Barack Obama is a Big-Eared Idiot
and other undeniable life's truths

Volume 1: The Failure's Log




November 4, 2010
Forecasting the news, we'd say
Bamster will be denounced today.
F#@k-You-Meter has moved
past the point “Disapproved”.
It is now at “F#@k all you say”.

November 3, 2010
He has worked as a tireless drover,
and his herd ate it all, grain and stover.
Now nothing is left
for his friends from the left.
Listen, Bamster: it's time to bend over.
The Israelites, so long as the vengeance
was not directed against their own people,
viewed the defeat of wicked enemies,
whether by themselves or others,
as the justifiable recompenses of Yahweh.
G. W. Trompf
Payback: the logic of retribution in Melanesian religions (1994)
Chalk up another victory to the human spirit.
Planet of the Apes (1968)

October 4, 2009
Europe seems to have gotten enough
of the endless Obamian guff.
Bamster, here is a hint
for the rest of your stint:
you are dumb, so — you better be tough...
If a man is dumb, someone is going to get the best of him,
so why not you? If you don't, you're as dumb as he is.
Arnold Rothstein
quoted in
The Big Bankroll: The Life and Times of Arnold Rothstein
by Leo Katcher (1959)
If you're stupid and weak,
you should probably quit.
Floyd Landis (2006)

October 3, 2009
The entire Obamian Force
now blames it on Rio, of course,
still unable to see
what observed IOC:
just an ass, braying loud and hoarse.
Right now there's no rehab for stupidity.
Chris Rock

Where'er an ass is crown'd to fame,
both town and country bear the shame.
German proverb
in A Polyglot of Foreign Proverbs
by Henry George Bohn (1857)

October 2, 2009
The ObamoOlympics? No more.
Both Obamas had taken the floor
in a failed pas de deux,
neither having a clue
what the f#@k the Olympics are for...
...if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day,
and thinks to please by its old graces,
it is only an object of ridicule...
Horace Walpole
The letters of Horace Walpole (1840)
All the misfortunes of mankind,
all the dreadful disasters that fill the history books,
the blunders of politicians and the faults of omission
of great commanders, all this comes
from not knowing how to dance.
Molière
Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (1670)

October 1, 2009
Mrs. Bum (that's Michelle — don't twitch...)
in ObamoOlympical pitch
spoke of her SACRIFICE
(didn't think of it twice...).
Please come up with a clue for this b#@ch.
If the First Family gets a female dog,
will she be the First B#@ch or
will she have to settle for second place?
Burt Prelutsky
quoted in
Townhall: Michelle Obama is a B#@ch, Get It? (2009)
... the usual fortune of complaints,...
to have excited more contempt than pity.
Samuel Johnson
The lives of the most eminent English poets (1805)

September 30, 2009
M. Obama flew to Copenhagen;
IOC's exaltation is laggin'
far behind her behind.
We can read their mind:
“Don't look. You'll be sore from gaggin'...”
America is supposed to be given over to ugliness.
There are a good many ugly things there;
and the ugliest are the most pretentious.
Goldwin Smith
Lectures and Essays (1881)
Social progress can be measured exactly
by the social position of the fair sex
(the ugly ones included).
Karl Marx
Letters to Dr. Kugelmann (1868)

September 29, 2009
Bamster, there is an imminent trouble
with your bursting publicity bubble
filled with all the bulls#@t
that you — daily — emit.
Get your a#@ off TV — on the double.
They ought to pass a rule in this Country
that in any investigations,
if a Man couldn't tell the truth the first time
he shouldn't be allowed to try again.
Will Rogers
The Illiterate Digest (1924)
Talk that does not end in any kind of action
is better suppressed altogether.
Thomas Carlyle
Inaugural address, Edinburgh (1866)

September 28, 2009
A conspiracy, vast and right-wing,
is attacking The Idiot King.
Bet a buck to a dime:
it's so racist this time
that he can't accomplish a thing...
Just another day in the gutter...
Young Gunz
Same S#@t, Different Day (2005)
The oblique paradox of propaganda is
that the lie in the throat becomes,
by repetition, the truth in the heart.
John Grierson
Re-thinking Grierson:
The Ideology of John Grierson
(1987)

