Pithy Poetry Night
Welcome once again to Pithy Poetry Night here at BJG! Tonight’s theme is “the undermining of the new social order and third world status of America by right wing tea bagging racist haters who are bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles.” (courtesy of mullet!), although if you don’t stick to the theme, no imaginary points will be deducted from your imaginary score. Will there be a prize tonight? Yes! Tonight’s winner will receive a copy of the book “One Second After”. There will also be special consideration given to anyone who can successfully rhyme the word “vituperative”. They will receive a pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
As always…feel free to re-cycle stuff you’ve written here or elsewhere as well as fresh snarkiness based on all the splendiferousness of life under Barry’s gentle boot. Enjoy! (oh…and please don’t use words that rhyme with “Duck!”…or at least not ONE word that does). 
Please bow your heads for the benediction……

My children
Bow your heads, embrace an illegal alien, desecrate an American flag and repeat after me:
Our Obama
Who art in Washington
Hallowed be thy name
Thy corruption come
Thy fraud be done
In Washington as it is in Illinois
Give us this day our welfare check
And forgive us our Christianity
As we forgive those who have decency or ethics
And lead us not into integrity
But deliver us from honesty, amen
[2]
Amen.
[3]
My country tis of thee
Once knowing Liberty
Now under siege
Christians called terrorists
While Muslims shake their fists
Over cartoons and skits
I’m in disbelief
[4]
~~~ODE TO THE OMNIPOTENT~~~
There once was a potus suppurative,
Who thought of himself as quite superlative,
But he could only be described as vituperative,
For when obammer is done screwing the pooch,
And we have long since run out of hooch,
The republic will be in need of a long recuperative,
Coupled with a large dose of purgative.
[5]
your best benediction ever, your Eminence!
[6]
Who a superlative quality doth posess
That can rhyme vituperative with great finesse?
My money it be
On the skills of IP
[7]
John McCain you dirty whore
You rotten ***** you awful bore
Once I’d defend you to one and all
But now you’re just a chain and ball
Now that I hear the campaign you bring
I know that to get re-elected
You’d say ANYTHING
[8]
sigh…IP has set the bar on “vituperative” pretty darn high! ok, here goes my (VERY!) humble entry:
For eight years with language vituperative,
Insults of all kinds to Bush they did give.
But don’t dare talk about Barry,
For criticism there can be nary,
As that’s something they’ll never forgive!
[9]
Nobody riots
And Christians keep quiet
When Jesus is drawn smoking or gay
But show the slightest trace
Of Mohammed’s face
And muslims threaten to blow you away
Hold a Tea Party sign
And you’re quickly aligned
To the likes of Timothy McVeigh
But rapes and beheadings
And brutal bloodshedding
Beget cries of “they’re different, and that’s ok”
[10]
Come one come all
Who gives a shit?
ANYONE can cross the border now
Do you sell dope or murder kids?
Are you a gangster, do you rob banks?
Our borders are like a hole filled sieve
It’s made us all quite vituperative
[11]
#5
May the blessings of St Stupak be upon you my son
[12]
Obammer the master~debater was his name,
Oratorical fellatio was his game,
as a master of the spiel,
He was a cunning~linguist nonpareil,
And none could hold a candle to his fame.
[13]
Ode to John McCain:
**** ***
**** ***
Retire now while you still have a shred of dignity left
**** ***
**** ***
Have you no shame?
[14]
Open house America
Gates open wide
Free to murder our ranchers
Then run off and hide
States! Take a hint from AZ
And from your state they will flee
If in your country you have any pride
[15]
In every country on Earth, except here,
To the rules all visitors must adhere.
But not in this land,
For we won’t take a stand,
Thus scofflaws have nothing to fear!
[16]
Who’d a thought that AZ would do it?
