    Michele Bachmann: AN ODE


    Sometimes I am asea. I know not what to write about. Whereas, most of the time, I hold myself back or write something and hide it for awhile. The last three days have been remarkable. I arise and come to my computer and there is homage to me, while I am working on an homage to TheraP. So I stare at that all day. Then the next day I wake up to one of the finest blogs anyone could read on the internet and it is Viper's (Ali) and he begins it with two words. My name. Now I am even more embarrassed. One thing about being unknown, everybody leaves you alone. If you make a mistake, who cares?

    Grouch came to find me in my hermitage to ask if he could help me with my computer problems. If I knew any tech, I would explain it to him. But I will not leave him alone now.
    I mean, I will get his advice. But he cannot help me with malais.

    Today I wanted my name to slide into the nothingness. Like LarryH says, we only have 24 hours and we evaporate. But Anger is sometimes my favorite muse. It gets my blood churning as they say, my temperature burning and and my fingers turning on the keys.

    In my state, the State of Minnesota we have had terrible people representing us in Congress and we have had saints.  One of the worst people, even over and above this Coleman fellow is Michele Bachmann. A real sicko.

    "I'm a foreign correspondent on enemy lines and I try to let everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington."
    or

    "I would say there are probably 30 keepers of the flame over here...The main thing we can do right now is be foreign correspondents reporting to you from enemy lines."

    On the issue of Obama's proposed cap-and-trade energy tax on Saturday's radio show, Representative Bachmann expanded on the war metaphor:

    "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people - we the people - are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

    This is one sick f&*^ as they say. 

    This is the woman who alleged that there were people in Congress who were secretly conspiring to destroy our country during her campaign. SHE ALMOST LOST. Because of those statements. At any rate: here is an ode, to Medussa the many armed goddess who turned people to stone just by looking at her.

    Michele, oh hell
    These are words that
    That blend together
    Hell
    My Michelle

    You want to
    You want to
    You waaaant to
    Lobby for the rich
    You are sure the Bitch
    I will say the only
    Words I know that you
    Understand
    You're under arrest

    You call for the
    Armed resurrection
    You seem to understand
    That there is no command
    By the forces that
    Always seem to win
    Worse than that Palin
    My Michele


    Michele, Oh hell
    I sure do see you
    As the real danger
    A danger to all of us
    You make me cuss
    You're so worthless
    That few understand
    My Michele

    I want you
    I want you
    I waaaaaant you
    To really understand
    The more you call
    For violence
    The less you
    You seem to
    Comprehend
    The damage you can cause
    My Michelle       

    Michele oh hell
    You're from Minnesota
    Who could tell
    My Michelle
    The Land of the Humphrey
    The Frazier
    And McCarthy too
    You give us only mush
    You sound more like rush
    Until you're gone
    And the good have won
    I will fight you all the way
    Oh Michele

    I remind you that

    Paul Wellstone

    Fought for everything

    You deny

    Oh Michelle
