OBAMA has a heart of gold,
His ears are made of steel;
But McCain, if truth be told,
Has more sex-appeal.

JOE BIDEN is a people’s bloke
Who lives for serving YOU;
Palin (does she sometimes smoke?)
Cares more for caribou.

So she's the caribou lady?
Better watch what you say
If we are soon elected
We'll send the IRS your way

I'm tired of 30 lawyers
Scouring over Wasilla
You'd think that Sarah Palin
Had married a gorilla

Oh, thanks, by the way
I think I made a rhyme
Got special Dutch approval
And it cost a pretty dime

But I'm used to paying taxes
I'm a Buddhist, oh, Lama
Guess which rhyme is next
You're wrong, but oh, drama

LMAO. Yep. The ass just dropped to the floor.

AMERICA PROUDLY PRESENTS ...

Mijnheer Rembrandt was a genius
(Born in Amsterdam--no, Leyden)
But (as every Dutchman will admit)
He was fatter than Joe Biden.

Herr Albert Einstein’s bank account
Can’t compare with that of Joe;
Barack Hussein has bigger ears
Than both Mozart and Van Gogh.

Both candidates have better teeth
Than Jesus Christ himself;
Honest Joe loves Spanish and
Obama oft speaks Elf.

Only a truly confident and non-pretentious Dutchman could rhyme "Van Gogh" with "Joe." And, fine, the pronunciation is what it is and there's no harm in getting it right. But I say "VAN GO." Not "Van Gocchhhhhhhhhh" like some pretentious twits do here in America, although I'll also admit there's nothing wrong at all with pronouncing it right, however that is. I'm fine with that. But how many people when they say "Einstein" put on the German accent and say it like ol' Albert would? Not me. And I believe (brother smithz can correct me if I'm wrong) that at the very least it's Ein-schtein in terms of pronouncing the "s" as "sh." I pronounce it like this.

This all, of course, is much ado about nothing. It's just a pet peeve. To others, I'm just a moose-eating, fetus-keeping, Russia-spotting Alaskan bumpkin for saying "Van Go."

This one was crap.

The High Priest

We make light behind blackout curtains
and shovel snow in sandals and T-shirt:
Gore’s World Wide Church of Gaia
has long-necked informants everywhere.

His thick fingers are fat as worms
and his words are immovable lead weights.
His smile is polar-bear white
and his shirt is freshly ironed.

He is surrounded by a scum of politicians
and makes use of starry-eyed half-men
who whistle, meow, or snivel
while he orates and pokes out his finger.

He rolls accusations on his tongue like berries
while taking the measure of our footprints.
He sells heap big credits that offset our guilt.
Many cry when his gleaming jet lifts off.

(Mandelstam)

That's okay. I really enjoyed it's experiment style and savage directness. But good writers use lots and lots of erasers, that's for sure.

Here Comes the Sea Level
(a total ripoff of George Blarry-sun)

Here comes the sea level, here comes the sea level,
and I say it's all tide

Little dupeling, it's been a long hot hurricaney summer
Little dupeling, it feels like years since Al Gore feared...
Here comes the sea level, here comes the sea level
and I say it's all tide

Little exhaler, the carbon's returning to upper places
Little exhaler, I'm super cereal that doom is here
Here comes the sea level, here comes the sea level
and I say it's all tide

Melt, melt, melt, der whole damn Welt...
Melt, melt, melt, der whole damn Welt...
Melt, melt, melt, der whole damn Welt...
Melt, melt, melt, der whole damn Welt...
Melt, melt, melt, der whole damn Welt...

Little ManBearPig, I feel the ice is fastly melting
Little ManBearPig, it feels like decades you've been in fear
Here comes the sea level, here comes the sea level
and I say it's all tide

I was down with Chinese flu
When Palin came to town;
I hear she shot a leopard
And wore a narrow gown.

I couldn’t go in person,
Being much too sick,
But I was there in spirit
With my granite dick.

(Emily Dickinson)

When financial markets are iffy
And needs some Viagra in a jiffy
So give it more steerage
from political peerage
And give Fanny Mae a good stiffy

When needing a loan for a house
With not as much bread as a mouse
Then go see Pelosi
She'll make you quite cozy
With loans guaranteed by a souse

There was a hot babe named Palin
Whose partner had trouble emailin'
The mob started trashin'
Her Alaskian fashion
While giving a pass to bank failin'

2084

I wonder about El Gore.
Why did we grin and bear
The bullying of this bore?
The Global Warming noise,
The stench of Climate Crime--
Would we’d laughed that crap away
While there was still time.
Gore said we had no choice
--For Gaia there’s no spare--
But to plant our daily trees,
Stone Deniers, and pay.
Mother Gaia’s Church Police
Now sniffs out our every fart
And counts the times we pray.
In our kyoto-sized existence
We drive to work in a cart
On highways of frozen clay
And roads of least resistance:
Having failed to grow a pair
We must make do without the joys
Of cars and other dangerous toys.
The Global Warming Scare,
Which is a blatant global con,
Is here, it seems, to stay
Though there is an Ice age on.

(Robert FROST)

With markets in flux
And politicians insane
Who do you turn to
For a rational refrain?

The basics, I say
These are the ones
Free markets, free markets
And religion and guns.

The One

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of Barack,
He will put a stop to yankees
Making mischief in Iraq;
Mother Europe loves Him,
Hugo pats Him on the back.
Obama is The One.

BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
Obama is The One.

America goes Marxist--
Suck it up, ye redneck fools;
They have builded Him an altar
In the media and schools;
Kiss goodbye to the Free Market,
Good old Socialism rules!
Obama is The One.

BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
Obama is The One.

Gaia’s children love Obama
‘Cause he fills their hearts with HOPE:
Will He piss off Ahmedinejad?
Don’t worry, children: nope;
He’s a Hero, and that woman
Sarah Palin is a dope.
Obama is The One.

BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
Obama is The One.

In Hawaii, in Honolulu
He was born across the sea;
He is asking hardball questions
That transfigure one, e.g.:
“Comrades Biden and Pelosi,
Why should Speech be friggin’ Free?”
Obama is The One.

BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
BARRY! BARRY! H. OBAMA!
Obama is The One.

Another good one. One of the realities of an Obama administration is that free speech will be abridged. It may come in the form of prosecutors trying to intimidate politically "seditious" statements uttered about Obama, as we see happening here and there in the country even before he is elected. It will almost certainly come in the expanding of hate speech and hate crime laws. And most prognosticators assume that Obama would revive the Orwellian-named "Fairness Doctrine," which does nothing but squelch non-liberal speech. It's even possible that, just like Mac cultists often swamp and try to squelch dissent about Mac products, if Obama is elected president, places like thalo.net could be harassed by the full-of-themselves yutes and other thought police. Of course, for every one bit of harassment, I will raise my voice by triple. Rolling over and appeasing these types is not an option, although many even now have bought into many of the ideas of the left and think "what a good boy am I" for having done so. But they are fools, enabling fools.

Biden, Biden

I look with rapture, Biden, Biden,
At thy hair plugs and thy smile;
Thy grin denotes a barmy swami,
Or should I say a crocodile.

Thou art hip and eco-friendly,
Wouldst not rape Alaska fair;
Loquacious art thou on the tv--
Love thy royal high-horse air!

Borkists call thee, Biden, Biden,
A sociopath and gaffe machine;
Never mind: Obama digs thee,
Biden, Biden, green and mean.

(Sir Henry Newbolt)

Love it, love it.

You have no proof of such a thing. You're just mouthing right-wing blather.

And since the right considers McCain anti-free-speech because of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, you're pretty much fucked either way, aren't you?
