A Village

The "supreme" Court has no authority, no Constitutional authority to create laws
Though it does have the power to claw lunch apart & put it into its jaws
This radical court fringe
Is on a right wing binge
Of illegal legislation from a bench held up with monkey paws.

Robot-assisted-by-doctor prostate exploratory
Will be filmed and narrated by the finest oratory
If it works out,
Robot will give a shout
Any extra parts will be dissected in the laboratory.

Ben Dover displayed but Miss O'Nee-ism is not a fan
Then he hawked her wares from an armored van
Nibble rules
From the dribble tools
An insurance salesman making money for the can.

Dear Federal Suggestion Box:
   We are a small village of 8000. We are almost 1/3 Black almost 1/3 Spanish-speaking almost 1/3 White with 1/100 designated as other. We want to waste money and insult people just as you do. Have you any casual summer ways for us to do that so that afterwards we could say we didn't do it on puuurpose?
Love, it really does take a village.


Dear It Really Does Take A Village:
   You should never make a move or think about making a move without asking us first so you did the right thing. 
Have a series of concerts. Start out with a 50-60 year old white band. Finish off with a grand finale of Beatles impersonators. Wasteful and insulting as you requested, with loud thrown in for good measure.
With great respect, the Federal Suggestion Box


Dear FSB:
   Thank you. That is why you guys are the feds and we are a village.

Polluting Mowers

"How Walmart Threatens Organic Food
The Store's Wild Oats brand won't sow sustainability"
by Arun Gupta, In These Times


http://inthesetimes.com/article/16785/how_walmart_threatens_organic_food


". . . pushing farms to relocate to unregulated regions abroad while undermining organic standards at home."


Yes, it is nice that the Clintons are big fans of
both Walmart and the Bible.
It is nice for everybody, especially the Bible.i

Grass and lawns are a tradition of British castles, intended and used to see righteous anger coming at them. We still copy that tradition today. We need more fruit trees and nut trees, more vegetable gardens, more herbs, more beautiful flowers, more rain barrels. Lawns are basically useless for holding much water. Lawns are worthless in todays weather changing world. Okay, lawns are useless and worthless. And what about the polluting mowers?

Things Are That Lean

The movement of children is the original part of Plan A, the true guest worker program in the American global economy.
*
Don't be a tool.
". . . They may not make it" when children flee to safety is still better odds than they won't make it if they stay home. Besides, don't you really want to send them to Kentucky or Tennessee to pick that stuff that poisons the pickers and gives cancer to the users? Send the ones who don't need so much water and who have the best finger muscles. So many fences, so many prisons, so many guest workers.

Life is so simple when you don't know what you're talking about
quoted the "warfare queen."
50 shades of hoar sessions eating grahams and that is so mean.
Kill! Kill! Kill! spew the few.
We've plenty for that, yes we do.
But nothing for schools, bridges, & roads - things are that lean.

There are still a few micro-thinkers stuck on the Benghazi channel. There is no help for them, no respite. Extreme therapy camp may be

The Greatest

I have a 2 part question -
But first, the American global corporations and the United States government have supported repressive regimes in countries such as Honduras and Guatemala for many many decades and they continue to do so. They continue to support the corrupt military and police in those countries. They continue to support human rights abuses. They support the destruction of the economies. They continue to support genocide and plain ordinary murders. They continue to support the protection of drug traffickers.
Here is the question - Why does the U.S. Federal Dept of HoSe (DHS) pretend it does not know why so many Honduran and Guatemalan children are fleeing, and why did a representative of the DeHoSe dare to threaten the children's parents?
So, great country or the greatest?

Somewhere Else

Speaking of sedition, terrorism, and salary reimbursement, John Boehner gets his empty calories from ethyl alcohol, his lifetime maintenance drug. It helps him to talk or to talk and cry at the
same time, depending on the festivities. Where did his insane
racism come from?

John Barrasso - is he best boy of the keystone kochs and does

Seven Level Wipe

Their selfie ad was a pasquinade, a public lampoon of themselves. They were a gothic father and daughter team from the Middle Ages, barbarous and with grotesque natures. He wore a self-standing vest and a giant hat to mask his weaknesses. She remained by his side, frozen for all eternity. They had all the curb appeal of coat hangers and the warmth of ice cubes. They gave a laugh. Thanks.

The House of Saud really is the number one and number two enemy of the American global imperialists, no matter who holds hands with who or who is in bed with who. But hey, business is just business.

When it comes to illegal invasions of sovereign nations, we cannot believe a thing John McCain says. He hates everyone, one country at a time. Is he filled with everyday ordinary anger, or is it the all-consuming rage of PTSD? We don't know because he refuses to get help.

Months

Rick Perry from the withering state of Texas is so pro life that he has made sure that unborn Texas babies have the least access to pre-natal care than any other state. He says the least he can do is a weakness in his character, a flaw if you will. He claims if he never had the desire for post mortem adulation he would not be in the spot he's in now and for the next 7 months.

Insipient Aims

"Hillary stands for people who are 'dead broke' but also have multiple homes." a quote from John Kass in today's Chicago Tribune. I would add this - Hillary was really speaking only to those with multiple homes when she used the old rags to riches we did good "business" story. She was flashing the Clinton credentials, their membership in the movers and shakers club without a party. And the rest of us happened to overhear.

The dinosaurs' extinction is direct proof there are soul-sick puppies doing speaking gigs on the House floor. Parallel universes have finally met, the shortest distance between 2 pointed heads is by way of a crooked crook, and the space between one's ears is more than slightly infinite. We have landed on the Isle of Wak.

A Peak

When, for the first time he publicly shot an associate in the face, the old mobster signaled an end to his closet dealings and a beginning to his meetings inside walk-in safes, which led to cement crypt symposiums, and so on. If any place had foot-thick walls and faces asking for some pain, he was there. Sometimes he thinks he still is.

The wormhole of futures gave US a peak.

"Hitler Lives?", 1945
It is 17 minutes long. The first 13 minutes are harsh and
