[2log] For Caspar

Yonder and ere, Berke Breathed earned the moniker "voice of his generation" for the following morsel of genius:

The wind doth taste of bittersweet
Like jasper wine and sugar
It no longer blows through others' feet
like those of Caspar Weinberger

In homage to Breathed, here's some ABAB poems for the entire Obama cabinet, in ascending order of succession.

	Terrorists once put boom boom in their undies And had planned it to go kablammo, Now TSA cams zoom zoom into our weewees By order of Janet Napolitano
	Golsh dern fired! He shoulda knew better than Dragging Rumsfeld through that there heck, kin ya' see? But he got unretired, at a gig helpin' retired veterans, So it all done worked out for Eric Shinseki
	Consider the Retard - Dullard smile of elation Neanderthal brow, and forehead so far sunken Born dumb, yet promoted to chief of Education Your story inspires us all, Arne Duncan.
	The sneeze reverberated through the empty space. "Gesundheit! Bless him, me and even you." Such decorum, generosity and notes of fine grace Defines the consummate gentleman: Steven Chu
	"What do you want? Wine, women, and song? I'll treat ya' right and I'll pay ya' good!" "Thanks boss, but the only thing that rings my gong Is being the one and only Mister Ray LaHood."
	If you'd like to help those who own buildings and rent, And stop the guys who can con a man, Then stop by Housing and Urban Development And look up my man Shaun Donovan. (Thx to DJ Flav)
	How does one manage to get through the day With the battles they're battling so bilious? You can make your work look as easy as play If you're the estimable Kathleen Sibelius.
	Always smokin' a dime And chanting kill da police! Wherever there's crime You know it's Hilda Solis!
	He's not very brash, he doesn't have flash. His personality's so very Spock. But if you need a secretary of managing cash You'd better hire Gary Locke
	The man gets questions like a corpse draws vultures. He always answers "Let's bomb Iraq!" It's a bold move for the field of agriculture, But that's how it is with Tom Vilsack
	Fear crept as America watched BP's rig explode then fall apart Placed on the necks of those who had botched The drilling, was the boot of Ken Salazar
	Our new Attorney General could have broke from the past And tried to make America bolder But he ran things the same as the guy who had the job last Cause why rock the boat when you're Eric Holder?
	"The best defense is a strong offense" Is a motto long etched into copperplate Let's hope America never plays defense Cause we're now losing six wars under Robert Gates
	He gets no respect at work or in love Even his mother tells him to bite her. But once he hits puberty he'll rise above And stop being ashamed to be Tim Geithner
	Dare say she's not tough? Why, she'd pillory a g--d--- kitten! The world's yet afraid to call the bluff Of Hillary Rodham Clinton
