Cash on the Barrel-head

The world is too much with me

now and then:

The pipeline revisited, the NDAA

indefinite detention, perhaps

me and thee.

Methane fountains in the Siberian Sea--

nothing to worry about

says he,

A Danish scientist.

Who pays his bills?



Obama temporizes, his party caves,

Republicans tie the noose and

the pipeline is saved.

Job-killer they'll say,

if he vetoes it,

Earth poisoner, greens'll say,

if he signs it.



The environmental President

owned by coal and oil;

350 parts per million

long gone

but then,

Gingrich the kook

could say:

it's all for sale.

That's how we do it

in the free market!