I know I didn’t, I thought they’d screw it
The home of amnesty loving John McCain
Is the first of our states to show their brain
[17]
McCain Haiku:
I’ll say anything
I am a prostitute now
All principles gone
[18]
Ode to Arizona:
In Arizona they’ll enforce the law,
A fact which sticks in the Liberal craw.
For by defending our border,
We just might restore order!
Thus to Governor Brewer we say: “Hurrah!”
[19]
Shout out to Arizona, who’s leading the charge
Hoisting their sword against the federal barge
Confirming by vote that the law is the law
Poking the lords and rubbing them raw
Proving wrong is not right, no matter how large
[20]
#13 rofl!
[21]
McCain Haiku:
When’s the primary
Then yes I can stop whoring
Integrity what?
[22]
Mullet’s in the foxhole with dickwad and some spirits
Retlaw’s got his hand up, hoping we can hear it
Justrand is drinking earlier, to sharpen up his prose
And if we have our game on, it’ll be coming out his nose
MFG’s got the benediction to help us all to see
And we’re all passing “vituperative” rhyming to IP!
[23]
Dear John McCain
You self righteous pain
You’re lucky Sarah still supports you
We still hold our noses
One handed type proses
About how much we really abhor you!
[24]
#22 LOL
[25]
#22
Post of the night so far!!
[26]
More rhyming of “vituperative”, please!
[27]
I loves me some wine
For it helps me to rhyme
But when it runs out, there’s much fear
My rhymes start to stink
Then I start to think
What I wouldn’t give for a beer!
No beer to be had?
Well that’s really too bad
Obama sucks
*I struggled a bit with that last line…..but I think it works…..
[28]
Goldman Sachs gambled cash
On risky lots of mortgage trash
When they say what they had done
They borrowed our money from “The Won”
Now that things are “turning round”
Goldman wants to keep their crown
But owing to the devil sucks
‘Cause you’re going down and he’s keeping your bucks!!
[29]
We are all right wing tea bagging racists
and we scorn and and decry the deplorable statists
but our lives become richly blessed
when we invade their scurrilous nests
and our traps are deliciously bait’ests.
With their heads on a pike, we will cheer
our liberty that we hold so dear
the children throw off chains
let the founders’ freedom ring
November is drawing so near.
[30]
I like #9.
[31]
SEC watches porn
Here comes Bawny Fwank’s scorn
For what else but the GOP
Lack of financial regulation
Causes spontaneous capitulation
When it comes to things one should not see?
[32]
From a foxhole filled with rhyme
ol’ dickwad is having a good time
but the prose will improve
and he will hit his top groove
when JR stops by with the wine.
[33]
Prancing with wolves was lucy graham,
With jerimiah’s johnson in his hand,
Up camelback mountain they did ride,
These Rump riders of the purple divide,
Isn’t he such a precious little lamb.
Do cap & tax now he did demand,
As he stomped his little foot in the sand,
Do as I say, or with my purse I will flay,
Without me you’ll never carry the day,
For I am the primary rino of this one man band.
[34]
great stuff! Had to take the dog for a walk…and haven’t had a drop…yet!
Here’s another lame entry from Moi:
A Tea Party go’er I very am proud to be!
For now, at least, we’re still the land of the Free!
But our voice, we must use it,
Or we certainly will lose it,
And be shackled with chains most heavy.
[ok, ya gotta kinda pronounce "heavy" as "hev-vee"]
[35]
LIKE THE FETID STENCH FROM A ROTTING CORPSE,
IMMIGRATION REFORM COMES SLITHERING FORTH,
ONCE THOUGHT DEAD, LIKE FREDDIE KRUEGER,
BUT BACK IT CRAWLS LIKE A WOUNDED COUGAR,
POUND A STAKE THROUGH IT’S HEART,WITH MAXIMUM FORCE.
[36]
Al Sharpton spouts hatred all the day long,
And about the Earth’s Climate, Al Gore’s nothing but wrong.
Yet the Democrat masses,
With their heads up their asses,
Sing the praises of those morons all the day and night long!
