Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight

"Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has said that China has evidence linking the Dalai Lama to the deadly unrest against Chinese rule in Tibet, as he accused protesters of trying to sabotage the Beijing Olympics."

I'm sure he's got a little list as well.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs —
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs —
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat —
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that —
And all third persons who on spoiling tête-á-têtes insist —
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
