Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    manos, otra vez

    Hey, if one must quote Mel Brooks

    To get the better of these schnooks

    Humor works where all else fails

    With these remnants of hay bales

    That plop in pastures nationwide:

    The grass may be greener on the other side

    But one has to deal with that stench, that smell

    That proves the point: Hill's gone to hell

    In a handbasket she herself has made:

    Be off, and go get Big Bill laid

    Instead of staying on the bus

    And screwing with the rest of us.

    Manos Shave
