Final Call For Spam (poetry)

Last call for Spam Poetry


An interesting take on the Plume affair


Mending the Rift with Mom

Reporting to the office....

I'm here. Yes, it is Wednesday but I've been under the weather.
I know I haven't posted in days and I suppose I'll have to serve a detention of the great blogger in the sky will at the very least snort at me to show his disappointment in me.

I've been wanting to mention something that is soon to be forthcoming and looks really different. Post Cards From A Summer Girl to be released soon by The Sun Rising Poetry Press

I suppose what seems so uniquely interesting about this is the medium the author uses to tell a story of a young woman who is missing; vanished with no trace, no explanation only a box of postcards and notes, dumped and spread out on the kitchen table. Postcards from a summer girl... Hence a story from a poetry book.

C. E. Laine is the author. This is her third published collection of poetry in book form. It is slated for a mid-august release and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

Cheney Can Go "Fuck Off!"

There, I feel much better too!

Who Let The Doggerel Out?

Oh THIS is good!

The Dropping of the F-Bomb

Yet another kind of "Shock and Awe" from the Bush/Cheney Administration reported today: Cheney Utters 'F-Word' in U.S. Senate?

Could this represent a major shift in language culture - The F word now easing into the Senate's everyday language?

But Wait!!!! Could there be fines? FCC

Ok folks... Which one of these stories is True? :)

Sloganator - Memorial

Quite a few of us had some fun with the sloganator during it's short life span on the Bush - Cheney Reelection web site. Maybe it was all that pent-up creativity, or maybe the release of all our frustrations with something that seems so perfectly wrong.

At any rate, here is dedication to that ill-conceived devise of the Bush campaign that no doubt got more hits by those who will likely not vote for him then those who might.

Turn up your volume and click here - a fitting tribute to a President that:

1. Can keep the best poker face while for the biggest lies.
2. Has a many reasons to go to war as they need to replace the last that no longer hold water.
3. Has decided the best substitute for "tax and spend Democrats" is to "spend and charge it to our children."
4. Gave seniors a RX card the Drug companies love!
5. Writes really bad poetry to his wife.

SLOGANATOR MEMORIAL

Thursday - checkpoint

I suppose I am a bit delinquent in posting.

I have written a fair number of rather crude drafts this week of things that have some promise... One thing I've managed into a second draft form, maybe one more revision will suffice. Have to see. I have it out for some critical view... perhaps I will work more on it yet this week.

A few items of interest:

The following intelligence is something the President might have wanted to consider - here.
