The word sounds like it could also be the name of some jungle dwelling animal-a small lemur or monkey...
Speaking of Libyan violence
Obama assumes his usual pose-
A distant, marmoreal attitude
As he gazes down his nose
He reads from his teleprompter
A speech we recognize as stock
And turns on the phony empathy
As he keeps one eye on the clock
He’s got to be in Vegas today,
There’s no time to be concerned-
He’s too busy with his campaign
To mend bridges he has burned
A+++
Excellent.
