Skeedlewompin

In honor of His health care bill

If it must be up or down, then I
declare myself oblique, bent, curved,
reticulated, backwards, side-to-side,
a waverer, a driving drunk who swerved
although the road was straight, a compass-based
ellipse, a tangent, hyperbolic line,
un-Euclidian as time and space,
trigonometric as the function, sine,
a ripple propagated where a stone
disturbed a stream, a probability
that won’t obligingly collapse, a lone
and undimension’d singularity,
mass of a mountain, scale of a flea, a blip,
a turn, a pirouette, a slide, a slip.

Oblique, bent, curved, mass of a mountain, etc.? Is this about your dick again?

anon@12:51 ... although the lines exhibit fine craftsmanship (as always with I's stuff), they did ring that chime for me also. In particular, a certain limerick somehow came to mind immediately:

There once was an archaeologist named Throstle
who found a most interesting fossil.
He knew from the bend
and the twist at the end
'Twas the penis of Paul the Apostle.

I liked it.

Did you hear that "reasonable conservative" Jon Swift, of the Swift Report, is dead of a heart attack? His mom says so in the comments to his last post (which was a year ago, and about the death of the son of a blogger friend of his)?

Life is sad, and so is love (asserted songstress Kate Bush.)

Pardon my error - "the Swift Report" is a different blog, one that entered inactivity years ago - the recently deceased blogged at

The Dems'll get there eventually. I have a lot of faith in American leftism and the state. They haven't often failed. Uh, implementing their agenda, I mean.