[37]
We don’t pay our taxes
and we don’t have real degrees
We don’t watch our carbon footprint
And we do as we damn well please
We don’t prosecute our friends
(Honor among thieves)
But we prosecute our buddies
After their usefulness leaves
We don’t support our allies
We make dictators our friends
We say whatever works
‘Cause it’s all a means to an end
We lie to get elected
But then after the vote
We go back to our all ways
Where we chastise you and gloat
We do what we think is best
And even work against you
So stay in line, put down your signs
And do as I say, not as I do
[38]
Where are the pithers of poetry night,
It seems they may have taken aflight,
We need more input so sublime,
To fill our coffers of limerick rhyme,
Come forth ye bards, it’s BJG time.
[39]
splendid, TLS!!
[40]
Blago has reminded Barry he plays by Chicago Rulz.
That the laws and the statutes are for ordinary fools.
Having Obama on the stand,
Is Blago’s only winning hand,
And it shows he’s got a grip on Barry O’s jewels!
[41]
Obammer the flim flammer doing his thang,
Upchuck schumer the usual harangue,
Dingy dirty harry, the prancing little fairy,
Nasty piglosi with her chest so hairy,
God save us all from these orangutans.
[42]
Oh Say can you see, the Red dawn’s early light
What we once so proudly hailed, the left is now demeaning
Whose broad shoulders and bright hope were brought to perilous fights,
Under the ramparts we watch her so sadly careening?
And the socialists’ red glare is filling the air
Giving proof over night that our choices are clear.
And our star spangled banner will only still wave
In the home of the free, because of the brave.
[43]
On the 20th of May, it’s draw Mohammed day!
Though for drawing and painting, I’ve little cachet.
But it’s all just for fun,
And when the day is done,
I’m sure the Jihadis will have viewed it that way. [not]
[44]
TLS and IP are tearing the place up! With mullet, MFG and JM holding their own. I’m batting, uh, clean-up!
Still, as IP lamented, I was hoping some of the other BJG terrorists would show up! the early start, and change of day may have thrown them for loop! *sigh* I thought they were of smarter stuff!
[45]
I got booted from the computer cause the boys wanted to check out crossbows. Lol
[46]
This doesn’t rhymes but…..
There was a messiah who wasn’t
The Stimulus that didn’t
Then a Bailout that we shouldn’t
And some takeovers we thought they couldn’t
These provoked angry rallies that they aren’t
From Terrorists who they weren’t
Against HC we didn’t want
That passed with votes they didn’t have
Then came the jobs bill that didn’t work
Spending money we don’t have
To speed up the recovery that isn’t happening
And curb unexpected unemployment that isn’t rising
Next we get amnesty that isn’t
To legalize aliens who aren’t
And a climate bill for change that wasn’t
And no one believed him when he said “YES WE CAN!”
[47]
I hear the birds chirping
as my beer I sit slurping
waiting my turn for the mac
but no luck I do moan
as I type on my phone
wish they’d give the dern thing back!
[48]
The sun did not shine.
But we liked it that way.
In Hut 1369
It was just another day.
I sat there with Yahoo.
We sat there, we two.
And I said, “I love Obama
I’m sure you do too!”
Too happy being re-educated
And who needs to play ball?
So we sat in our Hut.
As we heeded the call!
So all we could do was to
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
But of course we LOVED it.
We loved every little bit!
BUMP!
And then
something went BUMP!
How that bump made us jump!
We looked!
Then we saw him step in on the mat!
We looked!
And we saw him!
The alGore Oh So Fat!!
And he said to us,
“Why do you sit there like that?”
“I know it is freezing
And the sun is not sunny.
But the suckers bought my shtick,
And I made lots of money!”
[I ran out of steam at this point!
]
[49]
I’m rhyming sans alcohol, so not the best, but IP certainly rose to the challenge!!
JM – I get kicked off by the yr old for strawberry shortcake
[50]
That is great, Dad!
[51]
it’s wine time!
