OK, now those Republican budget-cutting fanatics have gone too far. Harry Reid to the rescue, pointing out that:

“The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1, eliminates National Public Broadcasting,” said Reid in a floor speech. “It eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts.

Your politics are pure Communist red,
My poems are faded cowboy denim blue.
Stop wasting our money you stupid corrupt evil b****rd.
