A Consulting Business in Indonesia…

I heard he has an ex-wife in some place called Mayors Income, Tennessee

And he used to have a consulting business in Indonesia

But what’s he building in there?

He has no friends but he gets a lot of mail

I bet he spent a little time in jail

And what’s that tune he’s always whistling?

What’s he building in there?

What’s he building in there?

We have a right to know

–Tom Waits, “What’s He Building?”, Mule Variations

Mike McIntire has a great investigative piece in the New York Times about how the Tea Party-allied Institute for Liberty became a front group for the Indonesian pulp and palm oil interests.