[52]
yr old = 4 yr old (numlock was off)
[53]
Al gore told us lies
fat and happy he sits there
counting his plunder
[54]
# 48 bravo, JR!
[55]
This little elephant went to strip joints
This little donkey harassed staffers at home
This little Rino backs amnesty
This November election will be fun
As all the voters go wee, wee, wee all the way to the poles!!!
[56]
TLS…I’m sure Michael Steele would just LOVE a copy of your last poem!
[57]
INTO THE DEN OF THE BEAST SLOUCHED THE WUSSY PIPPED CASTRATI,
HAT IN HAND WERE THESE PRANCING ILLUMINATI,
OH SPARE US DEAR NANCY,OF YOUR BOTOX WRATH,
WE KNOW WE’RE IN STORE FOR A POLITICAL BLOODBATH,
WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT FOR YOUR PENDING ORCHIETOMY.
[58]
I rhyme much better when I’ve been drinking
Since then I can laugh that America’s sinking
But when I don’t pour
It’s hard to ignore
It’s our demise that Obama is inking
[59]
IT’S BEEN OUR HOLY GRAIL FROM THE BEGINNING,
IMMIGRATION REFORM IS IN THE FINAL INNING,
YOU CAN’T STOP US NOW, NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY,
WE’VE WAITED TOO LONG TO LET THIS THING PASS BY,
WE’RE IN THE HOME STRETCH, AND WE ARE WINNING.
PISS AND MOAN WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT,
WE’LL DO WHAT WE WANT JUST OUT OF SPITE,
YOUR BALLS ARE ON THE ANVIL,WE HAVE THE HAMMER,
THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO,WE HAVE OBAMMER,
YOUR PARTY IS OVER,TURN OUT THE LIGHT.
DO WHAT YOU WILL COME ELECTION DAY,
WE DON’T GIVE A CRAP WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY,
WE’RE GOING TO CRAM IT THROUGH IN SPITE OF YOU,
AND YOU’LL NEVER UNDO THIS WITCHES BREW,
WE’LL PASS THIS ABORTION COME WHAT MAY.
[60]
IP, your last poem was awesome…but requires me to have another drink!
[61]
A hickey on the hemorrhoid of journalism,
Is this spewer of effluvial paternalism,
What would look good on Olberman?
Perhaps two black and brown doberman,
He wins the award for terminal onanism.
[62]
#37 and #59 Yep….
[63]
new guinea strafers (click button)
[64]
Perhaps two black and brown doberman,
LOL!!!
[65]
Lady liberty used to invite
Those fleeing here for human rights
And now we seek to bring in mass
Our fellow nations’ welfare class
To hoard away Liberty’s light
[66]
Barry had us little lambs,
who he fleeced from head to toe.
And everywhere that Barry went,
the taxes was sure to go.
But us little lambs fleeced we are,
were calm as the driven snow.
For we know come a crisp Nov morn,
Barry will soon be to go.
[67]
another gecko has entered the lists!
[68]
JM…I agree! but let’s give the late arrivals a shot!
[69]
Hey diddle diddle, Barney plays the the fiddle,
And the SEC jumped the shark.
The little Biden laughed to see such fun
And Barry ran away with the cash!
[70]
drdog…I prescribe more “adult beverages”!
[71]
Need some wine for inspiration. But that about does it for me.
Be a tough call tonite for valedictorian. IP and TLS seemed to be hitting the hoop pretty hard from the 3pt line.
[72]
CRAP AND TRADE, ANOTHER CHARADE,
WELCOME TO THIS MARXIST PARADE,
THEIR SUBTERFUGE PLANS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED,
THESE COMMIES IN SHEEPSKIN WILL BE DEPOSED,
WE WILL LINE THEM UP AND GIVE THEM THE BLADE.
