This place is called DC
Everyone Instagrams
Legislating bills
On Capitol Hill
And their Tumblrs are deleted
and reposted, again and again
There’re guards at the airports
Armed to the teeth
And you may join the crowds at Black Cat, hear music pound
But you are not permitted to leave
We know there’s a big world out there but we only see it on tv
At the Tune Inn late last night
It was Boehner, Paul Ryan, and me.
And we know it’s not a party if it’s not Dem or GOP
Pretending there’s glamour in committee hearings
When Republicans get filibuster-y
This is excellent. “Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up” (feat. Eminem) (by hmatkin)
Well, this was a must-share.

“You never paid dues, you barely pay taxes.”
This is pretty well done.

Who will be the first television personality to condemn Stars’ destructive influence on Britain’s youth?
