№ 874: Freedom Of Belligerence

CHAPEL HILL (June 8) 
Why is there not a church or a chapel
where we can worship Our Donnie,
our grand New Savior, 
whose courageous behavior,
is undoing all things Obama-y?
We may be a failed state,
but our gun laws are GREAT
and anyway who needs THE WHO
whose “rock opera” Tommy
is an abomination,
just between me and you.
Donnie inspires. He encourages viruses,
pollution, collusion, bad air.
With Donnie to guide us, waddling beside us,
we overcome any temptation to share
anything.
With anyone.
Anytime.
Anywhere.
Grab and hang on to all that you can.
THAT'S what it means to be an American.
Might wins the fight. Might does make right.
'N it more'n might he'p if'n y'all are reeaal white.

№ 664: Hopeless?

EVERYWHERE (August 19)

Can we — PLEASE! — stop speaking of “race”?
Really, there is NO. SUCH. THING!
Skin color, ethnicity, language, religion.
Nationality! Culture! Those distinctions
that do have some meaning.
Albeit slight, despite what you're feeling.

But were we to recognize “race” has no place,
that still would not heal our schisms.
Plus we would need to invent a new word
to replace what today's called “racism”.

№ 622.4: EXTRA! With Justice Thomas In Descent

Excluding Black Jurors in Curtis Flowers Case Violated Constitution, Supreme Court Rules (Paywall)

“Equal justice under law requires a criminal trial free of racial discrimination in the jury selection process,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote.

Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. He said that Mr. Flowers was plainly guilty...

IMPEACH BRETT KAVANAUGH, MS (June 21)

Mississippi prosecutors must not become lax
and let juries deal with only facts.
A clear Poitier slap in the face
of Mississip's hist'ry on matters of race.