[73]
THERE ONCE WAS A CANINE PHYSICIAN,
SNIFFING OUT MOONBATS WAS HIS MISSION,
HE COULD MAKE A BASKERVILLE HOUND QUIVER,
OF THE LIBERALS HE WOULD MAKE CHOPPED LIVER,
DARE NOT DISSUADE HIM OF THIS MISSION.
DR.DOG WAS HIS SOBRIQUET,
BETWEEN HIM AND A BEER, DON’T GET IN THE WAY,
HIS ALPO IS FINE,
BITS AND KIBBLES ARE DIVINE,
BUT SAMUEL ADAMS MAKES HIS CANINE DAY.
[74]
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
[75]
drdog, they are draining “3s” on us…but you remain our favorite lizard!
[76]
Lucky lager at two bits a pop,
We never knew when to stop,
When the slop chute closed,
They thought we were hosed,
But we could always find another drop.
[77]
The taxman’s taken’ all my dough
And left me in this stately home
Lazin’ on a sunny afternoon
And I can’t even sail my yacht
He’s taken’ everything I’ve got
All I’ve got’s this sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
- Jimmy Buffet
[78]
Oh, I wish there were Dino’s
How awesome that’d be
To having them selling out their party
Instead of you and me
Oh, I’d love to have Dino’s
Who promised their voters
But then switched to our side
When the election was over
Oh, if only there were Dino’s
That sold out the Dems
And followed our platform
And our every whim
Oh, but instead we get Rino’s
Those left leaning wards
And the Liberals get Democrats
Who fall on their sword!
[79]
HISTORY IS REPLETE WITH THE STUPIDITY OF THE MASSES,
SOMETIMES THE SHEEPLE LOOK LIKE HORSES ASSES,
HOPE AND CHANGE THEY WERE VOTING FOR,
THEY SWALLOWED THE LINE OF A FLIM FLAMMING WHORE,
THEY AWOKE FROM THEIR STUPOR SMELLING HIS FLATULENT GASSES.
ONCE AROUSED FROM THIS SOMNAMBULANT STATE,
THEY ARE LOOKING CLOSER AT THIS FORKED TONGUED PRIMATE,
EMBARRASSED AND CHAGRINED AT THEIR OWN CUPIDITY,
THEY ARE NOW ASHAMED OF THEIR OWN STUPIDITY
FROM THIS GOAT ROPE THEMSELVES THEY WILL EXTRICATE.
CHOMPING AT THE BIT, TO BE RID OF THIS DIPSHIT,
THEY PLAN ON EXORCISING THIS POTUS MISFIT,
THE GREAT UNWASHED WILL CHERISH THE DAY,
THREE YEARS AWAY FROM THE COMING FRAY,
WHEN THEY CORRECT THE MISTAKE THEY NOW ADMIT.
IN THE INTERIM THEY CAN DISPLAY,
THE EXTENT OF THEIR DISMAY,
BY DEFROCKING NASTY NANCY,AND DE BALLING DIRTY HARRY,
THEY WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO THE POLITICALLY UNWARY,
THE SLEEPING TIGER HAS AWAKENED, AND THEY ARE THE PREY.
[80]
Apologies to John Prine and his song about “Muhlenberg County, where Paradise lay”]
When I was a child my family would marvel
At the wonderful nation our forefathers built.
Now it’s being dismantled by misguided Marxists
Who play on false fears and misplaced guilt.
And Tea Parties help me take back my great country
From the socialist Marxists of Obama fame.
Rally round all my sons, before its it’s too late I’m asking
Don’t let ‘em snuff out America’s great freedom flame.
Well oft times we traveled throughout our great nation,
Enjoying our freedoms and our futures were bright,
But now Obama it seems the Constitution he tramples,
He tries to claim what’s dead wrong is actually right.
And Americans help me take back my wonderful country
Where hard work was rewarded and the Constitution’s in play
Where Godly values and personal rights are respected
Can’t let Obama and the moonbats just steal it away.
