We've seen the hubris. And now we're seeing the scandals.

The problem was with Bill Clinton, the scandals and rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting was leading him in the wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out.

It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this.

I think there's a lot of naivete and hubris within our mix of personalities. That's probably our worst crime. I keep wondering what a ""mature"" record means.

Ludicrous vanity
Admittedly encircled
By His might
Yet we appeal
To hubris and pride
He dotes on us
Despite our disgrace, vice
Yet we cling
To revenge and malice

The Court Jester
I can't disguise
the old fool
hubris is the shutter
to the pointing crowd
the emperor with no clothes
shouldn't have left
the ranks of the clowns.

Moral Kiosk
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head
Its so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
They scratch the scandals in the twilight
She was laughing like a horae
Put that knee in dour landslide
Take this step to dash a roving eye
Its so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
(repeat first verse)

Without any intended hubris, I've lead a pretty exciting life. What I've tried to do in Mission Compromised is draw on those experiences to create a sense of excitement and realism within the story.

As so often happens with Washington scandals, it isn't the original scandal that gets people in the most trouble - it's the attempted cover-up.
The United Nations is a mess, riddled with scandals. In fact, the U.N. itself is a scandal.

But even at the height of these scandals, even at the time when our finances were at their worst, the NAACP branches - the grassroots - kept plugging away. They kept doing what they do, and they do it well.

Political Integrity
It seems elected ones have lost integrity
DC, where scandals 'n high crimes abound
Too many politicians' act out abhorrently
Their running Constitution into the ground

Freedom of the press is not questioned when investigative journalism unearths scandals, But that does not mean that every classified state document should be made available to journalists.

When in scandals
So certainly does interest banish
Love and affection, and so easily
Men and women give up honesty
To secure themselves when caught in scandals.

To Manage Handled Scandals
Some handle scandals,
Like they've had them before!
As if to manage handled scandals.
I wont leave my house,
Until I check the back door.
And blow out all the candles,
To lock up safe and to feel secured.
I like a romantic atmosphere.
But with someone that's free of scandal.
A sip of wine with candlelight appearing near.
On a one on one...
That's all I can handle.
Discussing private business,
In the midst of close friends...
Invites the whispering of lips,
Or two.
If any two wish happiness,
They should...
Keep other people distant.
Since people have a tendency to snoop,
And move...
Scandalized unproven scoop,
As they choose.
People have a tendency to snoop,
And move...
Scandalized unproven scoop,
As they choose.
Discussing private business in a group,
Is old news.
But no one wishing happiness,
Should invite gossip.
Since...
People have a tendency to snoop,
And move...
Scandalized unproven scoop,
As they choose.
