Future Hearing


-I didn't listen to you Republicans when you said some bureaucrat
would make the end of life decision for me!

-Well, you shoulda. But there's a caveat: decision outsourced
to my new company, Bye-Bye Inc. Thus private sector, Baby!

-I remember now. You left the Senate in The Big Quit!

-Bingo! Lot of us did. Once Republicans lost the spicks and blacks
and women too, none of us could ever get elected again.
But I held on, and wouldn't leave without a deal by the Dems.
Thus, Bye-Bye Inc.

-And here we are.

-Yeah well, let's cut to the choice. I looked over your shit and
you haven’t got a fuckin chance. Reaper for you! Next!

-Whoa! How about appeal?

-10 thou in cash. Uncle Sam pays me 5 for this dumb hearing,
but you gotta come cocoa personally for any appeal.

-I got the ten here! Take it!

-Thank you! Appeal denied! Next!

Ugly, Rich,

he marries a Babe.
Things swim a time.

Then, both shop about.
She, no fool, hogties
him legally. So...he gets

her offed. Reached out
of town, sobs buckets
at awful “news.” Cops

nab morons he had
entrusted rapidly. They

sing like the chorus at
The Metropolitan. Outside

his trial, Babes United For
Death–-or her sisters--
jam TV’s 6 O’Clock Report

with HD makeup and hair.
Prosecution slides couple
on the stand. Nothing

to do with law; everything with
blondest beauty, grieved. They
cry, of course. Defense: no ques-

tions, knowing jury despises
their frogish client further if
dams really burst. Two kinds

of murder trials: wry,
laconic lynching, &

circus. Guess.

Inclined To Improvise



Media Matters slams trombones

their fake-book, possibly,

If it bleeds it leads. Now snatch

Selection

-It’s like the Nazis and the Jews!

-Well, that’s a stretch. I just know that I have to deliver one body
from these condos, and I’ve been holding them off from you
for months.

-Where to? Some re-education camp?

-I don’t know. I can’t see how you can relearn what you’ve got:
a big nose!

-I could get surgery!

-Too late now.

-But it’s so absurd and arbitrary!

-Yeah, sometimes it is.

At GOP Club


-We got in a box on that Hispanic nominee. Lean over backwards for the immigrant bashers while grabbing the departing Spicks.

-And we didn’t need another of our sex scandals to erupt!

-Never be caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

-Mixing our subjects, that new waiter is cute.

-He’s Juan. I didn’t know you were Juan too–quoting an old, sick pun.

-Yourself?

Fashion

CNBC

Watching one of the collective screams
posing as panels on CNBC. Loudest emitting
from those unrepentant shills for Capitalism,

many of the very same who were lied
to into their quite valuable dental art

by magnificent Captains of Finance--
some serving jail terms presently

as token symbolism for the massive
number of crooks not caught. Not caught?
Rewarded! If completely vile enough.

-Well, that’s what your spokesman says.

-And he’s pretty fuckin young.

-Words and deeds, huh?

-Amen! Let’s stick to the deeds.

-Are you a physician? I never asked.

-We’re both physicians who, from wresting with bureaucracy,

Sartorial Solution

Suggestion offered via net
that politicians should dress
like NASCAR drivers, so we’d
read corporate sponsors off

patches. Key, though, frump-
ier legislative specimens must
avoid the stuffed-turkey look,

having personal tailors fit these
jumpsuits properly to their un-

Hollywood frames. With one
for work. (Will last forever )

And a brilliant formal number.
(100 Haitians wreak surround-
ing embroidery.) Others

for occasions. John Q springs
for all the suits, thus honored

by a dedicated patch also.
Worn on each lawgiver’s heart.

Vote nudging in Iran
via food and cash.

Uh huh. Walked from
Media PA to Springfield
Mall once. Natural bathroom

break at Wallingford Art Center,
so nipped in. Nice local show, too,
thus perused. One gallery reserved

for Judge's campaign.
Tables heavy laden.

Worker told me to make a drink
and scarf some snacks. I told him
I was there for nature. And art.

"Look around! Do you see
many others? Mix! Please!

Doing us a favor." Assembled
atomic gin and tonic. Eventually

sledding down the hill outside