September 27, 2009
Have you searched for your inner Obama?
Could your soul be a part of his drama?
Are you stupid, insane,
narcissistic, profane,
(please continue beyond the last comma)?...
This is the very worst wickedness,
that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil
that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.
D. H. Lawrence
Letter to Lady Ottoline Morrell (April 8, 1915)
A true criminal becomes a popular figure
because he unburdens in no small degree
the consciences of his fellow man,
for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
Carl Jung
The integration of the personality (1950)

September 26, 2009
“Red or yellow, black or white,
are all equal in his sight”.
This is what the children sang
praising Bamster's “Sturm und Drang”.
Make a note: color's order
starts with Red. Expect disorder.
Yes, we know — this is not a limerick.
But we liked it.
He said red, yellow, black or white,
all are equal in his sight.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.
Children's song
The Joker: Introduce a little anarchy.
Upset the established order,
and everything becomes chaos.
I'm an agent of chaos.
Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!
The Dark Knight (2008)

September 25, 2009
News: Islam is on Capitol Hill.
This must be The Obamian Thrill —
see 5000 a#@es
up on Washington's grasses
ready for The Obamian Drill.
We must respect the other fellow's religion,
but only in the sense and to the extent
that we respect his theory that his wife
is beautiful and his children smart.
H. L. Mencken
Minority Report (1956)
For a moment horrible thoughts went through his mind:
then he remembered the nonsense about Tash and Aslan
being the same and knew that the whole thing must be a cheat.
C. S. Lewis
The Last Battle (1956)

September 24, 2009
USA is in need of a succor.
King O-Bum in U.N. — what a sucker
for Progressive brigades!
Bamster, stop your tirades!
You do NOT speak for us, m#@$&%#@$&%r!
Circumstances and surroundings
do not make a man strong or weak,
they simply reveal what he is where he is.
Charles E. Woodcock
A Man's Personal Service for Christ
in His Life in the World
(1907)
A Man can practise the Arts of Falshood and Deceit
but for a little while, before they will be discovered,
and when they are discovered, they are so far
from being any Advantage to him that they turn
to his prejudice, and the cunning Man begins
to be in a bad case, and he that was wont
to over reach others, is at last caught himself.
John Tillotson
Sermon CVIII: The unprofitableness of Sin in this Life (1722)

September 23, 2009
Scrawny Barry is having some fun
at U.N. This is just a rerun.
One by one, and en masse,
he has kissed every a#@,
while Qaddafi applauded “his son”.
Groveling. It's the new cockiness.
Jeff Tweedy

Bart: You could be my father figure.
Homer: No way. I'm not getting
my finger prints on that train wreck.

September 22, 2009
Once again, our future is hexed.
“Fight for Health” has been duly annexed.
Plans of Bum The Pissant
have a personal slant:
legalizing illegals comes next.
Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong,
wrong will generally be done.
James Madison
Letters and Other Writings
of James Madison:1769-1793
(1865)
Is it really true that political self-interest
is nobler somehow than economic self-interest?
Milton Friedman
Interview with Phil Donahue (1979)

September 21, 2009
Abercrombie and Fitch have been sued.
They got lucky. They could have been booed
by New Guinea-born men
wanting justice, and then
phallocrypts would be set to protrude...
Bad things are not the worst things
that can happen to us.
Richard Bach
One (1989)
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous
than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strength to Love (1963)

September 20, 2009
Who's “Obamo-American”? Well,
you would think it's a hard one to tell,
but it's not. “Piece of s#@t”
would impeccably fit —
you can easily tell by the smell.
We want to create a sort of linguistic Lourdes,
where evil and misfortune are dispelled
by a dip in the waters of euphemism.
Robert Hughes
Culture of Complaint:
The Fraying of America
(1993)
If it walks like s#@t
Talks like s#@t
It must be s#@t
If it feels like s#@t
Tastes like s#@t
It must be s#@t
If it looks like s#@t
Sounds like s#@t
It must be s#@t
If it smells like s#@t
Tells like s#@t
It must be s#@t

