Changed

"Steinberg: Chicago Police are too quick to shoot" by Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times
http://chicago.suntimes.com/neil-steinberg/7/71/1213056/steinberg-chicago-police-shootings-bettie-jones


   "Because of this, the police in urban areas are accustomed to doing whatever they like, without consequences --- again, for them --- lying their way out of the rare tight spot. Like all unchecked power, it corrupted them, so that when Mr. iPhone Camera came along, the public didn't like what it saw, while it is all the police can do not to ruffle indignantly that their terms of employment had changed."

Meaningful Change

"Opinion: A moment that could bring meaningful change"
by Michael Eaddy
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/7/71/1205038/opinion-moment-bring-meaningful-change

To the Stars

A shameless nameless tower
Sat on a fameless blameless flower.
After the predator was belled
And something was expelled,
The gameless became less disempowered.
*
Words: Keystone pipeline, Alberta Clipper, Line 67.
Watch out for those words, they're killers
*
All the yesterdays, all the Abibs to Adars
Never prepared US for f_x heads in jars,
Hungry hordes,
Or wasser boards.
We're best at gourds sold as lords & pollution to the stars.

"Sanders of the River" written in 1911 by Edgar Wallace (1875-1932)

Compare Them

Orders are orders, even for a fool
Who's been using every wrong tool
On a gender bender
And policy extender -
You know, the bee at the water-people's school.
*
Nobody likes liars or cheats or liars who cheat.
*
Voting for someone because your gender is the same is genius!

If KAK = Koch Adelson Koch

3 Oldest Grinds

Criminals do not want independent oversight. Right, Wisconsin?
*
Substitutional justification
Simplificational vilification
Apparently aberrant
yet
Inherently errant
Calcificational deification.
*

What if

Ryken's actions say he is one of the lost.
That means everlasting punishment with the opposite of frost.
Right. What if he is automatically forgiven,
Thus getting justified into heaven
And somehow somewhere misdirecting the cost.
*
There was no 12-belief violation,
Only more fear in the scared population.
Fear feeds ugly
And prompts the opposite of snuggly.
Surely mercy and truth are in on the jubilation.
*
Orchestra leaders say terror is foremost on their minds
And their brand of crazy talk is the tie that binds
DuPont and Dow
Monsanto and how
Pre-approved and never paid by the 3 oldest grinds.

Our Final Goal

God bless Larycia Hawkins. She is also in solidarity
with Mary, mother of Jesus.

Is the NRA really the IRA - the International Rifle Association and does it give bribes to Russian politicians? What is it's final goal?

Frankenstein's smarts get out of control

Alberta clipper
Sack the ripper
Guns on the dole. What is our final goal?

No.

Grand

Scotland, his mother's home country, is ashamed.


Der Trumpf's rhetorical hysteria

Ass sets of a pre vert

"We were all orphans in Zombieland."
We had the right to app any band

Doesn't Change Come Quick

Mitch, contracted man bitch
Has got a gluttony itch
Your basic gimme gimme core
A smiley face to die for
And enough bribe $$ to land US in a ditch.

Who wears Lindt in place of a belly button?
On his head he sports a slice of mutton
He adds carbon monoxide to his brand
Sanitizer to hoof and hand.
What an introvert, almost a shut in.

Ever transparent as a Chicago brick,
Self-serving dishonesty has him up a crick.
Fixing things would be work!
Making them better is a perk
Of doing one's j-o-b. Doesn't change come quick.

Though some reps are in tatters.

Oh those unions, workers, and their work
Causing the corporate subsidies to go berserk.
Shopping is a disposable cure
For the unsure on a spending tour.
Are we trash or treasure? Have to ask a clerk.

In the grand scheme of history, who remembers a fart?
*
Self-headhunted, then handpicked for position of boss of the globe
It was past time for the fall snoopathons to ride out on a probe
As said, not done
Not another run
Water into mud, sand blast for quakes, lead poisoning,
and pains in the lobe.
*
I high I.Q. and little common sense
Make for a weary doctor dents
Eggs get cracked
Wannabes get sacked
Neuroblasts from the past can make us tense.
*
Can't we work on collecting these torrential rainwaters and shipping them to California and other areas of drought? There has to be a way.

