Blameless? . . .

Foreclosing on widows homes
Is one thing I’ve not done.
But if truth be told
That’s only one.
The life that I led before
Left nothing to be desired.
High on the hog until 
I was undone.

Otherwise blameless.
Upstanding citizen true.

So exemplary am I.
How upright I stand.
One lie here.
There one little fraud.
I’m just a man.

Lying; tampering; a plea deal.
Polling; disinformation; spike heel.

Recommended sentencing
Was max one score plus five.
Thanks, though, to judge Friend-of-Mine,
I’ll be revived.

Where . . .

 . . .  did it go?

https://www.timeout.com/newyork/live-music/best-jazz-clubs-in-nyc

On very special occasions,
When celebrating felt right,
This place we’d go to,
With ambience and wine,
On a Saturday night. 
Caricatures hung on the wall
Eavesdropping on our most intimate moments.
“I love you.”

It was essential to go there
To mark the passage of time
Between the dates we used to signify
The bond we shared and to dine.
Always served Angus A-1 prime
To patrons of each and every persuasion.
I loved you.

But now that place is all gone.
Where did our love go?
Where is the ambience and
McCafferty’s piano?

While you eat you’re serenaded 
By some local musician
Playing bad renditions of the popular songs.
You sing along.

And so it ended.
Our passion somehow
Just faded away.
And likewise too,
That place we held diving
Became a dance club today.
The memories come charging in.
Sweet dreams and all the romancing related
Are gone now.

Overdue . . .

https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/abekwok/2019/09/17/
phoenix-eliminating-overdue-library-book-fines/2348975001/

What are we doing in this place,
We two together?
Where are we heading, 
Into space unknown?

This group dynamic here
Is getting old this year.

Let in some brand-new air
And the get the dust out of there.
We’ve been together now
So long I don’t know how
It’s time to make a change.
It’s overdue.

How did we come to reach this state?
It once was better.
When will we be strong enough
To let it go?

We tried to make it last awhile.
At time we even though awhile forever.
But soon it didn’t fit our style
And it may never.

Now it seems like a hundred years.
Never thought I’d make it.
Still, I search but may
Already have what I deserve.

Looks . . .

monster-moto-mega-moto-go-kart-tire.html

. . . like Goodyear has the CORRECT idea . . . 

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/goodyear-distances-itself-viral-image-drew-trump-s-ire-n1237300)". . . "Fostering an inclusive, respectful workplace is important to establish teamwork and build culture, which is another reason we ask associated not to engage in political campaigning of any kind in the workplace — for any candidate, party or political organization," the statement said.And the statement emphasized that "Goodyear has always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so. These are not mutually exclusive.". . . "

(Evidently ONE resident of the White House does not agree.)

Again . . .

http://www.roamcomms.com/blog/repetition-of-the-message

 . . . a few facts never hurt anyone . . . 

(from https://www-nydailynews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-puerto-rico-aoc-kim-guilfoyle-republican-20200825-y2sqqdc7wbae7ajrqbtt3utpiq-story.html?outputType=amp&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D&amp_js_v=0.1#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nydailynews.com%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2Fny-puerto-rico-aoc-kim-guilfoyle-republican-20200825-y2sqqdc7wbae7ajrqbtt3utpiq-story.html)". . . “The woman the GOP picked as their ‘proud’ Latina ... didn’t seem to know that Puerto Rico is already part of the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning. . . .AOC, a firebrand lawmaker with roots on the island, noted that Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens by birthright for more than a century. . . She slammed Guilfoyle for backing the Republican portrayal of Latino Americans — and Puerto Ricans in particular—- as foreigners in the land of their birth. . . “It reflects their belief that Latinos aren’t real citizens,” wrote Ocasio-Cortez, who is cruising to reelection for a second term representing chunks of Queens and the Bronx. . .Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality and prosecutor, got low marks for her Monday speech that she shouted into the camera even though there was no live audience. . ."

Bizarro . . .

http://placetobenation.com/seinfeld-the-ptbn-series-rewatch-the-bizarro-jerry-s8-e3/

. . . Donnie . . . 

(from http://placetobenation.com/seinfeld-the-ptbn-series-rewatch-the-bizarro-jerry-s8-e3/)
". . . he has turned the Republican National Convention into a fantasyland version of his presidency. In this carefully curated world, staged by federal officials in Washington and Jerusalem, Trump has defeated the coronavirus, saved the economy, built a border wall, established peace in the Middle East, recalled U.S. forces from theaters of war, and even become a champion of immigrants at a time when he is sharply curtailing their access. . . The distance between reality and Trump's presentation is both a glaring weakness for the president and a gap. . ."