Then Obama he came with the worlds largest bailout,
With entitlements, fees, taxes–and deficits galore,
Well he seized auto makers and banking and health care,
Destroyed America’s coal mines at the altar of AlGore.
And patriots please join me to take back our country,
Let common sense individual responsibility abound,
Restore ideals and values our ancestors held dear,
Where the “gubment” serves the people–not the other way ’round,
Obama’s agenda includes a VAT and a cap-n-trade tax,
Amnesty for illegals, control all schools as well,
Look at his bad foreign plans and domestic policies,
He’s transforming our paradise to a socialist hell.
And everyone please help me take back our great country,
Let’s end secret deals, kick out Obama Czars,
Vote the socialist Democrats and Rinos out of Congress,
Send the illegals home and the Marxists to Mars.
[81]
Kudos to walter, he did not falter.
[82]
Nice Retlaw!
[83]
Sing!
To our soon to be new country!
(Sung to “O Canada”):
O Oklatex!
My home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The Deep South strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Oklatex, we stand on guard for thee
God make our land glorious and free!
O Oklatex, we stand on guard for thee
O Oklatex, we stand on guard for thee!
[84]
These are great!!!
[85]
[To the tune of “Grandma Got Run Over By Some Reindeer”]
America got run over by some Marxists,
It started on Inauguration Day,
The fact is Obama’s a real radical,
Despite what all the liberal media say.
Zero promised hope and much change,
Lulled the voters all asleep,
Yikes! The Marxists run amok now,
For our country now all we do is weep.
Folks were drinking too much O’Koolaid,
And we begged them not to vote,
For a lying social Marxist,
But they did and now it really gets my goat.
America got run over by some Marxists,
It started on inauguration day,
The fact is Obama’s a real radical,
Despite what all the liberal media say.
Grandpa formed a big Tea Party,
One of many in our land,
Asked Sarah Palin to come and speak here,
And she wrote Grandpa’s phone number on her hand.
Just bend over all you good folks,
For the nasty shaft you now receive,
As for traditional American values,
In not a one does that Obama believe.
America got run over by some Marxists,
It started on inauguration day,
The fact is Obama’s a real radical,
Despite what all the liberal media say.
We’re so proud of the Tea Party,
They’re not taking Marxism well,
They refuse to let Obama,
Drive the Marxist train that takes us all to hell.
[86]
#85
Lolololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[87]
Heh, that’s good Walter! I parodied that tune last Christmas. Let me see if I saved it and I’ll throw up my version.
[88]
found it.
America got run over by a radical
‘cause in hope and change idiots did believe
You can say Obama is the savior
But as for me, I think that they’re all thieves
America’s been drinking too much kool aid
And I begged some not to vote
But they laughed at their obligation
And staggered to the poles to hang the rope
When they woke up one year later
Well, the country was a wreck
Lady Liberty had “weak” stuck on her forehead
And incriminating Acorn marks on her back
Now we’re all so screwed it’s scary
But we’re taking it so well
Since he’s shaking hands with dictators
Snubbing allies and playing nice with scum from hell
It’s not America without Patriots
But the conservatives don’t fight back
And we just can’t help but wonder
Should we keep the GOP or send them back?
(Send them back!)
Now America’s sovereignty’s on the table
And the future of our land
And the land of opportunity
Now means equal amounts in every hand.
I’ve told all my friends and neighbors
I lay the blame where it should go
They should never elect as President
A man who hangs with libs and married a bozo
[89]
We’re not worthy
We’re not worthy…
[90]
Old Air Force Joke. Do you know what a smart translator is?
A cunning Linguist
[91]

TLS (#78)
Your “DINOs poem is priceless

[93]
Thx Retlaw. You’re not to shabby yourself. And FYI, I’m a dudette
[94]
[95]
Let’s call it a tie.
[96]
Which means…
Overtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[97]
The tie MUST be broken!
New submissions, please
[98]
I like Mullet’s 29. Both of retlaw’s were great. and I can’t pick which one of IP’s I like best, although I think he won the “vituperative” challenge hands down!
