The Terror, Explained.

THE TERROR, EXPLAINED

   It sports no Danton or Marat
   Yet plots in any habitat.
   Headless and tailless as The Blob
   McQueen confronted, it's a job
   Beyond the competence of Dems,
   Whose rude asides and sly ahems
   Confirm the only guy with push--
   Elbows included-is George Bush.

--W. H. VON DREELE
