So on the 18th they blacked out

Using their incredible clout

To highlight an issue they claim

But censor and kill the Internet for good

And the public would protest if they understood

In protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act, prominent websites either shut down or displayed messages against the proposed bill in Congress.

John Huntsman drops out

Who decided it would be good if a moderate ran

But was rejected by the base

And know his candidacy is thrown in the can

Huntsman dropped out of the Republican presidential primary on Monday.

And the White House said "OK"

The Obama administration rejected the Keystone XXL pipeline; a proposed oil pipeline from Canada to the United States that many environmentalists claimed would have disastrous consequences
