Ask a Clerk

Front Page Caring 

Mag mile matters
To MayoRahm and the mad hatters.
People do too.
Sure they do,
Though some reps are in tatters.
But the wallets are fine
For the wine and dine,
The clubs of business,
The business of clubs,
and the pr time to mock the line.
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.

Anything Goes

Jumping on board the movement against rational thought, the conductor steered the primitives' return trip to the intersection of Big Daddy's Bitterness and Anything Goes.

Endless Loop

Can you match the quote to a campaigner?
1. "He's a pain in the arse, from a long line of pains in the arse."
2. "If youngest means best, then yeah, he's our best."
3. "He wasn't born here, but that is not what makes him so dangerous."
*
King of der trumpfery and bluff,
One Calvin Luther Ruff,
is
Showy and worthless,
Blowy and mirthless,
A flour pudding. Hateful ugly has him by the scruff.
*
When a society such as ours or Belgium's or Saudi Arabia's
isolates and neglects a group,
The s.o.p. is to make everyone into a dupe.
But "can't someone else do it?"
They can and do, maybe from a how-to kit.
How else to explain abuse in an endless loop?
*
And while the private corporations overcharge for "security" and have reached their current level of incompetence, it is the true polar point.

That's the Rule

Which Presidential campaigner is the son of an immigrant
and
was known for doing his own extermination work?
*
A cotillion of partners and favors
Devolved from old spelunking cavers.
The orally manipulated
by the
Morally pustulated
Twisted arms wrapped in oily waivers.
*

When Yawns Can Cling

A german vole Zin
Traded for mysteries and a shark fin
Or two
In the land of moo.
Prior labors got a kick in the shin.
*
Everyone can or cannot be a fool.
Everyone could or could not be a tool.
Everyone may or may not be cool.
Everyone might or might not be a stool.
Everyone will or will not be a jewel
in the shimmering silver pool.
That's the rule.

Nobody Wins

Understanding nothing of geography or maps
Or politics or foreign policy or cool raps,
Sleepy cheeks
Lasted many weeks.
Then it came: guys, go put a cap on our naps.
*

Thoughts of Payback are a _itch

The puritans fear that this time the Syrians will
make them feel their own red skins.
What about - everybody is related, all are kins?
What?
Shut!
Your minds. That way nobody wins.

Don't Get Wheezy

Syrians Seek Refuge From the Death Cult of Daesh
But
christians Stage a War on Their Own Ideals

Daesh (ISIS, ISL) is a death cult of terrorists.
Might Allah prefer kinder hearts and more florists,
Adding beauty
To life's duty
Of the Golden Rule? We are still earth's stiff-necked tourists.
*
Around here, we call gusts of 47 mph "breezy."
Walk into them slow and easy
Using Rahm's head-butting stance.
Wear layers and layers from top down to pants.
Breathe thru your nose. Don't get wheezy.

Be Like That

re: Syrian refugees and International law


Bruce Rauner is an embarrassment.
_ssholes can be like that.

Stop Lying!

Contained = held within fixed limits, kept within proper bounds


Dear Mr. President, Stop lying!

Words and More Words

Public opinions are the world courts
Barbed wire forts
Too many morts
Convenient Syrian passports
Communication with quartz
It takes all sorts
Isl the torts
Heal the warts
*
When snooping on everyone everywhere isn't enough and drones killing anyone anywhere aren't enough and years and years of preparing and practicing aren't enough, the guys in charge always have words, words like "contained" and more words.

The Oddly Bent

How did Bruce Rauner bribe Ken Dunkin? Who is Dunkin's replacement?
*
Did you know that playing card games for money is a skill? It is not gambling, just like betting on fantasy football is not gambling.

CIA Slush Funds

or

The Pentagon's Average Business Day

In Iraq they've gone from pallets of disappeared money to a gas station of disappeared money. Progress?

