Through Your Bluff

Hey Daley clan! Don't be scared of the human stuff!
Good health, public education, and livable wages
are only the beginnings of barely enough!
Your pockets are already lined
With solid gold that'll be left behind.
Of course it'll all work - right on through your bluff!

Good Yields





Police Brutality (remember that phrase?)

Richland County Deputy Sheriff and bully on steroids, Ben Fields
Has a history of attacking and hiding behind shields.
If he can no longer harm the young
To move up a rung,
Rehab and a lifetime of restitution will teach
what the power of good yields
Even, that is, when students disobey the rules.

Rabies in Steerage

The U.S. 90% Incompetency Rate

Targeted killings are only 10% accurate.

They're happy with that because drones are stupid.

So are the killers.

But who cares

As long as their smiles are bleached and they bought
somebody else's wit.

*
Benson Mum Carson
Takes care of the house, a star's son,
Obsequious
And less obvious
Than one snake salesman or a phony parson.
*

250 world capitalists sat in the aberration tree

B-L-I-SS-I-N-G

First came shoves

Then came a peerage

Then came gifts of rabies in steerage.

A Nice Day

Hackers prevent secrets from being "lost to history." It's what they do. Court secrets and privatized government snoopers are never safe. Have a nice day.

Accidental Knowledge

USA! USA! Number 1 in deaths by bullets!
USA! USA! Number 1 in murder by police!
USA! USA! Number 1 in torture by solitary confinement!
USA! USA! Mediocre and inferior in important areas such as schooling and infant mortality and livable wages and the Golden Rule.
Yay! Yay! USA!

If wishes made you President, what statesman-like thing would you say?
Blah, blah, blah.
*
The U.N. says 15-30 days; the U.S. says 15-30 years.
It's about the 100,000+ in solitary confinement. It's about tears.
But 100,000+ is a low estimate.
And our specialness might take a hit.
It's about a war on solitary's religious services. Have some more beers.
*
An occidental pol hedge
And his incidental moll wedge
Betted and lied
Sweated and cried
In their hopeless struggle against accidental knowledge.

On That We Agree

A few articles from Sidney Blumenthal at Salon.com

In our opposite world, the Benghazi Hunt Club is represented by Nap, a figure with the head, chest, and front legs of a goat and the back legs and ears of a man. He is the destroyer of forests, pastures, animals, and people. He is Nap of the Hunt.

At long last representative, have you no shame?

Harold's tray of pan dowdys with it's own on we (ennui)
Is lingering lingering and it sure ain't free.
Hurting to accuse,
Blurting to abuse.
Yesterday's non seq, on that we agree.

Dangerous Fools

It's a dead end, kid.
Okay! Then I'll take the bid,
Cause I'm your genius, your thinker,
Your small c stinker -
A current and ongoing pro at the quid.
*
An open letter to the House Benghazi Committee:
You owe Hillary Clinton an apology and you owe the American people approximately 5 million dollars. You are fools, dangerous fools.
Love, me

You and Me

Recently pope-asized St. Joe B
Loves everybody but students and his own achy knee.
Sometimes lightweights
Aren't worth the waits
While Planned Parenthood helps cancer research for you and me.

Smart

Mr. President, As the public salesman for the corporate bosses who are pleased but never satisfied, which time of year do you think cesspools are most inviting? A voter

The crash of 2008 was aided and abetted by mega banks. Now that those banks are super hugely mega, will the coming crash be super hugely mega also?

The wonderful thing about research using smart phones is that it can help everyone get smart about people we've never met and places we've never been and political ideas we've never thought about before. Learning at our own pace is smart.

Reading and Writing

Monsanto's mutated seeds sell nothing more than one season's growth. Monsanto is the opposite of what humanity needs to survive. Yet here it still is, part of the TPP and bullying small farmers.

The Koch brothers' Freedom Caucus,
A big empty except for its raucous
And harsh voice
Which promotes anti-people choice,
And requires deadening by the rod of whine, Mr. Baucus.

Entitles the marching flag pin bearer

Sometimes a weekend pass entitles a person to
lots of reading and writing.

A Weekend Pass

Of course Bernie is not a pinko,
Although der Trumpf is an ass
Who bought a Chinese ginkgo
When he couldn't buy any class.
Which one uses national socialist lingo,
And which is as durable and useful as brass?
An easy remedy for the Donald's jingo
Is to feel the Bern and give ourselves a weekend pass.

Reality So Rough

Fair or Con

He fought personal poverty with his bucket list of buckets.

Did anyone throw in some gold teeth or nuggets?

The "pied piper of bigotry"

Made a speech. It wasn't free.

But this time there were smaller hauls and bigger _uck its.

*

No! No! Say it isn't so.

We're so great! Don't harsh the glow.

Because if we're not,

What have we got

Besides false pride and fast foods and all our bullets in a row?

*

Oooo! Oooo! Scarey stuff!

You mean we can never learn enough

From places such as Canada or Sweden or Denmark?

But tender feelings want a lark in the park

And sometimes truth makes a reality so rough.

"Bernie Won All the Focus Groups & Online Polls, So Why Is the Media Saying Hillary Won the Debate?" by Adam Johnson, AlterNet

First reactions to the first debate:
Mr. Sanders - What's not to like?
Mrs. Clinton - She gets it from all sides, doesn't she?
I'd like to see her in Bernie's Cabinet.
Mr. Chafee - Wants a clean environment, Bernie's Cabinet.
Mr. O'Malley - Wants to clean up the electric grid,
Bernie's Cabinet.
Mr. Webb - Honest, capable, a Marine, Bernie's Cabinet.

Try To Hide

Trans Pacific Partnership

TPP

The TPP is a treaty dressed in a different label!

Which means it should require 2/3 of the stable

In the Senate alone-

Another gun free zone.

Any benefit to the U.S. worker is a fable.

*

Dear MayoRahm, It is amazing how you pick the correct comptrollers to speed up the destruction of the Chicago Public Schools. Don't tell us the next one is Arnie Duncan because he doesn't like public school students either. Love, Me

*

If gun safety and counting murders-by-gun are too scarey a subject for politicians (Wait a minute. Is Loretta Lynch, U.S.Attorney General, one of them?) bribed by the NRA and mental illness is their preferred subject, let's talk about the mental illness of continuous wars against people who are not white, especially those who are poor.

*

Of course when you accept bribes from people,
you have to do what they say or try to hide.

There Has To Be a Way

Pro-civilian air strikes
Make great talking points. iYikes!
And great p r
Near and far
Prompting countless likeable likes.
*
At long last, B.J., have you no heart?
Ugly is as ugly does, you do play your part.
Repugnant for a mention,
Offensive for attention.
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 -
