“America The Beautiful” Is Sung On The Campaign Trail
America The Beautiful Is Sung On the Campaign Trail
Oh beautiful (ahem-hem)
For spacious (swallow)
For amber waves of (votes).
For purple mount–
(My Ma-jesty…)
Above the fruited (pockets).
America (corporations)
(Are people, my friend).
God shed his (Super-Pacs)
On thee (ahem).
And crown thy (elections)
With (tons of cash),
From sea to shining….
(And the next verse goes something….
Like this….)
(I’ve edited this just slightly-cutting three or four words and adding a fake hyphen–since first posting so I could tell it to the G-Man–the host with the most–for Friday Flash 55!)

It was like watching a wind-up toy. The man has the charisma of a rutabega–which wouldn’t matter except I’m not sure there’s anything inside that Armani suit, or alternately, the pre-broken in jeans and borrowed Brokeback Mountain coat but a lonely ego looking for something to swallow. You nailed it, K.

Funny, sad, and mostly true, I’m afraid.