All Obamian zombies and mutts!
Have you seen how your favorite putz
lost his magic and charm?
Have you heard the alarm?
Time to duck and to cover your butts!
There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them
have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
Will Rogers
Blackadder: You really are as thick as clotted cream,
that's been left out by some clot,
and now the clots are so clotted,
you couldn't unclot them with an electric de-clotter,
aren't you, Baldrick?
Blackadder Back & Forth (1999)

September 18, 2009
Bamster, you are no longer a hit.
You are nothing to look at. Admit:
you just like being seen
on the glowing screen.
Like your smoking — you just can't quit.
Talk. Talk. Talk... Good lines and no action...
Said all.... Not even promising first act...
Gertrude F. Atherton
Black Oxen (1923)
Psychic inflation, like economic inflation,
means presenting greater values than really exist.
It means that the person loves and admires himself
for values for which there is no adequate foundation.
Karen Horney
New Ways in Psychoanalysis (1939)

September 17, 2009
King O-Bum! Maybe, this would be cool
in your world, where grievances rule...
We're Black and Caucasian,
we're Spanish and Asian.
Forty acres we want. And a mule.
It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation,
after which there was a commitment to give 40 acres and a mule.
That's where the argument, to this day, of reparations starts.
We never got the 40 acres.
We went all the way to Herbert Hoover, and we never got the 40 acres.
We didn't get the mule.
So we decided we'd ride this donkey as far as it would take us.
Al Sharpton (2004)
Poetry is about the grief.
Politics is about the grievance.
Robert Frost
quoted in
Roads not taken: rereading Robert Frost
by Earl J. Wilcox and Jonathan N. Barron (2000)

September 16, 2009
King O-Bum has been lying and stressing
the necessity for acquiescing
to his lies. He forgot:
he has done diddly-squat,
and his failure is everyone's blessing.
He constantly feels that you owe him things
that he has done nothing to earn.
Lundy Bancroft
Why does he do that?
Inside the minds of angry and controlling men
(2003)
...his preacherly manner, which, by the way,
he has done nothing to earn, or to deserve.
Marilynne Robinson
Gilead (2004)

September 15, 2009
Angry Bamster climbed up on the wall,
lost his balance, and ready to fall
(not all votes were ACORNed,
and O-Bum unadorned
looks like something we want to recall).
Threescore men and threescore more,
Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
Joseph Ritson
Gammer Gurton's Garland(1811)
Any time you wanna go home,
you consider yourself dismissed.
Die Hard (1988)

September 14, 2009
“Just a million” — this is the tally
of the March on D.C... Bamster's rally:
“15,000 fakes
in the Land of the Lakes.”
That's the start for the proper finale.
Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Bertolt Brecht
The Solution (1953)
The overwhelming majority of Americans
are possessed of two great qualities —
a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933)

September 13, 2009
We should judge Bamster's ears by tilt.
When he lies, they are standing “as built”,
but when someone defies
all his obvious lies,
then his ears appear to wilt.
Gotta build up those ol' ear muscles!
Charles M. Schulz
Peanuts
The American people are tired of liars
and people who pretend to be something they're not.
Hillary Clinton (1992)

September 12, 2009
Little Barry escaped from D.C.
He did not want to hear or to see
all these People who came
to D.C. to proclaim
from the sea to the shining old sea:

“It's the time for this glorious Nation
to begin the detoxification.”
And the fact that The Ears
ran away, it appears,
is the proof of the disinclination

of The Ears to listen and do
what Americans hold to be true.
“You were voted to serve,
but you lie, and you swerve
with the curve that we want to undo.”