Flipping Doesn't Always Mean Housing

or

Sometimes Flipping Means Numbers and Vote Counts

Which states other than Illinois and Wisconsin and Florida and Ohio and Kentucky still experience election machine fraud?
And why is it almost always in favor of republicans?
We're not in Kansas anymore.

Miserly in the humanity department,

Urging vocational servitude, never to own, merely to rent,

Theater of the absurd owners

Are groping for specialized donors,

All the while we see characters and the oddly bent.

Aren't So Free

Are the Hyenas Being Unconstitutional?

Thank the crook Richard Nixon for the bs of "fast track."
The TPP is in actuality a treaty, sneaking in the back.
Why all the greed,
Why this bad deed?
You're killing us with eyes wide open and that's wack.
*
Bruce Rauner is no good.
*
Nuts! don't fall far from the tree.
Brothers! like to privately agree
On the business of murder
For oil on water.
Stuff! happens to those who aren't so free.

Homeless Who Used To Be Soldiers

re: Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse, Jr - Louisiana police
Shouldn't there be an additional charge for committing murder
while being too stupid to ever be good policemen?
*
When did the city of big shoulders
Become the pity party of crybabies in rollers?
What's with all the whining?
Why not cry about red lining,
Or Chiraq's homeless who used to be soldiers?

Record and Teach

Watching the Watchers

True democracy means a drone for each

Voter to observe gated communities on the beach,

And secret meetings formerly out of reach,

And thousands of moments to record and teach.

Much

For a brain surgeon, you don't understand much.


Well, after I stabbed Bob but before I pointed the gunman in the right direction at the fast food establishment emporium, I wanted to be a hero in the worst way. I could never make up my mind whether I wanted to cut into peoples' heads or be a big general in the army. So I fabricated a pair of dice and tossed 'em. The rest is hysterical fantasy, which is why I won the Academy Award last night for my book. By the way, I would not have used the word "much." 

Are They Misunderstood?

Volkswagen's cars - making the world more filthy and less inhabitable every day. Are they misunderstood?

Are We Here?

One Two Three

1. If the TPP (TransPacificPartnership) was created by 512 corporations without any representation from labor or politics, why were Hillary Clinton and that other guy in on it?

*

2. Have those 512 corporations already told Hillary Clinton that she would be the next President?

*

3. Are we here?

Humorous Green

Who needs an appendix or spleen,
Lung or kidney or electric organs in between?
Who needs fingernails,
Or puppy dog tails,
Or septic parts turning a humorous green?

We Don't Care

E-coli without integrity
In the country and the city,
We have to find the source?
Yes, or quit the business of course.
That may or may not be a pity.
*
Now it's the affordable dun. Now there is jail.
Some say store up the fun. Make a list for your pail.
No undecideds or not sures,
No uncertains or silent demures.
In the beginning was the Lord of One, then there was Baal.
*
For some reason, when I see Norman Braman and Marco Rubio I think of John DuPont and the Schultz kid in Foxcatcher.
*
The miracle of youth-sparkled hair,
A lad's look changing nothing. Still nowhere.
Smile on it,
Pile on it,
Give it all or nothing. We don't care.

Oh Cheeses

It is interesting that the Republican Presidential contenders formed a small union to fight for and change their working-the-debates conditions. Interesting and very telling
*
Syria is Syria and VietNam is VietNam and Iraq is Iraq, but still . . .
Life is a circle, but still . . .
*
Do you think it is okay for the Koch brothers to bribe
members of a local school board?
*
There are about 3% Cuban/Americans and about 17% Mexican/Americans in this country. Cubans are not Mexicans and Mexicans are not Cubans. And that is something for the (g)OP to "think" about.
*
The government is an ethnic cleanser.
Bad police kill 90 to 100 people every month.
They are an arm of government, along with the good ones.
U!S!A!

Yeah, I could have won, but I chose to lose.


Who do you think you're talking to?
*
Oh cheeses, make US grated again!
Take US to the antemundane sometime before ten
When commandments are followed
And the biggest lies are swallowed.
They say greater later, but when?
Oh cheeses.
