for Barbara Boxer and Teddy Kennedy
John Roberts hates women and blacks,
you know, his federalist finery adorning
Jim Crow’s bones—their hollow rattle
yielding the hideous song of separate
but equal;
Not to mention —
the pearl string around his wife’s throat
the bony fingers of Eisenhower’s gin-
soaked America—a conservative Eden
of homebaked breads and violent hate,
Paradise regained…*
You’re channeling Gwendolyn Brooks?
I sometimes like to express my anti-authoritarianism in dainty verse.
“It would be very difficult for me to vote to confirm someone to the Supreme Court whom I know would overturn Roe v. Wade and return our country to the days of the 1950s.” –Dianne Feinstein
Aw, heck Dianne. What does a decade or two matter when you’re discussing Supreme Court decisions? Anyway, it’s not like she’s on the Judiciary Commit…Oh, crap.
Isn’t that kind of like a litmus test, what she is talking about right there?
“Parasie Regained”, sure, quality Milty reference, but as far as parody poesy, you can’t beat
“Thrombosis is a cruel mistress”
yeah, yeah, sorry, “Paradise”…or Parasie, it’s a Coleridge reference!
Anyway, scroll down for the parody-immune, Even In Michigan
Hey, you stole that from the Washington Post. No hat tip?
Veeshir,
No hat tip for the Post, however, yes, I should have rightfully acknowledged the talented Mr. Lileks
After all the bleats he’s given me, too, I’m such a selfish bastard sometimes, sorry, jim.
