Exclusive! Breaking from Vegas New Odds!

Bookies in Vegas devour the

Business Section of the NYT;

And its latest revelation about

America's bosses' pay rising

At double the rate of

Average workers has prompted

Revision of the odds on these
Predictions: The new odds are

 

"The fruits of the earth belong to all." Jean-Jacques Rousseau         25,000 to1

 

"The meek shall inherit the earth"  Matthew 5:5                                 50.000 to1

 

"Socialism in America will come through the ballot

box," Gus Hall U.S. Labor leader and Communist                            100,000 to 1

 

"Equality is available before God, but not until then,"                                   2 to 1

Stormtroopers for Virtue

Stormtroopers of the politically correct

Want Camille Paglia fired, her views

Clash with those of the PC crowd

On what really matters: identity,

Gender, sex and race.

PC is not like the Left of old,

Engaged in the class war against

Capitalism's new robber barons,

The hedge fund Ponzi schemers,

 High tech's billionaire. dealers.

PC is marketing your virtue while

Living well in  pockets of the corrupt.

Paglia uses reason and its evil

Handmaiden, free speech, to expose

The charade of the Starbuck socialists.

Reason is a weapon the PCers do not

Possess, so it must be banned, and

Free speech silenced.

Then PC can continue to hammer

More nails into the coffin

Enclosing the American mind.

A Six-line History of American Politics: 1968-2020

A Six-line History of American Politics: 1968-2020

 

We voted for people we hardly knew,

People who made decisions about

Matters they could not understand,

Decisions benefitting very few of us.

We called it democracy, we still do,

And we're about to do it again.

Biden Uncut Could Rival Trump's Reality Show

Here Comes, There Goes Joe Biden

Here Comes, There Goes Joe Biden

Superman fell to Kryptonite's

New, improved formula.

Batman's fingers turned stiff

After years of dread arthritis.

Wonder Woman retired to

Doing reruns on the television.

Now it's up to old Joe Biden

To "battle for the soul of America,"

To return it to its original flavor.

We were well advised by sly

Old Bertolt Brecht, telling us

"Pity the country that needs heroes."

Biden Launches 2020 Campaign As Rescue Mission For America's 'Soul'

What College Does To You

What College Does To You

Who's in and who's not

In the meritocracy or elite

Is easy to tell.

 

There are tests for the former.

Assets of the latter by

Which to measure.

 

But who belongs to the

Common people, that's

Harder to tell.

 

You are where you went.