Little Barry and Air Force One
left D.C. just before all this fun:
all these People, who came
to D.C. to proclaim
their wishes, got Barry undone...
Uncle Remus: You can't run away from trouble.
There ain't no place that far.
Song of the South (1946)
The liberals can understand everything
but people who don't understand them.
Lenny Bruce

September 11, 2009
9/11. The day we were hit,
and the day we refused to submit
to legitimate fears.
King O-Bum, it appears,
brings these fears right back, bit by bit.
Ah, this is obviously
some strange usage of the word 'safe'
that I wasn't previously aware of.
Douglas Adams
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979)
You can discover what your enemy fears most
by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
Eric Hoffer
The Passionate State of Mind (1955)

September 10, 2009
“Hope” has “Changed”. It is nearly dying.
All King's men have been publicly trying
dump it all on The Race
(at a quickening pace,
'cause Obama was/is/will be lying).
If ever we hear a case of lying,
we must look for a severe parent.
A lie would have no sense
unless the truth were felt as dangerous.
Alfred Adler
What Life Should Mean to You (1937)
Once you begin to explain or excuse
all events on racial grounds,
you begin to indulge in the perilous mythology of race.
James Earl Jones
Voices and Silences (1993)

September 9, 2009
Disney should make some new animations
celebrating all Obaminations:
Dumb-O Hood”, “Lying King”,
“Slipping Bum of the Ring”,
and “One Hundred and One Machinations”.
In Postmodernism, the media validate reality.
If you don't believe this, just think
how many times you've described some real event
as being “just like a movie”.
Brad Holland
Express Yourself (1996)
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.

NEA has no frogs (live or dead).
They thought up something better instead:

Yes, you can! Do the rant,

Yea, make sure you wear them

September 6, 2009
When we speak of the “party”, the spread
of the meanings is wide, and we dread
one we cannot survive:
with Mad Hatter alive,
but dormouse and March Hare — dead.
We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.

Rahm Emanuel has been confined
to the back of Obamian mind.
You should pity O-Bum
who is going numb,
hemorrhoid and toothache combined.
Pain is the natural consequence of wrong conduct;
any other consequence is most unnatural.
To-Day (November 20, 1890)
A man sometimes stands at a crisscrossing
of the paths of his destiny,
where the path of saving the world
intersects with the path of his hemorrhoid.
Abdul Hafeez Diwan

Bamster just had returned from vacation.
He is ready to switch education
to Obamian Voice.
But the girls would want “boys”
and the boys would want “Bush” in narration...
When an opponent declares,
“I will not come over to your side,”
I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already...
What are you? You will pass on.
Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.
In a short time they will know nothing else
but this new community.”
Adolf Hitler (November 1933)
quoted in
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
by William Shirer
...school teachers, taking them by and large,
are probably the most ignorant and stupid class of men
in the whole group of mental workers.

Hey, Obama! You stirred up some passion
with all things you are planning to ration.
Now — see what you've done?
Soon, you will be the one
hating whom will become a new fashion.
In time we hate that which we often fear.

Looking over the glorious past,
we affirm: yes, O-Bummer surpassed

Bamster's fortune we dare to scrawl.

Heard the news Bamster tries to suppress?
Nonsense rules — in Obamian dress —
and continues to press
everyone to profess
the Obamian way to success.
There are certain queer times and occasions
in this strange mixed affair we call life
when a man takes his whole universe

Internet was created to stand
up to nuclear hits to this land,
so the messages would
get to your neighborhood,
even when it no longer looks grand...

Like right now... The nuclear hit
was replaced with this Kenyan twit,
who has managed to break
all he touched — yes, a fake,
but he acts as if he is legit.

Internet helped this fake get elected.
Now, he has a way to perfect it
by appending a switch,
On and Off... Stupid b#@ch,
does he think we will let him direct it?

All good news are so easy to smother...
Someone spoke of “last Kennedy brother”,
and we thought we'd puke,
but we didn't rebuke.
We rejoiced: he said “last”, not “another”.
He wanted to be his brother's brother, and then
he turned that torch over last year to Barack Obama.
<...>
Barack is now the last brother.