Cumbersomes

Oops, a hospital. War crime or just bombing the sh_t out of stuff?
*
Lease the U.S. pie after false profits bought 'er
Everyone is on meds and peeing in the toxic fluoride water
Tax equals payment for use
Pay your own way, rich deuce
And clean up your way for your daughter's daughter's daughter.
*
Jingo bugs of mendacious plumberyums
Tiny mugs of credulous slumberbums
And that space between
Both sides of the neck and spleen
Big jugs of pendulous cumbersomes.

The Coldest Fusion

Since our beginnings, sanctions have been one of the 4 foundation cornerstones of the United States government. The other 3 are doing terrible things to peoples' bodies, murder, and let's think about something else.
*
They hardly notice divided scruples in the pupils,
The power of moms or qualms regarding the bombs,
Or even compunctions about who attends political functions.
Always and all ways they have misgivings about life and its livings.
*
As long as it'll hurt, he's all for a goosin'
He's cruzin' to give or get a bruisin'
The evil of flat nothingness won't hear your cries
No one should look for answers in his I's
Fire ants and dry ice in the coldest fusion.

Common Sense Gun Safety

The Second Amendment Freedom Fee on Jackets,
Full metal or otherwise, is explained in the freedom packets.
It is a small step,
Never infringing on the amendment's rep,
Never alarming any of the brackets.
I wish.
*
If only Benghazi was located within the United States. Then all the politicians who are bribed by the NRA would ignore - as usual - the people who are murdered and the majority who need common sense gun safety.

Sand

If Kevin McCarthy (or Tres Gaudy) is concerned
about a coming ethics charge,
And climate change can turn a home into a barge,
Or into sand,
Sell us a hand
To clap for an unprivileged belligerent named Marge.
*
Truth is Banned - Laughter is Canned - Flames are Fanned -
Back of the Hand - Wreck the Land - Sadly Unmanned -
Demented for A Rand - Heads in the Sand.

A Jumble

Aonghus Og, god of loves
Sent out 392 peace doves -
A pair to each country,
Special friendships in a tree.
It was a great day for us and the aboves.
*
With a glass chin and brittle shins
And hairs that fall into dust bins,
The bullish bravado
And crazy communicado
Are the distraction, along with the wins.
*
The Pope, "he rolls humble."
Sometimes his meanings might be a jumble.

To Glean

Gold stars
Impossible pars
Estates on Mars
Heads in jars
Life-killing cars
Count the bars
*
Instead of wearing high heels she married one
He offered up sacrifices to be the third one who won
Bundles of sticks
Tents replacing bricks
Put it down to crowns looking for some fun.
*
BS&S direct to the selling screen
Ancient and listening and keen to be queen
Illegal snooping for the selected one
Funny part is - it'll never be done
There's always another tidbit or recipe to glean.

Caide Lagaios Na Fir?

Johann, Giovanni, John, and Juan
Were equal partners with a con named Ron
Along came Frankie the free
With tears for them and me
Old bets are new bets on a brand new Don
*
A question for Caoimhin Mac Cartay,
cork-in-waiting of the American Nabilat:
Caide lagaios na fir?

In Arrears

We may only pick one:
Love thy neighbor as Jesus
or
Kill thy neighbor as Junipero.
*
Bi-polar messaging over 2000 years
Got pretty expert and created many careers
Kept the peeps guessing
Communing and confessing
While all the heads were more than slightly in arrears.

Be Happy

Read the Constitution, Dr. Ben. It'll take less time than prepping for surgery. Who would have thought you would reach your level of incompetence and be welcomed into the dummy down club.
*

Nobody Remembers Solitary Confinement

The ghetto or the rez
A baseball cap or a fez
Believe f_x at your peril
Faith in your own mind is natural and feral
Do what common sense and the common good sez.
*
If you speak Jeberish and the headlights are "momentarily" bewildering, blink a little bit and don't worry, be happy.

Pope Francis and Bernie Sanders

Hope enhances the journey and its grandeurs.

Wanting to be heroic makes their truth-o-meters go berserk.

The City

Saying United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
Those words made her that saddy.

