Mozart, is available for download at http://royzimmerman.com/ EINE KLEINE BARACKMUSIK Barack Obama has a funny name Barack Obama has a funny name His name's Barack Obama That's right, Obama Sounds like Osama I'm just the hundred-forty-seven-thousanth comic to have made that idiotic point And his middle name, middle name And his middle name's Hussein Hussein, not Saddam, but Obam... When he was a kid he smoked a joint And he inhaled He smoked a joint and inhaled, that was the point He also did cocaine His middle name's Hussein He wants to be the POTUS And I wonder if you notice That Barach Hussein Obama has a funny name Obama is the candidate of change Ought to change his name, it's pretty strange Why can't he just be John or Steve? Or Bill or even George? Or anything but Sue And one more question: Is he black enough Yes, is he black enough to be the president? Born in Honolulu He's got kin in every region Schooled in Indonesia He's a one-man Foriegn Leagion He's got game And also hope, and lots of folks who feel the same And also, did I mention, quite a quirky name And once you go Barack You're never going bock Bock Barack...Obama!

EPA To Drop 'E,' 'P' From Name
WASHINGTON, DC—Days after unveiling new power-plant pollution regulations that rely on an industry-favored market-trading approach to cutting mercury emissions, EPA Acting Administrator Stephen Johnson announced that the agency will remove the "E" and "P" from its name. "We're not really 'environmental' anymore, and we certainly aren't 'protecting' anything," Johnson said. "'The Agency' is a name that reflects our current agenda and encapsulates our new function as a government-funded body devoted to handling documents, scheduling meetings, and fielding phone calls." The change comes on the heels of the Department of Health and Human Services' January decision to shorten its name to the Department of Services.

Killing Off the Cooked Goose Instead of the Lame Duck
SNL usually employs a delicate touch when it comes to making fun of politicians.
