What, One, Man, Calls, Poetry, I, Call, Retaliation

By Noah



I make it a point to answer back when it comes to the pleas for money from people who have repeatedly demonstrated that they care a whole more about my money than they care about either me or those who live in circumstances similar to mine. One such target of my contempt is the DSCC. They are one of my regulars! Sometimes, I just click reply and do a little bit of verbal shin-kicking. Sometimes, I do a little Internet stalking or tracking and send a little email packet of vitriol directly to their office. A couple of times, I have even gotten a lame-o response. A good cell phone plan can come in handy for this sort of thing, too! Yeah, some might call me immature, but I've made it to senior citizen status so what the hell. I've earned the right and it makes me feel better. It's my version of Primal Scream Therapy and all it costs me is time. If I even have to borrow from my personal sleep bank, I don't care. I'll have better dreams; having let off some steam... and I have a lot of steam!



This morning's email brought another feel good email from the DSCC. If I drank coffee, you might not be getting this post. That's just another reason not to drink coffee. I enjoy being in touch with my true nature. This email made the mistake of asking me to enter a contest. I love contests! It asked me to come up with some words for the glorious DSCC Poetry Magnet Contest. Count me IN! The email even stated that my "words could appear on refrigerators across America!" Funny how this message from the DSCC failed to mention that, because of the actions of both Republicans and their Blue Dog/ConservaDem brethren, people have less and less to put in their refrigerators. Some people don't even have enough money to pay the electric bill to run the fridge, but I wouldn't be so bold as to expect the battalions of well-dressed asswipes in Washington to know that, or to even give a damn now, would I?



So, here's my list of words. I had other words, but I decided not to use them. At this point, I think some of these chimps know that other, more expletive words are hiding right behind the words in my list. They may never honestly feel my pain but perhaps they can feel a tiny bit of my anger and that's the point of the exercise. I invite all of you readers to follow my fine example and use the DSCC's contest to let off a little steam of your own. Don't worry about using all of it. I have a feeling that it's easily replenished. 



The list: BOTH, PARTIES, SELLING, OUT, THE, MIDDLE, CLASS, HOW, STUPID, DO, YOU, THINK, WE, ARE, DEBT, DEAL, IS, A, SURGE, IN, THE, WAR, AGAINST, THOSE, WHO, AIN'T, RICH, I, WILL, VOTE, GREEN, OR, LEAVE, MY, BALLOT, BLANK, BEFORE, VOTING, FOR, REPUBLICANS, OR BLUE, DOGS, MORONS, YOUR, LIMO, AND, SUIT, TARGETS, FOR, EGGS    



Postscript... Poetry In Motion



Did you know "race car" spelled backwards spells "race car"?



That "eat" is the only word that if you take the first letter and move it to the last, spells its own past tense, "ate"?



And if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans" and add a few more letters, it spells: Shut the FUCK UP you free-loading, progress-blocking, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, violent hypocrites, and deal with the fact that you nearly wrecked the country under the Bu$h/Cheney cabal and that our current PRESIDENT IS BLACK.
