Smile to Themselves

Run Run Shaw!
Tiger Claw!
Numbers of Strong!
Mona Fong!

Farmer was a moonseed baby of Langobard and its street. He was sent out into the middle empire to cement a relationship with a virgin named Whisper Brushwood. During the meet, Whisper removed the
r in Brushwood. After the meet, Farmer went home to dabble in subterranean abilities. Both had to smile to themselves.

Those who voted for the destroyers also voted for Pontius Pilate,
Mr. Magoo, and Ronnie the Reagan.

re: bogus verdict in Ferguson Missouri


When 1/4 of 2/3 voted for exactly this result,
and 3/4 of 2/3 sat on their thumbs,
welcome to ugly.

Can Be Gladness

Chosen heroes have feet of clay
Sunshine or not, you know they'll play
The sin of ignorance is nice bliss
Speaking truth gets a frightened dis
Regulate hurt feelings on freedom ain't free bay.
*
Just say no to turkey feathers of sadness
And the 360 degrees of madness
Gnomeland's secret thrills
States and their kills
November family time can be gladness.

Sir?

Food and Water and Water and Food



The political rulers of Fort Lauderdale Florida and Detroit Michigan have something in common. Both want the poor to go away and die. Both found a way to kill without soiling their finger tips. Bonus time is coming. Look your best, political rulers!

Excuse me for my existence and paying for your games and good times, sir, but where would you like this box of fresh recruits? May they be allowed to drink some clean water? What about eat? Sir?

Casually Worn

Ronnie: You give the signal, dear.
Nancy: Okay. No - just say "no"
*If you follow one of the 30 year old trails of scat, it looks like this:
reagan to cia to heroin to hepatitis c to medicaid $$$ to death.

EAR - the Exceptional American Reward - goes out to all those who
abuse the people of the earth and the earth of the people. The reward is made out of mutated corn and can be either eaten or casually worn.

A Tsk and a Wisk

Insurance business is pleased
The peeps are getting herded and squeezed
It's about time
Crusted uppers of crime
Get lawfully eased and breezed.
*
Affairs of state
in an Excited state
the Future state
the Larval state
a Liquid state
Occasions of state
in Quite a state
State the case
State dinner
State of disrepair
State the problem
State of the republic
State of things to come
State your views.
*
A ratio of high payment to low risk
Is the toxic dream of a misty frisk
He'll round-file claims
Play endless games
And remove your spleen with a tsk and a wisk.

Pay For Dinners

We all know republican politicians are independent thinkers and doers. They walk the walk of discussion and compromise. They never criticize or ostracize their fellow republicans for common sense remarks, or empathy while kicking over the ladder, or working for the future well-being of the entire community. They never cheat, they especially never use voter suppression to cheat. So it is no surprise that Jim Parrilli - republican loner and maverick about town in a one man show - acts alone or maybe not.
*
Ungracious winners
are
Loopy spinners
who may
Change their pinners
but always
Let somebody else pay for dinners.

So Prime

Time for round whatever with adolescents in the hall
Can't win without cheating to score actors in a fall
Won't leave it to chance
No profit in that dance
Oh the long shadows of an Ohio bush league et al.
*
Eight years, but do we have the time?
Will it cost our very last dime?
Republican crashes
Require mucho cashes
And bankster interest in a rate so prime.

What Are You Doing To Do?

"Republicans' win big, and now they get to find out what most Americans want." by Rex W. Huppke, Chicago Tribune
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/huppke/


One paragraph from the above article:
   "So, to summarize, a politician in line with the majority of Americans wants to keep Obamacare and find ways to make it work better, let gay and lesbian couples marry, raise the minimum wage, reform our immigration system to give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, institute criminal background checks on gun purchases, ban assault rifles and make it legal to smoke a joint."


Hey Mitch, what are you going to do?

The World's Tiniest Guppy

It is always startling to be reminded 1/4 of 2/3 is an *sshol*.
*
Luckily, next year's governor of Illinois will not be able to pull a KansasBrownbeck because next year's Illinois legislature will not let him. Some of US can be saved from his low ambitions. But evidently the cruel and unusual voter suppression that took place in Chicago on November 4, 2014 is a-okay with the legislature and with MayoRahm.

Miss Anne Thruppy
With hound dogs and a sick puppy
Poetically waxed
When company cards got maxed
After buying off minnows and the world's tiniest guppy.

We Sold Them

The floaters got a soakin'
When boaters paid a token
To sink
Any link
To voters newly broken.
*
1/4 of 2/3 has spoken!
*
Does your uncontrollable frowning have a high disapproval rating?
Are you sad about your politicians' poor mental hygiene and
greed so keen?
So sorry.
*
From The Adventures of Pluto Nash:
"There are no counter measures. We sold them."
