Dear Friends:
Hi and welcome to another issue of MadKane Humor. And a special welcome
to my new subscribers. (If you got this from a friend and would like

I hope you didn't have too rough a time during the blackout. My husband
Mark and I got lucky and missed it: We left NYC the day before it hit
for an impromptu Maine vacation. Of course I wouldn't let a little thing
like that keep me from doing a Dubya comic strip about the blackout:

all my Dubya comic strips here: http://www.madkane.com/comicstrips.html

** MAD SONG PARODIES ***
I've written three new song parodies since my last newsletter issue, all
of which can be found @ http://www.madkane.com/musichumor.html with
sing-along midi links. (I'm including two of them in this newsletter,
but you'll have more fun with them if you go to my site, hit the midi
links and start singing. And the third one is Fabulosa Condoleezza, to
be sung to "Mona Lisa")
"The Fair & Balanced Song" (to be sung to "Love and Marriage")

By Madeleine Begun Kane
Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Empty slogans, rabid views, and shrill rants.
Fox calls critics liars.
O'Reilly's filled with angst and ire.
Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Words that don't describe the Fox News talents.
Yet, Fox says it owns them.
Sued Penguin Books and wit Al Franken.
Try, try, try to criticize them.
Face litigation.
Try, try, try and you will only get
Big aggravation.
Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Words that don't describe the Fox News talents.
Don't you try to use them.
You can't say fair,
Not on a dare.
And balanced. Fox is on a mission.
Try, try, try to criticize them.
Face litigation.
Try, try, try and you will only get
Big aggravation.
Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Ranting righties spouting wingnut madness.
Truth is rarely heard there.
Opposing views,
Authentic news,
Dissenting voices -- Not on Fox air.

Yellow Bush of Texas (to be sung to Yellow Rose of Texas)
http://www.madkane.com/yellow.html (where you'll find a sing-along midi
link)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There's a yellow Bush in Texas, that's where he loves to be.
Where Dub can dodge the media, evading scrutiny.
He cries so when he leaves there, it nearly breaks his heart.
Let's help him lib'ral voters, from Crawford never part.
Dubya's hiding out in Texas, where he so loves to flee.
He drags his top aides with him, to swelter in the heat.
Loves to torture pals and press and staff, with runs that tax the heart.
Survivors get a tee-shirt, but they cannot wait to part.
Dubya keeps the money flowing, fund raising from the right.
They pay big bucks to see him, though Dubya's not too bright.
They know that he'll remember where he got those piles of dough.
A promise of returns so great, their wealth will quickly grow.
An elitist little hustler, from Texas so he claims.
His eyes are small and squinty, they darken when he's blamed
For his speeches which are packed with lies, and manifold misdeeds.
Cause the yellow Bush of Texas, just cannot take the heat.
But soon we're going to bounce him, for the man has got to go.
We'll say good-bye to Cheney, and Ashcroft and Karl Rove.
We'll celebrate so gaily, when we're rid of right wing hoods.
And the yellow Bush of Texas finally's Crawford-bound for good.

*** DUBYA'S DAYLY DIARY Excerpt***
Here's an excerpt from Dubya's Dayly Diary @
http://www.madkane.com/bush.html :
July 29, 2003
Dear Diary -- Yesterday was "pretend I care about blacks" day, so I
spoke ta the Urban League. And it was extra annoyin cause I couldn't do
a lotta my regular stump speech. Like if I talked about cuttin spendin,
Karl said I'd probably get lynched.
So instead, I gave em some line about "not tirin till we've extended the
great promise of America to every neighborhood in America." Kinda like
"Leave No Neighborhood Behind," but way longer.
After my speech I met with Rep. Cummings & that awful Jesse Jackson.
Then I got the hell outta there, before the guys tryin ta steal my job
could show up.
Which reminds me -- Lieberman's been runnin around tellin people I'm
givin a just war a bad name. He even did it on yesterday's Today Show.
But Karl says not ta worry about it. When we're through with Lieberman,
he'll be lucky ta get on the History Channel.
That's it for this issue. For more humor about everything from marriage,
money, and cars to computers, privacy, and politics, please stop by
