Michigan my friend

the dumber you are

the easier you fall

Michigan my friend

is the dumbest of all

in these hard times

who do we elect

a vulturous cadre

of reptilian descent

a nefarious governor

as evil as they come

a Republican perfecta

of verminous scum

the state lays broken

it's beaten, supine

ripe for the picking

as they queue up in line

they're drooling, salivating

as they eye the feast

this ravenous, rapacious

Republican beast!

first it's Benton Harbor

what's next in this state

so many to choose from

as they load their plate

the forlorn, the hapless

the helpless and the lost

a boatload to steal from

as they placate their boss

those plutocratic denizens

who live beyond our reach

always espousing virtue

never practice what they preach

it's now time for austerity

cutbacks across the board

except for record profits

all else must be ignored

the facts are overwhelming

even off kilter, slightly skewed

the preponderance of evidence

says Michigan is screwed

you get what you deserve

you get what you deserve

when more than 80% of your population believes in angels

you get what you deserve

when less than forty percent believe in evolution

you get what you deserve

when you reelect Bush

you get what you deserve

when the Supreme Court is packed with ideologues

you get what you deserve

when you are scared of gay marriage

you get what you deserve

when more than 50% of the population despise unions

you get what you deserve

when you believe in trickle down economics

you get what you deserve

when corporations are people

you get what you deserve

when you fight wars based on lies, Endless Wars! Plural!!

you get what you deserve

did I mention Bush...

only the rich vote republican?

The paradox of theft

Three people are sitting at a table a CEO, a tea party member, and a union man

the CEO grabs the box full of doughnuts from the center of the table and walks away

the union man looks at the tea partier and says

" If we still had collective bargaining we could have at least kept a doughnut"

and the tea partier says " At least we've got our Freedom"

Saint Ronnie

is there beauty in ignorance

and is it benign

this notion of bliss

just ensures one is blind

and thus easy prey

open wide for abuse

the jackals are ravenous

their needs are profuse

as the rich get richer

the more we must bleed

it's an easy equation

the mathematics of greed

brought to us by Ronnie

the saintly Trojan horse

a conservative icon

who plotted this course

now we're left ravaged

depleted, supine

the right wing agenda

it's all by design

and as we all falter

teetering on the brink

we're taking on water

this nation might sink

do we remedy problems

with solutions well sought

no we reelect culprits

who've been soundly bought

The Supreme Court

The White House

Congress's hallowed halls

all of these compromised

they've got us by the balls!

income distribution

These charts are a real eye opener!!

Serf and Turf

This is a great article articulating the demise of Democracy. The symbiosis between a healthy Democracy and strong labor unions, the ruinous notions of the conservative agenda, and the outright stupidity of the American public, of which 54% have an unfavorable opinion, of labor unions. Wow! The power of propaganda! Do yourself a favor and read this piece..

a thousand words

notice the small amount paid by corporate thieves

in the 1940's they paid twice as much as individuals

this gap represents the single most debilitating

factor in our ongoing economic debacle

and shows how effectively the corporate

monster has captured and controls our government

red, right, and blew

rush limbaugh is scum

even he knows it's true

including his dittoheads

red, right, and blew

the right is not right

in fact they are wrong

in their twisted vision

only they sing the song

yet, the tune that they carry

is shrill and obtuse

filled with delusions

of hardship and abuse

in their dementia

they may sound sane

but it's up to the left

to be more profane

in this battle of wits

who's keeping score

the body counts rising

as blood stains the floor

rush limbaugh fuck you

and those of your kind

your insane motivations

leave this country blind

America Simply Grand

can't point fingers

can't blame, blame

can't fight problems

can't win the game

what is mental illness

thusly it's explained

to harm or injure others

often it's profaned

yet don't simple repugs

by mission and design

harm and injure others

it's simply the bottom line

from Boehner to McConnell

Limbaugh and sniveling Beck

mountainous, monotonous, cacophony

of continuous unending dreck

millions of faithful minions

on the radio, across this land

think these men are prophets

isn't America simply grand

these idiots in the trenches

reigns of power in their grasp

Shit! We silently exhale

our buttocks firmly in their clasp

banks are skanks

Is this a spoof?

Really makes you wonder?

Those Bastards

A synopsis: the way it was done, or in other words here is the recipe for the destruction of a nation. This game plan is infallible and I fear irreversible.

A must read!

do no harm

will this man

this sham governor

republican scum

cause harm

will he abrogate

cherished maxims like

the Hippocratic oath

"First do no harm"

bend over Florida

it ain't harm

it's gonna be hurt

these sick regressive

troll, conservative

politicians, love

only this, that

which causes harm,

causes them no pain

will this man

this sham governor

do right for his people

or will he continue to

exacerbate and propel

stupidity and failure

as modern examples

of exemplary renown

Florida suffers from

an unmitigated and

unadulterated dead

level of ignorance

forever entwined

with the sad forlorn

notions of Republican

love and fiscal failure

Oh, the things left unsaid

the 800 pound gorillas

ignored never mentioned

the discarded detritus of

a failed and ruinous

foreign policy, masquerading

as truth, the usurpation

of our government in an almost

bloodless coup

a betrayal of historic

proportions as the radicalized

Supreme Court treats nation

to prison rape scene

Oh, the humanity!

Two Wars, really are these

even wars, failed ignorance,

Hubris exposed, worthless

military playing games

in the desert makes me

ashamed of prior service.

failure is an option

and our military has

as a matter of record

accepted failure as it's

"Mission Statement"

Just something about war

and these United States

we no longer win, we

do not even fucking tie!

We just keep bleeding,

and bleating, like the

sheep we're meant to be!

Yes, those 800 pound gorillas

are hard to see and

exceptionally hard to measure

like the thirty year war

on drugs WTF! Thirty years

and victory is just around

the corner and up around

the bend over and take it

like a used up crack whore.

We have never liked a war

more than a war that never

ends!! Welcome my son,

Welcome to the Machine!

War Inc...

the prequel, the sequel and

all points in between

War Pigs do gather in their

masses just to prove

that their dumb asses

if we're a superpower

then the word has no meaning

our military has neither

gained nor achieved

a greater strategic

edge in any theater on

any point of the globe

in decades our position is

faltering as we squander

resources in unwarranted

invasions and occupations based

on lies, fear, ignorance, and

best of all Machismo

that glory seeking prep

school fuck, nut job, sure

did his daddy proud

those big ass gorillas sure

do leave huge piles of shit

everywhere you might not

see the gorilla but you

can sure smell the shit
