1. Tea Party Christmas Haiku

    It was the day before Christmas, and all through the House

    Not a member was working, not even a speaker named Straus.

    But the Nutnet was stirring, with tea party zeal

    Writing emails and poems, a last-minute appeal.

    On Paxton, on Chisum, on anyone but Straus

    Christmas will be ruined if a Jew runs the House.

    Then a guy called Apostle stepped into the breach.

    He is full of shit, but boy he can preach.

    He had a premonition, a word from above

    And he spoke it to his followers, and anyone who gives him love.

    “We must rid the House of this man named Straus.

    My elephants are raging, check Monica’s blouse.”

    They frothed and foamed, and spread deceit

    It wouldn’t be Christmas without partisan heat.

    In the name of the Lord, and in the name of ideology

    They launched their crusade without apology.

    Every legislator on Christmas beware

    The Nutnet is coming, and no one will be spared.

    They are coming by bus, and they are coming by sleigh

    To kill the infidels and save the day.

    If you don’t acquiesce, they will threaten a primary

    They have the Tea Party mojo, their reach is legendary.

    So enjoy Christmas legislators and loved ones

    Enjoy the lutefisk, ham, and burnt buns.

    When nights falls, and Christmas has passed.

    The Tea Party is coming to scorch your ass.