Rahm Emanuel's moves, at a glance,

They seem determined to go all the way
Bob Dylan

‘I know what you're thinking about,’
said Tweedledum: ‘but it isn't so, nohow.’

but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.‘

Barry, you are a crybaby; thus,

In campaigns, propped by ACORN, your score

I am for doing good to the poor,

I think the best way of doing good to the poor,
is not making them easy in poverty,

To take from one because it is thought
that his own industry and that of his father's
has acquired too much, in order to spare to others,
who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill,

the guarantee to every one of a free exercise

Hey, O-Bum! You are nothing — a fruit
of your mother's relentless pursuit
of a life with a man,
who was part of The Plan
that would give her The Meaning, to boot.

So unfortunate you must've been,
leading life where wealth was a sin,
growing up to abhor
every instance of “more”,
knowing well that your nearest kin

by depravity grew to enslave
kids and selves, to a mob, to a wave
of the human distress,
every instance of “less”
taken in as the sign of the brave —

which it wasn't. But this was your guide,
and you went far enough to divide
our life into two:
Black and White, Red and Blue.
Great Divider you are. What a ride...

Hey, Obama! We wish you the most
of the worst you can think of. The cost
of your deeds in our land
will be paid by your band —
“hell to pay” is the gist of this toast.
Obama's birthday is a reminder of
why healthcare is so important. As you probably know,
due to a lack of healthcare coverage, Obama's mother
was turned away from a number of hospitals and was
ultimately forced to give birth in a manger.

Bamster thought that them Russians are kind —
not a match for his devious mind...
But he managed to fail:
now, Dmitry's blackmail
shoves their rockets up Bamster's behind.

On to Italy. Meeting the Pope,
who was possibly thinking: The Dope
may repent and confess
all his sins to the press,
once he gets to the end of his rope...

Then he went to the country of Ghana.
They played drums (no one there plays piano).

Hey, Obama! You are a jackass!
People are very angry — en masse.
NO, you won't — because
NO, we won't, of course,

Disobedience can be quite civil
and is useful for fighting this evil.
Not a drop, not a crumb,
not a penny for Bum
and with time, he'll wither and shrivel.
History says that wherever
a weak and ignorant people possess a thing
which a strong and enlightened people want,
it must be yielded up peaceably.

Your mentality, Afrocolonial,
by itself is a good testimonial,
that your “love” for U.S.
is a pure BS
even when it is made ceremonial.
Political tags — such as royalist, communist,
democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative,
and so forth — are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically
into those who want people to be controlled
and those who have no such desire.

There once was a fellow named Gandhi.
His advice now comes very handy:
no violence — none.
Don't cringe. Don't run.
Just say “No”, and ignore the candy...
Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty
when the state has become lawless or corrupt.
And a citizen who barters with such a state
shares in its corruption and lawlessness...
Every citizen is responsible for every act
of his government...
There is only one sovereign remedy,
namely, non-violent non-cooperation.
Mohandas Gandhi
Young India (January 5, 1922)

We have visited Mount Rushmore
to partake of American lore.
Next to Washington's face
we have noted a trace
of O-Bum... So, we looked for some more,

and right next to the entrance we saw
a peculiar truck. On the floor
of the trailer — O-Head
and O-Bust... and we said:
“What a perfect setup! But what for?”
On June 18th, one of our reporters visited Mount Rushmore, where he identified a sketch of Bamster's face already carved into the rock (see an unaltered photograph below, with the mentioned sketch appropriately marked in a light shade of red).
And then our reporter witnessed something else.
All pictures below were taken at the entrance to the Mount Rushmore monument and at the National Presidential Wax Museum (at the base of Mount Rushmore), on June 18, 2009, between 2 and 2:30 PM. Bamster's headless bust and Bamster's head on a trailer looked very well separated.
Please note the conspicuous absence of the presidential mole on the left side of the face (Joseph Stalin, whose face was disfigured by a smallpox, has baby skin on ALL paintings and ALL — of course, retouched... — photographs).

Have we witnessed a tryout of sorts?

Nnah... They said this piece of junk was on a promotional tour, on its way to the Presidents Park.

There are various rumors and lies,
but we have to believe our eyes:
executing the kill,
Bamster shows his skill...
King O-Bum is The Lord of the Flies.
But how, if that fly had a father and mother?
How would he hang his slender gilded wings,
And buzz lamenting doings in the air!
Poor harmless fly,
That, with his pretty buzzing melody,
Came here to make us merry! And thou hast
kill'd him.

