Election eve "sonnet"


The day before the crazies meet fraidies:
Second Amendment remedies and radical Tenthers
Nativist frights and Christianist ladies
Cultists who think Ayn Rand's a real philosopher

vs.

Cowardly congressmen hiding from votes
Dissing their leaders and looking quite hurt
Looking for quick getaways in speedy boats
From a House next year of Louie Gohmerts


Aqua buddhas and witches caused quite a fuss
The Rent Is Too Damn High, Mr. President dude
Those Hispanics in ads are menacing us
Twenty-eleven promises congressional feuds

      And Wednesday's child is full of woes
      Post-election postpartum "I told you so"s

  1. I don't think even Ayn Rand is far enough to the right for these crazies!

  2. Perhaps she is more of a "gateway drug", like she was for the president of FreeedomWorks:

    "Kibbe, who’d discovered libertarian writer Ayn Rand as a teenager—after the rock band Rush dedicated an album to her—was a true believer in the free market." Newsweek
