"Michele Bachmann: Welfare Queen"

"Realm of the Unreasonable"

"We consider the pat-downs and the whole-body scanners to be a step too far, and they have crossed into the realm of the unreasonable." - David Olsen, attorney for Jesse Ventura, in re: lawsuit against Homeland Security and the TSA.

Scarey Like Vampira

Your eyes! Woman of the creek
Eyes doing point counterpoint with your beak
What's with that
Turn into a bat
Your eyes! Which lens does each eye seek

Can I be Polite?

Can you be polite?

Yes, please and thank you, I believe so. When?

Can you be polite during war?

Sure. The kindliness of war is quite genteel and soothing to my manners. What else?

Can you be courteous tomorrow?

Yesterday, I lost my job. Today, I lost my home. Tomorrow my kids cannot afford college. Okay, I can add civility to my graciousness the day after tomorrow. What else?

Will you be mannerly after my speech?

I'll try. Is telling the truth a civility we can afford?
Thank you so much. Thank you.

You are most welcome.

The Compromise Word & the Change Word

Oh, that's right. Adults take responsibility. cheese its . . .

Off the cuff off the hoof
A bit of fluff a bit of woof
Huff n puff
Goof n poof

When President Obama brought one of the guys with him to D.C., the cement guy, I assumed it meant the beginning of cement roads and the beginning of the end of benzene and coal tar and asphalt. I assumed it meant some real innovation in the fight against cancer.
That would be change.

Here is a nice exercise: Put the biggest smile on your face. Now, while you are doing that, say Human Nature. It is a nice exercise for your cheeks.

I got a message from stage left virtual right: We're going out to lunch with the blob killing, corn on the cob killing, watch fob killing, gob & glob killing, mob killing, knob killing, sob killing, job killing, sons of bitches. Wanna come?
Sure!

Extreme Unction

Watch your back if you are a match for the dick.

Who will tentatively title their ghost-written autobiography
Look, Look, Please Look at Me?

Please wipe the spittle off your mouth or hit the refresh key,
the audience calmly advised.
DON'T CRITICIZE ME!! came the screamed reply.

A gray horrible and a cunning dog
Met long ago under a web log
Each embraced the other
Sensing another mother
Both turned as one & jumped a croaking frog.

The dysfunctional conjunction is without compunction,
but we temporarily misplaced
the empty bottle of extreme unction.

Slightly overheard: At first I was guzzled. Muzzled?
Then I was ruffled. Kerfluffled? Am I marginalizing myself?
Mice elf?

Simple

One way to disconnect kids from Martin Luther King:
Have breakfasts once a year, softly play MLK's speeches in the background, randomly and repeatedly stop the tape with no explanation of the words so that local politicians can talk about themselves and the breakfasts are really about them, marginalize Dr. King by adults' example. Simple.

Baby Doc and Other Stuff

We hope and pray that Baby Doc's idea of "help" does not involve killing people again. As he killed people before. Lots and lots of people. As his father before him killed lots and lots of people. Papa Doc and Baby Doc were quite a pair.

"Everybody wants to be a popular product." We couldn't agree more. Join us and become one of 13 million micro air beads in a pillow. You will be exported to exotic places and beyond. Join us!

We have almost eliminated the rope and the chair and the gas chamber and we are working on eliminating the lethal injection. Those methods are fast-acting. The slower ways are preferred, such as taking shelters away and taking food away and taking health care away. It is pokey, but so much more fun.

Education Used To Be

Over the last several years, the US & British government corporations have worked very hard to make sure the citizens of the two countries, especially the children, have no place in the world's future, except as worker bees. On the other hand, college is free in China.

Amiss Para Sacks
Disses care & welfare with reel hacks 'n quacks
Prissfully pissfully dares & glares with a flare, even spitting tax
Kisses sis's & misses, everywhere & nowhere, plus any yaks 'n jacks
Hisses "unfair" into her hair, brakes the facts machine to the max, she has a knack
Blissfully bears her cracks
Amiss Para Sacks

Publicly Chewing a Cud Bible

Oh, that imp pailin'

Is a full-fledged member of C.R.U.D.
And the hand-deliverer of a 5-eyed dud
She slid with a wary fox into the mud
Then neo-feministically mocked his pudd
So she became just another fox belly stud
Oh, that imp pailin'
Publicly chewing her cud bible

And it ain't libel

Sometimes prop babies want to go home and be regular babies for a while. They say it isn't asking too much.

Adults Take Responsibility

We have Freedom of Speech in the 1st Amendment. When it is an impromptu, unrehearsed speech, we have those 10-second bite your tongue so it doesn't make room for your foot options. When it is a rehearsed speech with designated talking points, we have lots and lots and lots of time to consider our words and the ramifications of our words. Adults take responsibility either way.

Taxes, taxes, taxes - just so long as the US militant budget can pay for the wars of the welfare elite because they don't want to pay. How about if we give up eating too?

There is a woman who goes thru a whole lot of scheming to get 2 cents on the side, but she blows 3 cents on herself in the meantime. Her name means "joyous song" and she has a beautiful smile. But so what.

"The Process That Coughed Up Braun"

Circumstances and the powers that be picked Carol M.B. The choice (was that a choice or a hair ball?) clearly shows how voters are regarded or not regarded in the city of Chicago.
How about those taxes, Carol? Who makes those organic food products you sold? Who will pay off your 2 million dollar debt? Who will pay off your 3 loans?

So you want a candidate with the same government enforced racial label as yourself? Okay, but you must quietly and docilely accept whoever you are allowed to accept.

Took a nice break, because they could.

Golly gosh gee whiz,

I'll show them
As a tagged Dem
How to juicer the fizz.
