Enuretic Dumbos: Pi-(Double-Crooked-Letter) On 'Em!

Big, tough Dumbos! Afraid to bring KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) to federal court in the town so nice, they named it twice: New York, NY. Hell, if federal judge Julius Hoffman could gag Abby Hoffman and Jerry Rubin in the Chicago 8 trial in 1968, the federal judge in NYC can have KSM strapped to a waterboard. Liberty and justice (and waterboarding) for all is the name of the game. If this is (fair & balanced) hypocrisy, so be it.

Roll Over, Music Man! Santa Claus The Scammer Has Come To Town

Marcy Shaffer is a national treasure. Her parodies are priceless and spot-on. She writes VERSUS parodies thanks to her professional writing experience that includes television, film, lyrics, verse and… musical parody. VERSUS is co-produced by Russ Meyer, a private equity veteran whose industry expertise includes financial services as well as entertainment. Shaffer is an attorney-cum-parodist (Roll over Stephan Pastis!) and her partner, Russ Meyer, received his MBA from Stanford University. If this is (fair & balanced) musical savagery, so be it.

"It's Beginning To Look A Lot More Riskless"
TO "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"
(Words And Music By Meredith Willson)
Parody Lyrics By Marcy Shaffer



IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT MORE RISKLESS.
AT LEAST FOR GUYS LIKE ME.
IT'S NEAT BEING THIS ELITE.
THE GOVERNMENT MAKES IT SWEET.
COMPLETE WITH ROBBER BARON GUARANTEE!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT MORE RISKLESS.
CHILL HAS TURNED TO THRILL!
WE CONVERGED, NOW OUR FLANKS GIVE THANKS.
WE MERGED ALL THE RANKS OF BANKS.
THAT WE DID NOT KILL!

WHEN LIQUIDITY TRAPS
SLID TO MAPS OF COLLAPSE?
WE HEEDED TREASURY'S PLEAS.
LEAPT TO THE CALL, AND ADEPT-ER THAN ALL.
KEPT THE STALL FROM BECOMING A FREEZE.
AND SINCE WHAT CRACKED IS STILL INTACT?
WE ACT LIKE REGENCIES!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT MORE RISKLESS.
UNEMPLOYMENT'S POPPED!
THOUGH I KNOW HOW THE BLEEDING HEARTS.
SHOW THEIR MISLEADING CHARTS.
NEIGHBOR, ALL MY LABOR COSTS HAVE DROPPED!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT MORE RISKLESS.
BONUSES RESTORED!
WHEN UP YON IN THIS MONARCHY.
ECHELON-ESTY, YOU SEE.
IS ITS OWN REWARD!

PARADES OF MORE AIDES
FOR HIGH FREQUENCY TRADES.
SINCE BRIGADES WANT INTO OUR POOLS.
INCENTIVE RETENTIVE
FOR THOSE THOUGHT INVENTIVE.
WHO PLOT AUGMENTIVE NEW TOOLS.
SO ABSTRUSE THAT WE'RE LET LOOSE
TO GO PRODUCE NEW RULES!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT MORE RISKLESS.
AS WE NURSE THE PURSE.
THERE'S SUCH FUN IN DISASTERING.
WHEN YOU'VE WON THE MASTERING.
OF THE UNIVERSE!

THERE'S SUCH FUN IN DISASTERING.
WHEN YOU'VE WON THE MASTERING.
OF THE UNIVERSE! Ω
