The office has oversight of people who do analysis and oversight of people who do operations, but it is not charged with doing either. That is an important point to make. Those functions are performed by the CIA, DIA and other agencies.

Why You Buggin'?
I don't mean to be offensive.
But I do believe...
People who make mistakes,
At someone's expense...
Should be held accountable.
To me this makes common sense.
~Pardon me,
There has been a slight oversight.
You have charged me the wrong amount.
I've given you my senior I.D.
And I am due a 10 percent discount.
I was just looking over my receipt...
And...see, right here...you've...~
'Chill!
Why you buggin'?
Why you want that announced.
I know what I'm doin'.
If you don't like it...
Just bounce! '
~Uh...
Huh?
You've charged me incorrectly.
I just want to point out the mistake.
I didn't intend to embarrass you.
I'm the one on a fixed income.
With a few pennies pinched...
I can even save.
You see...
That error made is on you!
Do you wish me to apologize,
For your incompetence too? ~
'Why you buggin'?
I see what I've done.
Do you think you are the only customer?
I don't have time to waste on just one! '
~WELL...
Am I paying for your attitude?
Your disrespect and tongue so crude,
Too?
Why don't you add a few cuss words with that?
So I can 'trip' the hell out of here.
And never bother to come back! ~
'That's fine with me!
NEXT in line!
Hopefully someone,
With courtesy on their mind! '
~Courtesy?
CUR-TAH SEE?
EXCUSE ME...
WHAT? ~
'Why you buggin'? '

Hopefully, at some point, people will at least credit the Republicans with carrying out their oversight responsibilities and with pursuing a principled course of action even in the face of everyone's short-attention spans.

Just A Rumor
Why have they come to picket his home?
'One of them has recently discovered,
A grandmother of a neighbor...
Has an ingrown toenail.'
You can not be serious?
'Well...
It is just a rumor so far.
She's vacationing in Cancun.
And confirmation has yet to arrive.
He has claimed the current administration,
Is responsible for neglect.
And the leader...
Should be held accountable,
To allow such oversight to happen.
Claiming him to be incompetent.
The organizer for this campaign,
Is known to be proactive.
And was able to get the people commited,
'Before' the truth is actually known.
He has his eye on running for office one day.
And so far,
The people find him more than qualified.'

TSA serves as the operator, administrator and regulator for the nation's transportation security. But in fact, the TSA bureaucracy does all it can to thwart any conversion to a system with more private-sector operations and strong federal oversight and standards. This agency cannot, and should not, do it all.
Before I Go
Turn me around, dont let me walk out forever
If theres a chance, the slightest chance, darling never say never
You know its out of my hands, cos Im in way over my head
But it wont take me long, you could blink and Ill be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our love
Chorus:
Now if theres something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if theres something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go
Angel of pride, girl wont you come and release me
Is it such a crime, oh such a crime, to surrender so easy
You know how hard Ive tried, well maybe Ive tried too damn hard
But it wont take you long, you can break this liaison
And if theres something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if theres something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go,
I dont know where this road ever ends
The point of existence, your die-hard resistance
And I dont know where the shoulder begins
And gravity crumbles, tenacity tumbles
(guitar solo)
But it wont take me long, you could blink and Ill be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our life
If theres something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if theres something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go,
And if theres something I can say, to make you, make you see it half my way
(just tell me once), before I go, before I go
Ooh tell me once before I go
If there, if theres something I can say to you
To make you see it half my way, tell me, tell me
If theres something I can say, oh now baby, to make you turn around...

Beacons Instead Of Searchlights
People spend much time searching for what to do
In lieu of standing in their own God-Given Light
Prefer creating fear, chaos, with such ballyhoo
When they can be shiny beacons, giving oversight

Uncontrolled access to data, with no audit trail of activity and no oversight would be going too far. This applies to both commercial and government use of data about people.

We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not - nor will we ever - monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources.

Melpomene In Manhattan
As she walked she would look back
over her shoulder and trip
upon sidewalk cracks or bump
into people to whom she would apologize
profusely, her head still turned.
One could hear her murmur to herself
tearfully, as though filled with a yearning
to recover what she was leaving behind
as if she would preserve it
or do for it what she had neglected
out of ignorance or oversight
or from sheer meanness and spite
or simple helplessness to do better,
her voice beginning to keen
as she tripped or steered blindly
into the gutter

Couldn't Write Without Either
If feeling how I'm feeling makes me write,
I question why the pen was so invented.
For if it were that feelings could be rented,
I'd treat the pen as just an oversight.

The sweet hot(? ) of the passing hour
My make ups starting to crack
People talk behind my back
And I dont like that
See the man of the moment
Trying to get himself in my shot
Telling everyone hes not
Confidence artist
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
You gotta settle the score
Look a little bit closer now
See if the side you can take
The suspense has to got break
And it will someday
Still life in a darkened room
Will be flooded with light
And it might make you uptight
But you wont die from exposure
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
You gotta settle the score
Theres so many people
Too many people
No no no
Im just enchanted now
Some other time
If youre seeing something
That youre not supposed to see
Youll be charged a penalty
And youll pay forever
I been working night and day
Building sets on a lot
In a land that time forgot
Captured here in my camera
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
Theres so many people
You gotta settle the score
Theres so many people
Too many people
No no no
Im too enchanted now
Some other time
Some other time

Duchess
Times were good,
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then,
And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.
And on the road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.
But now everytime that she performed
Oh everybody cried for more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, youre the one weve waited for.
Oh but time went by
It wasnt so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes times were hard,
Too much thinking bout the future and what people might want.
An then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, youre the one weve waited for.
