read it and weep

“Dissent is what rescues democracy from a quiet death behind closed doors.”–Lewis H. Lapham. The year 2011 will bring Americans a larger and more intrusive police state, more unemployment and home foreclosures, no economic recovery, more disregard by the US government of US law, international law, the Constitution, and truth, more suspicion and distrust from allies, more hostility from the rest of the world, and new heights of media sycophancy. 2011 is shaping up as the terminal year for American democracy. As 2011 dawns, public discourse in America has the country primed for a fascist dictatorship.

Two Atheists

Two Atheists and a Catholic are sitting in a basement smoking a joint, the Catholic lets a fart, the first Atheist shouts "Jesus Christ"and the other says "Oh my God"!!

If an Atheist farts in the woods does God hear it???

If God farts in the woods does an Atheist go deaf???

Pond Scum into Gold

no more oil
no more gas
the middle east
can suck our ass

the day is here
it's just been done
oil from algae
power from the sun

where's the investment
give them the dough
ideas like these
just have to grow

down with corporations
EXXON, BP, & SHELL
if this comes to fruition
send em straight to hell

imagine the promise
pond scum into gold
such wild invention
no boundary to bold

let's harness this power
will we do what is right
or squander the future
a most darkest night

this say it all

Tea Baggers

should tea baggers
have any clout
their silly notions
cause me much doubt

their dubious ideas
have me confused
they scream for justice
have we all been abused

and then if we have
do they have the cure
they spout useless rhetoric
their palliatives obscure

to me they are a symptom
a disease most malign
how do we squelch it
and then make it benign

a new grass roots movement
one with common sense
based on our community
not on ignorance

well there it is
in black and white
a new grass roots movement
not owned by the right

Could She Understand

political correctness
strikes again
chalk one up
to the bogus war
righteous indignation
or outright exploitation
forever gaming, conniving
scheming for advantage
yet truly being lower
than that which you champion
yes you are
retarded Sarah
in the truest
sense of the word
its dictionary definition
forever slowing impeding
the progress of mankind
may you someday
attain the semblance
of humanity
that your unfortunate
progeny acquired
on the day of his birth

With Apologies to Poe

the health care debate is making us weary
It's incessant drone is getting dreary
while the political hacks try and settle the score
the nation nodded it was nearly napping
suddenly there came a crapping
a smell as if a diaper was unwrapping
unwrapping on the chamber floor
tis merely a Republican we muttered
crapping on our chamber floor
only this and nothing more

ah distinctly now we remember
back in that bleakest of December
when each and every single member
took a crap upon the floor
eagerly we thought well tomorrow
vainly how we hid our sorrow
from our hopes we had to borrow
anything to help squelch the sorrow
for that rare and radiant beauty
whom the angels called before
Universal Health Care
Nameless now and forever more
Quoth the Senate Nevermore

Echolalia

echolalia:
Psychiatry: the tendency to repeat mechanically words just spoken by another person: can occur in cases of brain damage, mental retardation, and schizophrenia

Yep, there is a word for that so next time you hear a tea bagger or an idiotic conservative republican speak you now know the clinical definition of their disorder. Feel free to use it in a sentence like:

"Hey buddy, I see you still suffer from echolalia why don't you go and rent some original thoughts."or "Your echolalia is really annoying plus you smell bad have you showered lately." or... Well you get my drift have fun and enjoy this most useful of words. I know I will.

the art of repetition
is how they get things done
the simple minded idiots
don't know when they are one

you can see them proudly
just turn on your TV
they are the moronic idiots
that live amongst you and me

they might be your neighbor
or the guy just down the street
they are simply just repeating
Rush Limbaugh's reddest meat

the problem with these people
what makes them who they are
is the lack of cogitation
they really lower the bar

Democrats have screwed the pooch

Obama is in a world of hurt the democrats have screwed the pooch and you have to wonder is this by design? Have the corporate powers taken over this completely, between Obama's failures and the recent SCOTUS ruling I see no hope for this country and I mean no hope. It is all down hill from here. I may have to dust off my copy of 1984 this shit seems Orwellian. We are sliding towards the abyss, and nothing can stop this rapid descent. This article is a must read and pretty much explains the current state of affairs in this country and the debacle that is the executive branch. I so want to think that Obama miscalculated that he will rise to the occasion become the champion for the little guy. There is not one shred of evidence to support this assertion in fact quite the contrary he has abandoned the very people who got him elected. This ship can not be steered we are rudderless and quickly approaching the shoals of benighted misfortune. Everyone better don a life vest we are gonna need it.

consequences most grave

once I was happy
now I am sad
this country is sinking
too fucking bad

corporations are people
how can that be
they are evil institutions
that rape all they see

where is the outrage
we went from bad to worse
an unholy alliance
this corporate curse

it is all ideological
straight down the line
half of these judges
were born with no spine

now thanks to Bush
this court will misbehave
with the end result
consequences most grave
