The News

It was leaked today in the British press:
President Obama has ordered the CIA
to neutralize those several Democrats
who don’t vote with the Republicans –
via drone or mysterious crashes.
(May God forgive the whistle blower!)

The esteemed U.S.Times called the leaker a thief.
Except for a few radicals
all journalists dismiss the leak,
too ridiculous to bother with details.
One radical journalist told us,
“The CIA comes in handy.”
