Trolling the NYT Editorial Pages...

Working on a piece that kind of starts like this:

"We want our country back!"
Gil-Scott Heron rests in peace,
Yet, his piece "B-Movie" might as well be prophesy,
Predicting your look forward is two-faced like the Roman Deity Janus: facing forward while looking back to last week,
To a utopia existent only in your Agmydala driven reptilian minds...

So, you're willing to put out obfuscations and outright lies,
Whacked conspiracy theories on falsified birth certificates, death panels, etceteras,
Voter ID cum Diebold voter purge cum 21st century poll taxes...

Tell me: since when did obliterating the 8th commandment constitute a "family value?"

Get back to you on that. Here are the articles that made me think and the last one laugh out loud!

Checkpoint: Facts Take a Beating in Acceptance Speeches, by Michael Cooper


New York Times Opinion Pages
Editorial: Mr. Romney Reinvents History
Op-ed columnist: The Medicare Killers, by Paul Krugman
Op-ed columnist: Party of Strivers, by David Brooks
Op-ed columnist: The Real Romney, by David Brooks (this is the one I fell out over)
