LPGA Golf Allows Transgender Players: News in Song
C, G, D/F#, Em
How to make a ladies game more interesting
Just add some men who've lost something
Pretend you're all the same
The LPGA
Says that it's ok
If you weren't born that way
After all, it's just a game
You used to pee standing up
But now you wear all our makeup
Now you're one of us
With an adam's apple
And a much much longer drive
don't these gals know how bad the economy is
every open job you get a hundred applications in
do you hear?
That's the sound of the Nike tour
Calling their doctors
And calling Lorraina
I think Tiger's found his loophole
'cause his 15th club keeps getting into trouble
cut it off
both problems solved
and you'll beat everyone again
just not men

Gate Raped by the TSA: News in Song
Capo 5
Dm, C, G
that girl in front of you
she could be packing
not for a vaca
but an assassin
not going to Cleveland
with hello kitty
she's a secret weapon in al queda's secret army
Don't need a girlfriend
I need a patdown
And naked pictures of me
To send around town
It's for my good, yeah
Well, oh my goodness
Glad we're so much safer now you're staring at my skivs
I was gate-raped
By the tsa
I wanna citizens arrest
For your PDA
You getting kind of close
For a first date
Yeah I wanna be safe
Don't see how this helping it
Bombs in my fake limbs?
Plastic explosives?
Who do I look like?
Osama Olsen
I don't wanna die
I just want a fast ride
Rather take all my chances
Than give up all my rights

Christine O'Donnell First Amendment Forgetfulness: News in Song
Capo 2
C, G, D/F#
I'm like you
I've never read the constitution
I'm like you
I'm confused by evolution
I'm like you
Taxes are bad
But sometimes I like the things they go to
I'm like you
A Christian well I'm kind of Christian
I'm like you
War is bad but bomb the villains
I'm like you
I watch fox news
That's all the news I choose to believe in
I'm like you
I try to cheat on all my taxes
I'm like you
I look real good in business slacks
And I'm like you
I think big government is bad
Unless it helps my home state in a big sort of way
So I'll go to Washington
And it'll be just like if you were there
Won't know a thing that's going on
Won't read a single bill or care
But I'll yell
Lower taxes
And I'll cry
more freedom
and repeat one-liners
but not know what they mean
I'm like you
I'm just like you
And neither one of us have got a clue

Chile Miner Rescue: News in Song
Capo 1
G, Em, C, G
Scientists and minds from dozens of countries
All came together
Was a beautiful picture

Mind-share, drill scare

my wife or my lover
or should I introduce them to each other?

See the sunshine
Kiss your wife then
Kiss the sky and
Maybe your girlfriend

Segway CEO Jimi Heselden Dies on Segway: News in Song
Em, C, G, D/F#
Speaking of segways
Here’s a segue
Into a story
About a segway king
That rode it off into the deep sunset
Off a cliff
Into a river
Life a joke
And death the giver
And on two wheels
Jimi Heselden drove away
It’s not funny
But it’s ironic in a really funny way
Looking back, it will be funny
In a tragic Shakespeare play
Plus, it gets better, ‘cause he’s not only
the CEO of segways but of a company
that makes protective barriers
which did not protect him from driving his segway

Terry Jones Quran Burning: News in Song
Am, C, G, Am
9 years later after 9-11
I got a message I heard from heaven
Said you know what you should do
Burn me some Qurans
I said lord, God help me if I got ‘em
He said, I know fool, go out and buy some
But then we got in a debate
Whether buying them actually financially helps them more than the burning would hurt them
After that,
Nothing would stand in our way
Those fools are going to pay
Just like KISS and Poison stopped making music
After I burned all their CDs
…wait
then, Obama tried to get in my way
But I said no, before I said yea
But it wasn’t because of that
it was because God changed his mind

School in Pennsylvania
Put webcams in their student’s laptops
Took pictures while they slept

aliens traveled over the Midwest, turns out it’s a meteor
put your crazy crap to rest
We have a new hundred dollar bill
Benjamin Franklin’s never looked hotter
Lady gaga has infiltrated the U.S. Army
That’s why we don’t ask, ‘cause we’re afraid of what they’ll say
And how they’ll choreograph it
Pakistan Taliban
Times Square Bomb Scare
Thank god NY’s Finest Found it

And we can’t have an honest discussion
About Arizona’s immigration bill
Without tremendously poor and ignorant constitutional scholarship from Shakira

C, G, D/F#, Em
oh my lord
what is that?
It’s the next susan boyle
Voice don’t match the body
But he’s blowing up Mariah
Opening day, obama threw out a first pitch to boos
Was it healthcare, the white sox hat or ‘cause he
throws like a girl wearing high stiletto shoes
John paul stevens stepping down
Who is going replace him?
I betcha it’s a girl
Who likes her government big and nasty
And Steven Speilberg’s got nothing on this masters day story
Tiger Alone can’t touch Phil + his family
And texas stadium imploded
Just like insert tony romo joke here
And there’s no better entertainment
Than kickboxing orangutans
So I’ll leave you with that