There once was one Reverend Wright.
He screamed out his brains every night
how he hated U.S.
But O-Bum, nonetheless,
kept his friendship with Reverend tight.

Then O-Bum got elected (oh, dear...).
To protect his untouchable rear,
he allowed “them Jews”
(yep, that's Wright, in the news)
to control the access to The Ear...
The minister had not set out to be a traitor.
He had merely put his ambitions before his integrity,
and circumstances had done the rest.

“The Islam”, Bamster tried to insist,
“had created and made to exist
compass, printing and pen...”
Could be? Maybe... but then,
now Chinese must be really p#@$ed ...

What Islam has to do with the pen?
Or the compass? Or printing? Or then,
should we say “That's enough.
Let's count the stuff
Jews and Christians gave us.”? Amen...
It was Islam — at places like Al-Azhar — that carried
the light of learning through so many centuries,
paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment.
It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed
the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and
tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing...

And in a groundbreaking moment of scientific discovery,
it just recently was determined that Latina women —
and not white men — are best suited for jobs as judges.
White men simply don't have the empathy
that Latina women possess, and judges require empathy
to decide on important cases.
It is still unclear if empathy is an inherited trait,
and one that Latina women are born with,
or if it is something the Latina comes to possess
through her unique and rich life experiences.

As nightfall does not come all at once,

But it cannot survive treason from within...
...For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks

their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness
that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly

so that it can no longer resist.

There once was a King named Barack.
No crown, no subjects to whack,
no throne, no Queen...
just a stupid machine
with a screen full of words, back-to-back...
If we complain about the tune,
there is no reason to attack the monkey
when the organ grinder is present.
Aneurin Bevan (1957)
If you talk to God, you are praying.
If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

Friends and countrymen! Lend us your ear,
but make sure you cover your rear!

We're not here to do good.
We're here to do anything

Anesthetics and news make us numb.
But sometimes, observations of scum
make us see hidden links
to invisible things —
could Barack be the missing imam???
One by one and man to man, Arabs are the salt of the earth —
generous, hospitable, brave, wise, and so forth.
But get you in a pack and shove a Koran down your pants
and you act like a footlocker full
of glue sniffing civet cats.

It is the strange fate of man,
that even in the greatest of evils

King Obama got his education
in the top law school of the nation.
Men who paid for his school
must have chosen this fool
for his special road to damnation.
Harvard is the home of American ideas;
there have been several of these,
and somebody has to take the blame for them.

Screw the socialistic approach!
Let's impeach this community coach!
There must be a way
to return to the day
just before we've gotten this roach.
We starve the rats, creosote the ticks,
swat the flies, step on the cockroaches
and poison the scales. Yet when these pests
appear in human form we go paralytic.
Martin H. Fischer
Fischerisms (1944)
There is no safety for honest men, but by believing

Castro, Chávez, Obama and Putin
have been planning to do their lootin'
of the countries they led,
just as all of them said
while campaigning, with words highfalutin'...
If you have been voting for politicians who promise
to give you goodies at someone else's expense,
then you have no right to complain when they take your money
and give it to someone else, including themselves.

There is now a guy named Barack.
He is busy around the clock
seeking ways he could take
all the money you make,
and distribute it all to his flock.
Robin Hood: We never rob. We just sort of borrow
a bit from those who can afford it.
Little John: Borrow? Boy, are we in debt.
Robin Hood (1973)
The poor spendthrift vagabond says to a rich man:
“I have discovered there is enough money
 in the world for all of us, if it was equally divided;
 this must be done, and we shall all be happy together.”
“But,” was the response, “if everybody was like you,
 it would be spent in two months, and what would you do then?”
“Oh! divide again; keep dividing, of course!”
P. T. Barnum
Art of Money Getting (1880)

March 15, 2009
You have heard of the stimulus bill.
It will surely fail — yes, it will.
All this money will go
to repay for the flow
of the money to buy “people's will”...
Your welfare is my concern.
Do a favour for me, I'll do one in return.
If you'll scratch my back
then I'll scratch your back.

