A Christmas Poem

The polls were in, the people spoke

One pure patriotic expression.

“A tax on any is an offense to all.”

We must end this Tyrannic Repression.

Tax Relief for the Best Americans

Will end this Great Recession.

“The Time Has Come,” the Boehner said

“To talk of many things,

Of whom we'll cut and whom we'll slash,

How much for old gold rings?

When will manufacturing come springing back

And whether pigs have wings.”

After some hard time they came to a rock

For a sit-down Adult Conversation.

The voters were hopeful, awaiting their cuts

In forced health and gummit education.

Hoping the de-funding and repealing work

Won't slow down investigations.

The Boehner cried heroically

For the dearth of the American dream.

Then cut human and community development frauds

Making America lean and mean

Except for essential National Defense

And their cool futuristic machines.

“You lied to us,” the Voters whined,

But the Rove and the Barbour, they chuckles.

“Get back to work, you lazy slobs,”

As they swill on fat cash and pig knuckles.

We'll all get a lesson in what tighten up means

In American flag belt buckles.

Here just a few reasons

Four Tea Party leaders appearing on Lawrence O'Donnell refused to call Social Security and Medicare socialism and couldn't name a single federal program that was more like socialism than those.  One suggested eliminating the Department of Education by reducing it to a subcabinet level.  One suggested cutting Medicare in half because the other half he paid for with his contributions.  Sharron Angle still insists that Social Security and Medicare and food stamps violate the First Commandment ("Thou shalt not have any other gods before me").  And

Why can't we be this America again? (part 2)

Once again the Beagle asks plaintively --

if post-2001 is the post-ironic period, then 1965 and 1966 were the pre-ironic period, right?

What's wrong with America

Folks are watching "reality shows" instead of this

Back then even squares were hip

The original Fox & Friends

Wikipedia says the Fox News morning show was named after the great Ranier Werner Fassbinder film, Fox and His Friends, about a (gay German) working class guy who whores himself out to buy a lottery ticket and then proceeds to get fleeced by his new-found friends.

The Beagle Kultur mavens definitely recommend this film if you ever get the chance. Fassbinder plays the lead, Franz "Fox" Biberkopf (the same name as the lead character in the great opus Berlin Alexanderplatz). We have never seen Fox and Friends so we can't make any comparisons, but we have seen the 15-hour Berlin Alexanderplatz multiple times.

Biberkopf = Stupidhead

So the actual appropriate non-ironic title for the show should be "Stupidhead and Friends."

We're not kidding.

Important Notice to All and Sundry

From time to time, the Beagletown Bugle sends notices to hundreds of people nationwide with little or no confidence that recipients are in line with Beagletarian principles.

Beagletarians in good standing must 1) occasionally read the posts, and 2) well, it's just the one. But we are concerned there may be "subscribers" among us who do not wish to receive these periodic updates, and we find it troubling.

We still believe in Liberty with a capital L here, and we do not want to force anyone to read it against their will. We are not singling out the person who confessed they had no business getting the Beagletown Bugle in a recent poll. As with all polls, we assume that one person's opinion stands for ONE-FOURTH OF ALL SUBSCRIBERS.

We will hunt you down and take you off the rolls. At your request.

Banned for syntax

We are inspired by the example of Dick Armey and Jim DeMint who are determined to eliminate any vestiges of candidates or officeholders who are not willing to engage in magical thinking as a "solution" to urgent national needs and who do not have the courage to consider every governing decision in the prism of partisan politics.

Under which liberal president...

Did the size of federal government increase by more than twice as much as during the Ford and Carter Administrations combined?
Did the Dept of Education budget double?
Did foreign aid more than double?
Did the federal debt triple?
Did the federal govt reverse tax cuts given just two short years before and impose the largest increase in federal taxes in American history at that time?
Did the federal govt infringe on people's right not to have seat belts or air bags?
Did the number of federal employees increase by 230,000 pointy headed bureaucrats in eight years?

You all know the answer.

Some of you might even remember the details.

Some of you may not care about the facts.
