Optimus Prime joins the fight. At least now we won’t have to worry about that stragetic alliance between Saddam Hussein and the Decepticons.

Smokes crack — he
Talks smack — we
Fight back — we

(And Blair’s got our back)
To keep us on track
To the oil that’s black
Like Dick Cheney’s heart.
But, apparently, you’ve gotta get up pretty early in the morning to outfox those pro-war poets. “Perhaps you meant to send this to Poets Against the War?” they asked. Shucks, foiled again.
