Current and Ongoing

Once upon a New Year's Eve, himself had SHAFTA up his sleeve
Twisted bushes enjoyed whitewashing reality and lore
Base estaters nodding, undecideds napping, most medicinally tap tapping
Then they started rapping, rapping for the Florida spoor
And fake lawmakers muttered nonsense behind a reason-proof door
Daylight revealed smoke & mirrors, much was less & nothing was more.

John Boehner is rusting from the inside out
Mitch McConnell's bribers are what he's all about
Paul Ryan spreads his selfishness with a smiley pout
And make a note: Dick-in-the-Face needs more organ grout.
They call it doing "business."
*
Georgie Goy Sr. was not the first killer in his clan nor the last
He wanted to know who cared, due to his words & actions & past
A hospital room for receiving
Worshippers and their believing
Was the perfect stage for the entire crew & most of the prepaid cast.

So a kheda was built. The rest is current and ongoing.

"Behind an Amp"

Welfare by Any Other Names

Have you heard that the ceo's and boards of corporate farms, the energy and war corporations, and the drug pusher corporations will be required to be tested for drugs? It's probably because they are on welfare and a drain on society.

Oink Oink

Fox, the Opinion Instigator Noise King extraordinaire

Is the opposite of balanced and the opposite of fair
KISSing Herc, well
It's a helluva Montel
New Year's is coming! Washin' the grime out of my hair.

From "Running With Scissors A Memoir" by Augusten Burroughs, Picador, 2002, page 109 in the paperback:
   "Because he moved out of our home in Leverett when he was sixteen [author was 7 years younger], my brother was never involved with any of the Finches. He had met them and considered them 'freaks.' He also considered our parents 'freaks' and remained as far away from them as possible. He was designing electric guitars for the rock band KISS at the time, so I viewed him with a remote sense of awe.
   Once, he even let me hang out with him and the band like a groupie. They were playing the Nassau Coliseum in New York and my brother not only paid for me to fly all the way out there, but he met me at the airport in a white stretch limo.
   I got to sit next to the stage and watch the band rehearse. I got to see them without makeup. I even got to watch Paul Stanley talk on a portable phone that was the size of an assault rifle.
   At one point, Gene Simmons came over to me and joked, 'Hey, little boy. Wanna see me without my clothes?'
   I wanted to tell him 'Yes.'
   He laughed and stripped off his jeans so he could put on his stage clothes.
   I kept watching until he gave me a funny look and stepped behind an amp."      

Easter Bunny

After 4 out of 5 years of losing money
Create a controversy that isn't even funny
Nut jobs will always float
So blame it on a scapegoat
And tell us all about the Easter Bunny.

As a Body Lay on the Ground

Real Robots Don't Apologize

Don't apologize
Keep squeezing through the cries
Who cares if someone dies
Don't apologize
My, how time flies
Finally one of the guys
Don't apologize
Feelin' those power highs
After all, everybody lies
Don't apologize
Whose turn to go for coffees and pies?
Won't listen to people's sighs
Don't apologize
The bind that hurts and ties
Are only the wise asking the whys?
Don't apologize.

Tender Feelings Again

My heart aches for Louis Zamperini. He experienced "far too many scenes of sadistic brutality" in his young life. He was "one man enduring beating after beating after beating." Please don't make people have to think about the reality of  being Louis Zamperini. That hurts their tender feelings again.

This just in: Officials will not call a halt to assassinations and executions (2 of the Fox Instigator Channel's favorite words) of people on the street. But they will call a halt to protests of that policy. Protesting hurts their tender feelings.
