Dear Friends, There once was a faction from Sodom,Abortion trans and despotism’s totem,Seeking a fight,Lived by gaslight,Pretending to be the victim wielding a gun. Some people are members of a herd,Believing the line even if absurd,He’s a panic-est,It’s priceless,Hey look … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Hollywood can’t leave it up to fate,A thirst for power they can’t slake,Why’s it going wrong,Singing that old song,Because over politics they self immolate. He called for the murder of kids, (Virginia AG Jay Jones)But it didn’t raise … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, A foreign military on our soil,What amounts to a living boil,Stupidity writ large,Who’s in charge,To reward terrorism’s mortal toil. How many people sarcasm so calls,But punching down cast some palls,Where to box,It’s a paradox,So when punching up aim … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The British elite want you to know,They care about you and Jethro,A proud lot,Sniffing snot,Because they really love their blow. If your not socialist you’re fascist they say,A simple duality and a simple minded way,A definitional distraction,With propaganda’s … Continue reading →

Absurdity, Universals, and Despotism

Posted on November 30, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, despots use modifiers to pervert universals to mean their opposites. They see morality as contingent on political ideal, justice contingent on a political favor, and a crime contingent on the criminal. The result is … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Once there lived a man called Voltaire,Deep into philosophy he would stare,He said with a fright,And some insight,Absurdity leads to atrocity so take care. Thune is an unimpressive politician,Threading a needle with intuition,He said herding cats,I’ll empower democrats,Making … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Arguing in generality is using universals,Kung Sung Lung reasoned into reversals,But language is inept,The mind adept,So we’re reduced to convincing by commercials. Criminals in Canada the government’s on your side,Victims mustn’t defend themselves or even run and hide,They’ve … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, I have to ask is the press right in the head, Bringing protesters to an interview it’s said, They’ve taken sides, Our spiritual guides, But without the right news they’ll make it instead. Some want to … Continue reading →

Progressivism And The Great Depression

Posted on July 4, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the worldwide depression of the 1930s is often attributed to the 1929 stock market crash, Smoot-Hawley trade restrictions leading to a trade war, the failure of American Bank, or the Fed’s subsequent failure to … Continue reading →

Excessive Leisure

Posted on July 2, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, excessive idleness is as corrosive to the soul as sulfuric acid is to limestone. As the old saying goes, “An idle mind is the Devil’s playground.” Idleness creates boredom, which becomes a desire to … Continue reading →
