The first and last sentences from the following piece are
"Let's put it this way: If the Koch Brothers were Russians, we'd call them oligarchs: grasping barbarians exercising crude political power." and "Americans for Prosperity, indeed."

Gosh

What have you learned in the past few weeks from the biggest saddest downhill racer?


I learned that if everyone had a livable wage, our delicately special system would be as doomed as doomed can be.


Gosh.

Why Did I Even Listen

We love you, Nanci Koschman!
*
You look all twisted. What are you doing, gov?
I am probing myself. I think I will get a nice result.
*
Poisons, Ingestible Plastics, and Bladders of Opportunity.
Press 1 if you know what your party is up to.
Press 2 if you don't like it.
Press 3 if you do not have a button to press.
Disconnect . . . . . .

If "nice" = pleasing agreeable and delightful and if "good" = morally excellent righteous and pious, pick your kind of day.

There are no negative effects from BP's and Duke Energy's and Chevron's leaks into the drinking water, no negative effects as fracking toxins enter the drinking water, none when pipelines leak poison into the drinking water, none as golf courses and the NSA's Utah data center in particular waste the drinking water, none when nuclear accidents spill into the drinking water, and of course none as wealthy hoarders hoard the drinking water.
*
It wasn't even 8 am yet, but I heard the craziest thing. Supposedly, the positive ideals of dignity and freedom are won by using the negative greeds of war. Who is the genius who said that and
why did I even listen?

More Power

If you are going to the World Cup in Brazil, it is recommended you get the following vaccinations: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever. That is one for each arm, one for each leg, and one for your abdomen. Go team!
*
On a positive note: People are having
Good Riddance Phelps parties and loving them.

"Rauner's term-limit plan looks OK, until you read it"

Oops!

Who wants to shoot Timmy Diggs Jr, just for some fun in reverse?
*
A machine power breakfast to bulk up on barbs
What a show of farce for all the Joans and Darbs
For an additional fee
All the powers that be
Will put their brands onto the new dogs' garbs.

And then one day they came for you. Oops!

Sure

Bruce Rauner was born in 1957. The world started going downhill about then.


First, what is that about?


And how do you think he will conduct himself over the next months?


First, I don't know.


And I think he will open mouth and insert foot several times. I think, since the wealthy hoarders have been taking away public schools from the public across the country, the guy will blame the current governor in Illinois. I think, since the wealthy hoarders want to take away programs such as social security from the whole country, he will blame the current governor in Illinois.


Can we set term limits on the lies?


Sure

Pillage and Perjury

Hey, designated young people! Try to be good stats
in the President's portfolio!
*
We depend upon the generosity of the wealthy hoarder class
It works out really great because we're such an ass
Papal's
Or Staples
Two sides aside, whose turn to cut the grass?
*
Powder your pinks and baby your blues
The G put scarey news into sweetum's new shoes
Nuts are as nuts do
Course incorrection without a clue
Crews on call to pay the cruise-loving dues.
*
Probie Juan
Looked kinda wan
From toe-tagging the vics
And forgetting the Vicks
So he quit to have more flan.
*
It is for the babe, the toddler, and the waif
Rich steal from poor to make us all safe
Cameras and lotteries and schools
Gameras and totteries and fools
There's always one more pinnacle to strafe.
*
Maximumly invasive political surgery
To remove the puritan/old con mergery
Because vestiges are useless
While ever so gooseless
During the s.o.p. of pillage and perjury.

Reform the Constitution and Defend Criminals

Did somebody take an oath in a secret meeting to reform the Constitution and defend criminals?

Foot-in-Mouth Disease

We've got "know" choices
Say the pragmatic voices.
*
If "largess" = a generous bestowal of gifts and if "good manners" = a standard of polite behavior, please tell us again, who is against largess and who is against good manners?

Hi, everybody! Goobernatorial candidate here! Are you as proud of my money as I am? Let me tell you, I don't have experience. I don't think before I speak. I don't respect you people. But what the heck! My money is buying your kindest regards, isn't it?
*
Please pass the cheesey peas
Crusted uppers are such a tease
From the self-preserved uncouth
Many eons long in the tooth
Recomes foot-in-mouth disease.

Key Word is "Overpaid"

Dear Mr. Empty Suit,
   You are a student who observes thinking but hasn't tried it yet. And you have acquired a 2-year plan, at least in name only. Who did all of the work on it? Who supplied you with this week's talking point? Who helps you across the street?
Love,
   A Concerned Neighbor

After all these years of working for freedom and democracy, we are now brain-repetitioned repetitioned repetitioned into believing our true calling is to purchase insurance. Thank God we found out before it was too late.
*
Seasoned in the useless, an overpaid politician has little recourse other than to become an overpaid briber for the corporate way,
an overpaid mouther of words, or an overpaid convict. As long as
the key word is "overpaid."

Pretend To Steal It

"Dem powers stoop to smear tactics" by Carol Marin, Chicago Sun-Times

What should I do today besides shovel snow? I know. I'll invest some real money in some pretend money on my computer screen. That has to be profitable, right? I hope nobody will pretend to steal it.

Hypocrites with itty bitty sound bits
Arranged their scheduled hypo fits
Waxing pathetic during February sweeps
With waste managed off-side veeps
Cold-selling had to take some hits.
