Out . . .


. . . of proportion; a frequent condition of things in the political arena . . .



(from Al Franken: Giant of the Senate by Al Franken)
". . . New Ulm, (MN) was founded by German immigrants. . . (and) boasts an enormous monument to Arminius, the Germanic warrier who led the slaughter of twelve to fifteen thousand Romand soldiers in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. . . . locals call the . . . statue "Hermann the German". . . while addressing a small crowd one fall afternoon in 2007, I'm standing in the shadow of a massive monument to Hermann the German. And I had been in comedy for thirty-five years. So what immediately occurred to me was: "Now, I grew up in St. Louis Park, and we had a much smaller statue than Hermann the German here. Ours was called 'Stu the Jew.'" But I didn't!  I didn't say it!. . .  it would get written up not as "Coleman Takes Hilarious Franken Joke Way, Way, Ridiculously out of Context," but as "Republicans Slam Franken for Blaming Holocaust on New Ulm.". . . "

Spoken . . .



. . . like a  true 'stable' genius . . .


". . . "And they're constantly trying to come up with a new – people go to a hospital and they catch – they go for a heart operation – that's no problem, but they end up dying from – from problems. You know the problems I'm talking about. There's a whole genius to it.". . .  “We’re fighting – not only is it hidden, but it’s very smart. Okay? It’s invisible and it’s hidden, but it’s – it’s very smart.”. . . "

AEFD . . .


A E  F D
You don' know what it means to me.
Not quite as simple as your ABCs,
But still of lofty value and degree.

Hope . . .



It won’t happen.
Turmoil’s not round the bend for us.
All controls are in place;
Neat in their space

See the keeper’s
Keeping vigilant watch
Through a window obscured.
This I assure.

It just can’t
Happen here.

No one saw it
Sneaking up round the corner.
Was like a thief in the night
Without a fight.

Quite the artist.
Candy-coating what he’s saying
For his own selfish means.
That’s how he leans.

Advocate progressive-sounding ideas.
Tell the people what they want to hear.

There’s no hiding
Dissatisfaction you feel.
Keeps on burning inside.
Still you abide.


Won't

Sound . . .

. . . like some U.S. president that has been in the news lately?



(from The Three Christs of Ypsilanti by Milton Rokeach)
". . . As Anna Freud writes:  This mechanism belongs to a normal phase in the development of the infantile ego, but, if it recurs in later life, it indicates and advanced stage of psychic disease....Under the influence of shock ... it denies the facts and substitutes for the unbearable reality some agreeable delusion. . ."

Class . . .



(from Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them:  A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken)
". . . Anytime a liberal points out that the wealthy are disproportionately benefiting from Bush's tax policies, Republicans shout, "class warfare!" . . . In her book A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century, Barbara Tuchman writes about a peasant revolt in 1358 that began in the village of St. Leu and spread throughout the Oise Valley. At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight, and roasted him on a  spit in front of his wife and kids. Then, after ten or twelve peasants violate the lady, with the children still watching, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her husband and then killed her. . . That is class warfare. . .  Arguing over the optimal marginal tax rate for the top one percent is not. . . "