*
One paragraph from Kathleen Parker in the Chicago Tribune, Sept 3, 2015:
"Genius. Trump is a human handler extraordinaire - the jet-set equivalent of the blackhatted fellow who wheeled his cart into tumbleweed towns. He doesn't just sell snake oil. He milks the venom from the gathering throng of willing believers, then bottles it up and sells it right back to them. Delicious with raw meat."
and
Half of a paragraph from Steve Chapman in the Chicago Tribune, Sept 3, 2015:
"Donald Trump is doing so well because he exploits racial anxieties without ever raising them directly. He complains we are 'losing our country,' ridicules 'political correctness,' accuses Mexicans of 'bringing crime' and claims to represent the 'silent majority.' All these themes are designed to appeal to white resentments and fear of minorities."
*
Unregulated capitalists running amok,
Those they bribe, and one skinny duck

While shortcuts self scored in the muck.

"To treat where it hurts, one must first acknowledge that it still hurts, something conservatives often find hard to do because it gives the lie to their self-congratulatory balloon juice about how this country has overcome its founding sin." - Leonard Pitts, 08/24/15, Chicago Sun-Times

The Foam

Some questions:
Is S.E.Cupp the Sarah Palin of 2015?
Which Delaware judges are part of
the pedophile underground network
and which Delaware judges are not?
Why did billions gain wait time and again?

Undecided Maybe Syndrome
Occurs within a cranial bio dome
Having much empty space
Behind a lead-filled face
And a compulsion to be the foam.

"Business" of Death

"Publicly-funded, non-private, Congressional and campaign records which reflect the expenditure of public funds" are mine! mine! mine! yelled $chock the thief.

Plead the 5th or not, former hunk, but kindly keep it brief,

Said the law.

You're startin' to stick in everyone's craw,

Unless of course that arm of yours can bring you some relief.

Starve a Rock Feed a Crock

For one reason or another, Illinois crooks and Texas crooks bonded many decades ago. From common law to outside the law, from water droughts to political clouts, they have shared many things. Now they want to die together, helping each other breathe glass, chew water, and quake the earth to a fault. They call it the "business" of death.

The Politicals

Jared needs a distraction from society and its mores. Perhaps he will move to Delaware when he gets out. Or perhaps he will become a governor or a senator or a judge.

Human bones in a pink slipper
Rumors about the little dipper
Secret friends
Give the bends
To a really good tipper.

After the
Interpretive dance of unseen intangibles
Comes the
Trickle down of accidental beneficials
Woo hoo!
Nothing new
And who gets to nicen up the politicals?

Wake Up!

What a nightmare in cartoon form!
   Der Donald Trumpf became his party's nominee. He chose the Kochs' boy Scott Walker as his running mate. It looked like the perfect marriage of sadist and masochist. One was blind and the other couldn't see their only mandate was to alleviate the sufferings of others. Oh too bad for the rest of us. Voting day was a beautiful one. It was a perfect day for crooks and their trumped up machines. After Donald won, he quit, sold the business to the next guy, and a couple or three people got what they wanted.
Wake up, wake up!

Guantanamo Bay

Do you love the socialist or the fascist more?
Labels labels: either or
All for one
and
One for all
Labels labels: give us more.
*
Senator Sanders wears glasses. Is he against those who don't? His initials are B.S. - what is that about? Why have his political positions remained constant and his words so steady and true over the years? Is his hair too bright or not bright enough? Bernie means "bear-like warrior." Is he avoiding that subject because some people are afraid of bears? Who takes over while he is hibernating? Would Bernie Sanders be proud to be the leader of the U.S. military, our largest socialist organization?
*
Talk good and do bad. Hey, it's the way.
What was that promise the other day?
Something about habeas corpus -
Next time you see it, give it a kiss

Choices

Driven to Desperation by a "System," which is a 523 year old fossilized American brand, we still have choices to make. First, do we pay for this ride with food money or water money. Second, do we stay in Desperation or move on. Should we leave the puritans to work on their own skins while we save ours. Choices.

What does he know about Mrs.Flanders?
What about Bernie Sanders?

Once upon a time there was a man: a forest, some clay, and a pool.

Wrecked Everything

"Trump on the border" by Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times
http://chicago.suntimes.com/neil-steinberg/7/71/824667/trump-campaign-philosophy-baseball-cap


"   Once America was Eden. The country was filled with white Protestant pilgrims and they ran the show and everything was fine. Then came The Fall, the arrival of the people who didn't belong and who wrecked everything."

