The Lyrics

I experienced two jaw-dropping revelations today. First and foremost, the Beatles actually recorded a version of the American standard "The Sheik Of Araby". Of lesser shock, former Vice-President Al Gore has sold his foundering cable network Current T.V. to...Al-Jazeera! I'm not kidding. Gore added that he chose Al-Jazeera rather than anyone who was "not alligned with our point of view". Moreover, the tireless crusader against power obtained by oil and all fossil fuels personally will pocket upwards of 150 million...in petro-dollars.
Current T.V.'s going broke.
What's happened is no joke.
Gore sold his far left voice
To a disturbing choice.
Hear Al say that all is fine -
Their views and ours "allign".
Would someone tell me how
Current's Al-Jazeera now?


While Gore shouts all oil use sucks
He makes big petro-bucks.
What's his "allign", pray tell?
Jihad! Kill Is-ra-el!
Al rakes in one-fifty mil.
Al-Qaeda gets its shill.
America must bow!
Current's Al-Jazeera now!



It makes me wonder if Newsweek and The New York Times will be sold (or already have been sold) to North Korea and Iran. ;D

Yes, well, Al's eco-fascism always was more fascist than eco-, if you know what I mean.
