Fox News
if your well
has run dry
feel free to quote
the following.
The only time
which Democrats
progressives and just liberals
in general
feel happy to be citizens
of our country
is when we win 2 to 1
(and what kind of tiny
winning score is that?)
at a sport
invented in Europe
and played internationally
which we don't
even call "soccer"
but rather "football"
against citizens
of a country
just a 4,000-mile
hop skip and a jump
away from our
beloved president's homeland
(assuming being a "birther"
is still cool
this late into Obama's
second term).
Because there
is no such thing
as a soccer-loving Republican.
So with your flair
for creative reporting
with these above facts
as a solid foundation
this could be
an absolutely scandalous story
that unseats all Democrats
in Congress
and makes Obama retire
in sudden embarrassment
"due to unrelated issues".
Maybe call it
"soccer Benghazi"?