Chewed on the Scenery

Predatory banks are out on bail,
Too crooked for anything but fail.
What a mummer
Of a summer,
Need to know only. Who hooked the biggest whale?
*
Projectile words hit the wall.
Some stick, some are fearfully small.
Blank your mind.
Who will be fined,
Dangerously unspined and put out in the mall?
*
A merry group rewrote their public anthem while climbing up Mt. Etna. Saucers of alcohol medicaided their mirth. Blues crossed and penetrated their shields on very rare occasions. They protected their services with service protection insurance and shared shares insurance and other kinds of insurances, and they assured us they would never ever quit unless they were slightly displeased with the profit margins of better health. They played monopoly and sent us cheerful instructions for our own good on how to live, while they also played dodgeball and chewed on the scenery.

A Mortar

Goldman Sachs, embedded in the White House and the first of the predatory lenders to begin the povertization of Greece - the birthplace of Democracy, asked
Wasn't the world beautiful back in the day?
Who brought the sparks to toxic tea bay?
Wait, why are you looking back
At accidents on some fast track?
Will you cut to the lateral with us and believe anything we say?
*
Things are not always what they seem
Often they're within an ephemeral beam
Of light so fine -
Yours and mine.
Crystallized communications attending to every meme.

Spurn and pound! not necessarily in that order.
Burn and astound! add height to the border.
The lie is the thing.
Downtime when you sing.
Turn around! Look at me! I'm waltzing with a mortar.

Each adult who is anti-abortion and anti-birth control for other people should pay for the lifetime of good health and education of one poor child. Otherwise, who the hell do you think you are?
*
Governors are people too.
_ssholes are people too.
Pedophiles are people too.
What if someone is all three?
What if that someone is controlled by others and they have pictures? What if they all want to be one big President together and they don't like US?

Better modern living through chemistry
Looking into the abyss, stopping to kiss a tree
Girding rats

I - I - I

I will be a combatant in the war on incompetence. I'll probably need some help with that one. I'll have 1 person do the work of 3. That person won't need as much help as I will. I will rein in arrogance and replace it with insolence and disdain. I will rewrite the Constitution line by line. I will force 1/3 to equal 1/10. I will take bribery out of the lobby and put it in a private room. I will schedule the real estate market to crash after I leave office. And that is just my first day.

Jazzed Brain Too

Okay. I'll go over Plan A once more. We fault retired workers for their existence and their desire to eat. We blame those who unite and unionize to protect themselves against us and our kind. We charge the homeless, the physically-challenged, and all the special people with special needs with wanting subsidies we will not give. As we become a smaller and smaller minority, we make bigger abuses, whatever it takes. Any questions? No discussion!

Picking Out Gifts

Maybe what appeared on the selling screen to be instant rapport between the Obamas and the Sarkozys was only the result of information scooping and snooping pre-first meeting, not literal friendship. How sad, but so helpful when picking out gifts.

There are over 300 FEC-registered Presidential candidates. Here is a baker's dozen of the hand-picked media favorites & random thoughts:

Donald Trump - you and your id have a great stream of consciousness thing going

George Pataki - hi, George

Jeb BUSH - bush bush bush . . .

Lindsey Graham - seersucker fear_ucker

Marco Rubio - Marco!

Mike Huckabee - opportunity is always knockin'

Rand Paul - run, Paul, run!

Rick Perry - carry a tiny book and try to appear thoughtful

Rick Santorum - oh Rick

Talons are dated and out. The claw hammer will be paid for and is in. The hammer part of the claw hammer is a hardened slushfund of the kochs and their heads. The claw part is comprised of 5 interchangeable digits or ciphers. Everything begins and ends in the dust under the bushes. Start with Jack the pollex, the thumb in the security wall of continuity. Next is the ring finger of nibelung, Uncredible Tooz. Enough said. The claw in the middle of it all is Pandy Rawl, the messenger finger to libertines everywhere. Next we have the index claw that points arsonists for freedom in the right direction. Last and least is the pinkie - he who walks in the extremity, he who is the terminus of something that was fine.