[99]
IP won the vituperative challenge fo sho…..
It is between TLS and retlaw now. Mullet had best use of theme though. Hmmmmm
[100]
What a great night of poetry. One of the best, maybe the best.
Off topic.
Prayers for all the good folks in Mississippi and Alabama. They got hit hard tonight.
[101]
#37 Was my pic from TLS, #85 from retlaw. Still eyeballing #29 though, because teabagging racistry brings warmth and joy to my heart.
[102]
Rambling Random Rants
Ship our wealth to the Arabs for oil,
Borrow and buy from the Commie Chinese,
Let the POTUS czar up the “gubment”,
As The Bamster just did as he pleased.
*************************************
Spending boat loads of money each hour and day,
The Marxists and insiders just haul it away,
Goes to ACORN, GE and SEIU,
Goes to Goldman /Sachs—Bank of America too.
Marxists march on with their Socialist sojourn,
Want the U.S. destroyed, to crash it and burn
I’m fed up with this New World Order of his,
Soon he’ll tax you and me for taking a “whiz”.
Let’s return to the days of the U.S. pre-Obama,
Get rid of the Czars and all of this drama,
Bring the Bible and Constitution back from afar,
Defending time tested freedoms from wherever we are.
Stop treating enemies as friends and allies as foes
Stop leading the Congress around by the nose’
Let’s all walk in the voting booth in this year,
And stop the Marxists from destroying all we hold dear.
[103]
#100 indeed.
I was just reading about that.
[104]
AMEN
[105]
Well, I think retlaw just sealed the deal!
prayers indeed, mullet.
[106]
IP gets the “vituperative” award, IMO
[107]
I vote for TLS for best poems tonight,
(drdog, JM and IP fighting it out for my silver and bronze)
[108]
Thanks to IP, JM and TLS (the talented dudETTE)for your votes of confidence in my entries.
TLS–your poems tonight were super great!
[109]
You tax what I buy
You tax what I sell
And you tax my profit
If I do well
You tax my job
You tax my wages
Your taxes take up
Thousands of pages
And now you want
To tax me more
For “value added”
In route to store
And if I pay this tax
As well
You’ll tax me to
The depth of Hell
So I should warn
You may regret it
But if you want it
Come and get it!!

KH, amen! We’ve got a ton of wonderful

I once did a report on Thomas Nast who was a political cartoonist that highlighted and contributed to bringing down a crime ring in NY in the late 18oo’s. It was one of the most interesting historical research projects ever, because he translated the fear, intimidation and open crime that the citizens of NY experienced in ironic drawings. I can only image what Americans could interpret from our humorous pasttime in a couple of hundred years.
[117]
Yeah that ’s an interesting though about how they would read and be interpreted 100 years from now.

Looks like snowe is expected to sell us out on the permanent bailout bill – sorry I can’t bring myself to call it financial reform as most of the bill is just a bloated joke.

#113 I have been looking into that these last few days. Having never done anything like this, it is kind of daunting. Anyone here with experience in this?

“However experts also blame a lack of housing supply and say government hand-outs, including grants for first-time buyers, have inflated prices. ” Sound familiar? – gee you think, perhaps not limiting incoming wealth to your nation but addressing the real issue might be the correct move. ..ehh wtf do I know.

Nocturnal falcon being measured for his gulag uniform, as we speak. It isn’t nice to question dear leader.

I think KnightHawk has stumbled upon an excellect idea. Compile and publish a book of BJG poetry. Let the proceeds help fund the costs of the BJG website. Or else the operators of the website donate whatever portion of net revenue to a worthy charity or cause.

The poetry coming forth tonight was as voluminous as the CO2 and ash spilling from an Icelandic volcano…People unaware of this site do not know the pure pleasure they are a missin’…
[123]
Yeah, Dad and I started talking books a short while back, just haven’t the slightest clue how to go about it (we are usually on the reading end of things lol).

