing such good men was rash!<br>
Think of how it stressed them!<br><br>
<br>
Bush had this rule sent by fax<br>
To his legislators:<br>
Make the wealthy free from tax!<br>
They are job-creators!<br><br>
<br>
Welfare for rich did pass!<br>
They got what was due them!<br>
What about the working class?<br>
Dubya Bush said, "Screw them!"<br><br>
<br><br>

<font size=2>"Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any
system cannot be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and
studying each part by itself. . . .We must keep our attention fixed on
the whole and on the interconnection between the parts. The same is true
of our intellectual life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between
science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of
its various parts." --Max Planck<br><br>
