One of the great joys this year and the year before has been how all of the people in this body, men and women, Republicans and Democrats, have worked together so well with our chairman and the chairman of the full committee to address the issues of housing for our soldiers.

Mr. Dingell is just plain Mr. Dingell. And when he gets to be chairman of the Commerce Committee, he doesn't let it go to his head. However, he thinks he would be a very, very good chairman.

The Democratic chairman doesn't need to be a household name. Most people didn't know who Ron Brown was when he was chairman of the Democratic Party, but he put the party in a position where Bill Clinton could come in and he had a solid base to run from.

Living In China
They got the red book, they got the new look
All the little people that are living in china
They got the answers to all the questions
All the little people that are living in china
The solution is revolution
For all of the little people that are living in china
They got ping pong egg foo yung
For all the little people that are living in china
What would chairman mao say, if he knew what theyre doing to his wife today
What did china do? she ordered out for submarines instead of chinese food
China fields of rice, modern man no longer evil hes a paradise
What did the chairman want?
A great big wall they could all watch orientals on
They got the red book, they got the new look
The little people that are living in china
They got the answers to all the questions
The little people that are living in china
The solution is revolution
For all the little people that are living in china
They got ping pong egg foo yung
All the little people that are living in china
What would chairman mao say
If he knew what his people think of him today
Revolution is out of hand
The gang of four, trying to make it as a western band
China, what do you need
Youve got everything from your scruffy head to dirty feet
China you want to dance
Youre wearing makeup and listening to adam and the ants
They got the new look, they got the red book,
All the little people that are living in china
They got the answers to all the questions
All the little people that are living in china
The solution is revolution
For all the little people that are living in china
They got ping pong egg foo yung
The little people that are living in china
The solution is revolution
They got the answers to all the questions
All the little people that are living in china
China, living in china
China, living in china
China, living in china

The Proceedings
The Committee Members all sat down,
for the Annual General Meeting.
The Chairman stood up and asked if there.
was enough available seating.
He then asked Members were they ready,
to begin the proceedings or not,
Everybody declared that they were,
so he opened it dead on the dot.
Names of those present were written down,
and some apologies accepted.
Then minutes of the previous year,
were read out approved and corrected.
The Treasurer with a concerned face,
declared that they had no more money.
These dyer straights were met with sheer shock,
this situation wasn't funny.
The calling out for more funds did not,
go down well, with the rest of the room.
They thought they had given plenty of,
funds to date, this news was utter doom.
Where had it all gone, we've hardly used,
any of it they loudly did state.
With that the Treasurer then resigned,
but the row did not seem to abate.
Well more cash we'll need, the Chairman said,
if as a group we're to carry on.
We still have to pay up front for things,
we must inform our Trade Union.
The company all came to a hush,
such silence permeated the air.
To have to go to the Union,
this was so shaming and so unfair.
The atmosphere held major tension,
anger was raising its ugly head.
All were talking in furious tones,
flaming tempers were now being fed.
The gathering was then abandoned,
rule sheets were totally forgotten.
We might as well go home and accept,
this Society's downright rotten.

Shouldn't We Be More Republic?
Why is the fight...
For democracy
A vision to be enforced by republicans,
Who have long divorced themselves
From the needs of common people?
They are not democrats at all!
But yet they do not hesitate or stall...
To label them librals!
This they will not confess...
Even complex them in distress!
Shouldn't we all be 'republicans'?
Fighting these endless battles?
Shouldn't we all be 'republicates'
With these issues to harnest and saddle?
'I pledge alligence to the...
...and to the 'republic' for which it stands,
One nation under God,
Seems to have slipped from sliding hands! '
There is something very republic about it...
That markets a democracy it misunderstands!
Democratic they may be...
For poster displays plastered in inner cities!
But 'republicans' true they say they are...
And democracy is pursued!
But none is used by far!
For purpose and content...
Their views aren't worth the trash in cans!
If it is true they move as republicans...
Why is democracy costing lives,
By actions 'republicans' command?
'Repeat that pledge again!
This time in its entirety.'

Big Meeting at the Corporate Office
When a young woman like that
sails into the conference room,
all masts billowing,
there's nothing the men
around the table can do
except take a breath
and wait for her
to settle in her chair,
open her laptop
and fuss for a moment
with some errant hair
before she fixes her stare
on the podium to wait
for the chairman to arrive
and take it from there
if he possibly can.
The chairman won't know
the young woman has said
everything his men
will remember tomorrow
without saying a word.

A Faithful Witness
To the firstborn of Yahseph,
Of all that is created;
To the secondborn of Yahseph,
Do set set your mind on Mount Zion;
For His name is His glory and,
Of the economic well-being.
Of the year of the rat,
Of the year of the dog,
Of the year of the cow,
Of the year of the bull,
Of the year of the sheep,
Of the year of the dragon,
Of the year of the snake,
Of the year of the pig,
Of the year of the goat,
Of the year of the lizard,
Of the year of the crocodile,
Of the year of the elephant,
Of the year of the scorpion,
Of the year of the turtle,
Of the year of the fish,
Of the year of the earth,
Of the year of the wind,
Of the year of the fire,
Of the year of the water,
And of the year of the bush!
Like the firstborns of slaves.
The hips of romance,
The faithful witness will not lie;
The same day,
The same night,
Of the love shared at where no oxen are;
And the crib was very clean.

It's a Great Profession
Once it has been discovered,
Where narrow minds are bred...
Why search for meaningful conversation.
The search itself will be a clue.
They are not accustomed to people speaking
With them!
Just about them!
And the children will run...
Once they see your lips moving,
Without a cellphone attached!
Plus...
Your self confidence is sure to scream,
'Out-Of-Towner'
You are certainly going to get some stares!
These folks don't have identities one would suspect
They should have!
'Oh? And who are you? '
I'm the chairman of the welcoming committee!
I'm assigned to tell all new people the truth!
They look at me in disbelief.
Just like you're looking at me now.
And out of curiousity,
They become part of the population!
And miraculously, it's booming here!
It's unbelievable.
'You're nuts, you know that? '
I know!
I've been told that for years!
It's a great profession!
But...you didn't hear that from me!
Pretend you heard it for the first time...
After you've been here for a while!
I gotta good gig!
I don' wanna spoil it!

If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation.
New Year 2008
As the old year fades
And the New Year comes,
Most hearts and minds
Emotional become.
But thank we must
The Almighty,
For all the good things
That had happened.
Let’s efface the thoughts
Of woes, grief and strife;
Let’s hope the New Year
Will fill in those gaps
With joys and ecstasies.
Let’s all resolve
To lead better lives
As the New Year arrives,
And thank the Lord.
Let’s be soul-wise;
Let’s give up vice;
Let’s heed advice
From people nice.
As New Year unfolds,
Let’s pray to God
To bestow cheer,
All through the New Year.
