I'm afraid this fails to catch the silly, wacky, zany, childishness of the original parody. It fails to amplify that spirit of the original parody, but uses only its structure and, of course, the structure of the OS. It is the usual rehash of what the cable channels call "breaking news." That is my opinion. I'm sure the anonymous crowd will give you straight 5s in abundance. No score from me.

LC, what's your problem? I took that incoherent stream of consciousness and aligned it with current politics. So what if it contains news? Lots of authors here write about politics and other news events, yet you feel that you have to single me out for some reason. Btw, HC's version did not follow the OS structure. He hacked up the verses and didn't match the rhymes. Pacing totally off. I'm just using his song structure loosely and mocking his opening. Nobody has hit Dr. Ben Carson yet on his controversial comnents, so I chose that as topic. I added Trump's birther comment as closing remark. If you can do better, then do so. As for the 5s, I don't control voting here. Lots of authors get dozens of votes with little to no comments. Try TCOP, Matthias, etc... it varies.

Dr Carson's favorable ratings have increased since his remarks. Odd, that the left denounces a religion whose "intolerant" adherents refuse to issue two gays a marriage license, while overlooking a religion whose followers throw homosexuals off the roofs of tall buildings. True, when the time finally arrives, a lot of those "feminazi" women will look a whole lot better in burqas.

Carson has dropped to third due to a poor debate performance and Carly's outstanding performance. Trump lost 4% but is still on top. It is totally disappointing that Jeb Bush falls flat no matter what he does. Even Rubio passed him up! Dr. Carson is too soft spoken and is seen as a potentially weak CIC because he prefers talk to action. I personally doubt he will survive the long run. Nice guy, but REPs need a man of action against Russia, Iran, China, N Korea, Syria, and the Califate! Add Mexico for the border...
