Our Lizard Boy Merely Flaunts Crusty Skin - Not His Fault They Keep Him in a Crate

The reason Obama was permitted to run for president and win is because he maintains the .06% less shitty than Republican model while the Right gets shittier, which the media then calls the new mainstream. He is the stealth candidate.

A week ago tomorrow I was in a Burger King in Falconer, NY for a diet caffeine and a piss. It was 1:00-ish, the restaurant was empty but for the three old retirees nursing coffee you see in any fast food restaurant at any hour of the day. Lorain and Mt Vernon OH, Utica and Baldwinsville NY, Meadville PA, storefronts are shuttered, shopping plazas abandoned. The hot button issue is a mosque in New York?

Yes, this is reiteration of what I've been yodeling here lately and often, but the elites see a once in a generation chance to break the spine of everything they hate most about the rights of the littles. That the elite know it's all going to hell regardless only increases their determination to fuck up the littles, fuck the little fuckers up good. Obama understands this is the minimum requirement for keeping his job.

• Landru's had his obamapostasy. It's not particularly profane by standards, though I agree that Obama is a fuckstick.
• As for Gibbs ragging the "professional Left," what does this do to the Elizabeth Warren decision? Think Obama's willing to run the risk of cable and talk derision that he first denounces leftists and then nominates their hero? Me neither.
• YFWP's Ruth Marcus applauds Gibbs. "The Gibbs backlash shows how foolhardy it is to argue with people who don't even have to buy ink." Heh.
• UPDATE! Sweet! People at YFWP have noticed I said it would take mighty restraint to keep me from braining FAT FUCKER! Marc FAT FUCKER! Thiessen with a shovel.
• Gate's sacrificial lambs.
• Told ya.
• On Wikilinks (VII).
• UPDATE! Here we go. I should start a pool: I'll say August 2011, though Obama might be ordered to start it sooner depending on the elite's need.
• Waggy fingers wagging.
• Digby still doesn't know (or won't acknowledge) that Democrats are Republicans.
• Pigs are pussies.
• UPDATE! Photos from Hamburg.
• Execute these motherfuckers.
• Crisis in Dickerson!
• Purple Line!
• MOCO austerity! Tax the fucking mcmansionists.
• Popularity and artistic depth.
• UPDATE! Mark Strand, who I haven't read in years. Heh, what I remember most about Mark Strand is taking a date to see him read and then listening to her afterward the rest of the evening talking about how good-looking Strand was. Since I read Strand long after that woman passed out of my life, I'd like to think I stopped reading Strand for reasons other than jealousy, but...
• On the sillyass 15 Most Overrated Writers at the shitty HuffPo.
• Thomas Pynchon, Man of Mystery.
• This week's new releases w/MP3.
• What you can buy me for my birthday (the Chopin, please).
• UPDATE! Today's theme song: Welcome!
• What New York used to be.
• UPDATE! New theory.
• Teen angst.

A WORD FROM THE FAT LADY

Gabrielle Calvocoressi

It isn't how we look up close
so much as in dreams.

Our giant is not so tall,
our lizard boy merely flaunts

crusty skin- not his fault 
they keep him in a crate

and bathe him maybe once a week.
When folks scream or clutch their hair

and poke at us and glare and speak
of how we slithered up from Hell,

it is themselves they see:
the preacher with the farmer's girls

(his bulging eyes, their chicken legs)
or the mother lurching towards the sink,

a baby quivering in her gnarled 
hands. Horror is the company

you keep when shades are drawn.
Evil does not reside in cages.