Congressman Johnson Afraid Guam Will Tip Over - News in Song
March 19th - April 2nd, 2010
Three crooks in Montreal went on a shopping spree
used a prison account number to rob a store
yeah, the criminals… will end up in
the same jail they robbed
Hank Johnson got nervous that adding military bases to Guam
Would be a bad idea
I agree, but for constitutional reasons
He’s afraid the island will tip over. Seriously.
And the GAO gave EnergyStar
tax credits for products that don’t even exist
Like gas power alarm clocks
Oh I wish that the government would be in charge of more
The healthcare bill got passed
Biden said it was a big effin’ deal
now parents won’t worry ‘bout their kids getting sick
but the rest of us will worry ‘bout paying for it
and CERN created thousands of mini big bangs
by crashing sub-atomic particles together
but no one blacked out after all
I think flashforward lied to me
The Vatican got mad
That the new york times got mad
About the vatican’s cover-up job
They say they’re still men of God
and happy birthday
to nancy Pelosi
she turned 70
her face turned 6

Got a half-million followers overnight
Friended one person completely at random
And changed Sarah Killen’s 19-year old life
Sean Penn said that American journalists should go to jail
For calling Hugo Chavez a dictator
There’s so much wrong with that statement
That I refuse to get into it
And don’t tell a woman to shut up in the movie theater
‘cause you might just stabbed in the neck by her boyfriend with a meat thermometer
And lawmaker Felix Ortiz
Wants to ban salt in restaurants in new york
God save us all

3-year old Cody cried over Justin Bieber
so she went on Kimmel and finally got to meet him
which proves if you cry real hard, you’ll get what you want
As long as you’re adorable
cities across the country started making a lot of money
on automatic red-light cameras
so they started rolling back the yellow light times
all in the name of safety??
in a mall in dubai, an aquarium cracked
the sharks got free, swam straight to the gap
in seaworld shamu 2 pulled a Siegfried and roy
and made her trainer disappear
what are the fish trying to tell us, I mean mammals
And chatroulette.com went viral
Exposing the world to a bunch of exposers

a man flew a plane into a building
the IRS in Austin, texas
wrote a letter against the system
he proved his point
The point’s he’s crazy
tiger said I’m sorry tiger said I’m Buddhist
if he’d allowed some questions
I’m sure that’s all we wanted to know
ron paul won the republican straw poll
for who you’d vote as president today
if only he would say
bombs are ok
he’d be there to stay
harry reid said that men are abusive
when they stay at home with nothing to do
so we’ve got to pay billions
to give ‘em fake jobs so they won’t beat their wives
He is actually the democractic majority leader.
Of our congress, oh God help us
And dick cheney survived his 1, 2, 3, 4, 5th heart attack.
Either God’s trying real hard to kill him, or God’s who he is.

the Beijing opening was hard to follow

A terrible day for the country of Georgia
Whose Olympic hopes died while riding the luge
I guess when going 150 miles an hour on ice
The odds of bad things happening are huge
Alec Baldwin got rushed to the hospital
Because his daughter said he wanted to die
Slam dunk contest was sloppy and lazy
I’ve seen better dunks by white boys at the Y
And we are the world sang songs for Haiti
And by “we” I mean the top 1% of Hollywood billionaire musicians

Super bowl went on in Miami
A record hundred six and a half million tuned in.
The most watched commercials ever

But you’d get that much too
if you had calfs like that
DC gets covered in Christmas
30 plus inches of snow
it’s pure white entrapment
it’s hell freezing over
Toyota falls from the top to the bottom
After brakes went out on their hybrid star Prius
You drive one, you might end up dead
but now’s your best chance to get a car of eco-bliss
USC recruited a 13-year old quarterback.
Could it be their coaches are high on powder they call crack
Hoping his domination of 95-pound kids
will translate to the bigs
and Mel Gibson called a reporter an a-hole
For asking the question we all want to know
Do you think people still hate you for hating some people?

obama gave the state of the state
and the truth is it ain’t all that great
so the optimistic rhetoric
isn’t quite what I’d expect
but most importantly, what’s the deal with miss pelosi’s
lips, is she eating them?
Brett favre threw a questionable throw
That sent the saints off to the superbowl
The fantasy giants of manning and brees
Will fight ‘til the other one’s down on his knees
Roger federer went to australia
sent andy murray crying like a baby kanga
As roger broke the record books further
16 majors and counting and counting
Apple released the ipad
What does it do? What is it for?
It’s an e-book reader for people who don’t read
It’s like a laptop but only without the lap you see
But who really cares, it’s shiny and cool.
And more than enough to make the fan babies drool.
leno went on oprah had a heart to heart
spoke his mind and made me forced to like him
But I need someone to hate
‘cause I need an enemy
or I’d have to admit that Americans don’t find brilliance that funny