We are headed straight down to Hell.
Our leader is not doing well.
In this whole money biz,
he behaves like he is
just a patsy — but he can't tell...
He who would do good to another
must do it in Minute Particulars:
general Good is the plea of the scoundrel,
hypocrite, and flatterer.

Illinois, known well for corruption,
has produced a corruptoeruption:
one of theirs went up

In many places voting is a right.
In Chicago it's a sport.
Dick Gregory
No More Lies (1993)

March 12, 2009
All politicos look for a buyer.
One of them went (just recently) higher
than he (ever) could climb.
What his buyers bought? Time
just until someone screams: “What a liar!”
Fraud is the ready minister of injustice.
Edmund Burke

Foolish men imagine that because judgment

Here we have New American Pie,
smashed to pieces, inedible, dry...
All this crap has been served,
and O-Bum had the nerve
to suggest that you give it a try...
For one to expect or ask things of others
that he himself, if asked, would not be willing
to do or give, is the worst kind of arrogance.
Anthony Beal
When small men attempt great enterprises,
they always end by reducing them

There once was a hag named Pelosi.
All her staff played the ring-around-the-“rosy”:
while her broom was repaired,
all the planes were prepared,
so her flights would be easy and cosy.
But as long as the nation is obsessed
with historic milestones, is no one going
to remark on what a great country it is
where a mentally retarded woman
can become Speaker of the House?
Ann Coulter (2009)
Lisa: Poor little Maggie...
How many mental competency hearings
have you been to, in your short life?
The Simpsons (1989)

Activism, alarmism, and Marxism

Don't throw any rocks —

We're not ready for socialism.
Max: This country's still growing up.
Certain diseases, you're better off having

Mr. Brown, please do not respond

Our president speaks of salvation
of all people from their desperation.
He is ready to fight.
In the process, he might
dissipate our wonderful nation.
Talk of imminent threat to our national security
through the application of external force
is pure nonsense. Our threat
is from the insidious forces working from within.

There must be some value in treason.
Otherwise, we do not see the reason

We are sure: O-Bum won't need

In America built by O-Bum,

Bamster cannot be — ever! — at fault

go to the New York Times Building.

Bamster made us much cleaner — by making

Only idiots and infants “need” things.
Adults “want” things.
The language of needs is the native tongue of socialists,

Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep...

There once was one Barry, a boy,
who grew up to annoy and destroy.
Early on, it appears,
someone said: “Flap your ears!
That'll do. You do not need a toy.”

This was part of a communist ploy.
Barry wanted few things to enjoy.
Someone said: “Beat the rich.
That's the ultimate niche
for all those who do not have the toy.”

Barry learned many ways to deploy
one's resolve to acquire the toy:
fear, fraud and deceit,
mixed together, or neat —
and grew up to annoy and destroy.

You just wait. All the wealth of this nation
will be nationalized by taxation.
To accomplish this deed,
Bum will deftly proceed
using Putin as his inspiration.
Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess.

Seeking ways for Obama to sink,
we keep seeing the link, Red and Pink.
So, we are on the brink
of a horrible stink.
Just the place for a Boojum, we think.
But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!
Lewis Carroll
The Hunting of the Snark (1874)
If a convert to Communism could be persuaded
that he was a citizen of the world, it of course

This is what the O-Bummer's Right Ear
told the left one: “Recession, I hear?”
And the Left Ear said
(to the Right, through the head):
“You are deaf — The Depression, my dear!”
The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment,
was produced by government mismanagement rather than
by any inherent instability of the private economy.

No, Obama is not from Nantucket.
His is short and no way he could suck it.
But we heard that the mob

and it did put some change in his pocket.
...and commit
The oldest sins the newest kind of ways?

There once was a blast in BHOpal.

Saul Alinsky is, properly, dead.

They'll suffer the call
to submit to the Marxist temptations.
Underlying most arguments against the free market
is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

The ear of the leader must ring

There once was a man named Barack,
