In less “pressing” news, PBS is on the budgetary chopping block. No more subversive Big Bird, no more Cassandra-shrill Nature/Nova predictions of planetary catastrophe, no more analytical News Hour, no more Masterpiece Theater, no more Ken Burns.
Let’s sing, all together now, “Don’t Take Me Out to the Ballpark.”
And how much will we save by eliminating PBS? $1.50 per taxpayer. Pennywise, for sure!
Meanwhile, well-compensated Secret Service agents guard Trump’s fine-lacquered sons as they open a “world class golfing resort” this weekend in Dubai. Back home in the USA, the Treasury is forking out a half-a-million a day to guard a high profile plagiarist in a glittering tower. One of the enemies-of-the-people who works at the Washington Post estimates that these Winter Southern White House Mar-a-Lago weekends run about 3 million dollars. Money well spent, for sure.!
I’m beginning to think electing a pussy-grabbing president starved for adulation who shares more in common with Kim Jong-Un than he does with Jeb Bush wasn’t a very good idea. It’s month now, and we don’t have a National Security Advisor.
As Bob Dylan once crooned, “Wow-we, pretty scary.”
Oops, wait. My muse, Euphonia Laquacia Doggerel, has a delivery. I’ll be right back.
The Emperor of Tangerine
Watch the prevaricator,
The tangerine-tinted one,
Gesticulating upon the stage
Whipping up whoppers
For his white supremacist base.
“The lying Press is Public-Enemy #1!”
Rave on, Dear Leader, rave on
You gonna end up like Al Capone.
Let be be finale of seem
The only emperor is the Emperor of Tangerine.
I had a professor, Dr. Ashley Brown, who knew Ezra Pound, who knew Wallace Stevens, and Dr. Brown once told me I was no Wallace Stevens.
Be that as it may, Trump ain’t exactly original with his press=enemy-of-the-people-proclamation.
Dig these blasts from the past:
By the way, there’s a special election in the 6th District of Georgia this April. Here’s something we can do to help undo: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/1/28/1626607/-Want-to-do-something-right-now-Then-donate-to-this-Democrat-running-in-a-House-special-election