Want to see real violent racists at work?
“A white supremacist lawyer was stabbed and beaten to death by a black neighbour who had done yard work for him at his home in Pearl, Mississippi.
A preliminary post mortem showed Richard Barrett, 67, was stabbed multiple times in the neck and bashed in the head, Sheriff Ronnie Pennington said.
He had burns over 35 per cent of his body, though investigators believe he was killed on Wednesday night and his house set on fire Thursday to cover up his death.
Pennington did not disclose a motive but said neighbour Vincent McGee, 22, was charged with murder on Thursday and deputies charged three other people in the case on Friday.

Well JM – First I start saving them – along with the author and the date, then categorize each (where possible) will help with the index or the ability to break it up by chapters so to speak where you could intro each chapter setting up the context of the environment\news at the time.
As for getting it published (beyond the creation and editing process) you have two primary options I think:
a) Go the relative online route lulu.com or various other services.
b) Contact one of the more conservative book publishers with the draft.
Or you could do a… get a feel for interest then b.
I have no idea if it’s viable outside the blog-o-sphere though, don’t know what the market is in general for poetry – least of all one of the conservative perspective (always thought it was more a liberal genre), gotta be a generally small audience I would think.
I actually could envision two of them, one collection though November\December 2010, and one from about that time though Jan 2012.
[126]
Oh and before one of our posters decides to sue you for using thier work.. on the poetry thread or a disclaimer at the bottom of the comments box in general you might want to just just add a line about anything original you post here you granting BJG the right at it’s sole discretion to use or republish. Fairly standard to see that buried somewhere on most sites these days anyway; not that 99.9% of people are going to care.

*********************************************
I have never published a book, but my late Mom published 3 books of poetry. First one when she was 63 years old, second one when she was 65, and third one in 1996 when she was an 82 year old widow—7 years before her passing. And most of those last seven years she still wrote her poems, and though those hundreds were never published, we kept them all after her passing. Not bad for a country farm girl whose formal education only extended through ninth grade.
Her Mom and Dad lived about 15 or so miles from the town where the high school was; there was no school bus transportation back then. Folks from “the country” had to pay room and board to a willing family in the town in order for the “country” kids to be able to attend the town school. My Mom had three sisters and her Dad could not afford to continue sending them all to high school.
First two books she typed up the pages herself on her trusty manual typewriter, and had a local mom and pop printing outfit lay it out, reproduce and do the binding. For the third book a friend (40 years her junior) volunteered to type it up (Mom did pay her some money for her efforts though). Had to send a copy off to the Feds when she applied for the copyright.
Cost to produce each paperback book was around $1500. She had several hundred of each book produced. She gave some as gifts and sold the rest from home basically at cost to recoup her expenses.
With home computer programs and cut and paste, etc. it should be “comparatively” simple to lay out the draft pages to be photo ready. Contact some local print shops and see how much the production cost would be today to print X number of books of X inches dimensions, with X number of pages. Where you market and sell your book (other than on line on your website) would be the biggest obstacle I would think.
Mom’s three poetry books were 71, 74 and 158 pages, respectively.

Or visit http://www.lulu.com (check out the publish area) upload the finished pdf, cover art etc.. a quick check if you order like 50 or so in paper back it’s like 5.75-8$ a book – Or for even less they’ll publish and list it on amazon for you and handle it all and just take 20% off the top in addition to manufacture cost noted above. Didn’t know till I just checked how much easier they’ve made it (relatively speaking), had only heard of the site from someone months ago. They will assign a free ISBN # as well as the barcode image for you as well. Pretty slick – I’m starting to reconsider some of my own book idea’s tonight – always wanted to write some political thriller about a situation where Texas seceded (I better hurry it might not non-fiction soon enough).
Tools needed.. either a recent copy of ms-word or acrobat; could probably just use anything so long as it converts to distilled pdf.
