On a weepy, tired Sunday with the sun in the sky and the wind at your back…..

The dreams of our forefathers brave and bold

Humble and proud

Magical and renown

Through history’s judgements

And history’s tricks

Have been left forever to a bunch of clowns…..

Listen to the mocking birds

Dominance Games: A good little staunch questioner

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent do you seek to understand the nexus of the issue at hand and steer your subject towards elucidation or the use of rancid speech as waste of time?

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent are you there  for the thrill of speaking to one gracious enough to recognize your presence or are you there to allow them use you like a three dollar transaction so as to spout as many vile mind numbing set pieces, non answers and talking points as inhumanly possible to any and all of what may pass for imitation of thought or caricature of  question?

As a staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent do you get thrills up and down your spine when you are used and abused as no more than a hot little megaphone for  stridently honed plays to the bottom  and wild dances of glittering rhetorical twists, turns and hedonistic auto stimulation?

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent are you thrilled to find out that you can go through a complete interview without ever getting the slightest inkling that your subject has any nascent or sentient human qualities what so ever?

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent do you appreciate the inability of your subjects to structure logical arguments dependent upon false conclusions being built magnificently upon false premises so that false smiles can decry feted stimulation?

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent do you revel in being the bent over constant stooge for the searing scathing thrusting agendas of the munificent constant bores who see themselves as interesting and full of god’s bodily fluids?

As a good little staunch questioner of those who are of a political bent do you feel the warming seas of total immersion taking you over, cascading around you and massaging you with bulbous, smothering, withering, eviscerating dementia?

Dominance Games: One more damned time…..the rancid bastards

Simple damned questions.  What lovelies evolve to power and control?  What lovelies evolve away?  What are the sweet little mechanisms thereof? Who gives enough of a damn to recognize broken mechanisms?  Who gives enough of a damn to give a damn about how a vote is no more than a show and the vote for things  preset and gamed in the first place is a damned stupid show.  Its the system stupid.  Its the suckers stupid.  It the ideology stupid.

And once again ..with feeling…

And….

And…..

The red roses are red

The blue violets are blue

Violate my little life…..

Love the rancid bastards

We all stand in line.

Dominance Games: Hate works

Posted in Commentary, media, News, opinion, partsanship, political analysis, political satire, political science, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 16, 2011 by B Schiff

What checks do unfettered capitalists see as valid checks upon unfettered capitalists?  What state intrusions upon functioning businesses are seen as too much state intrusions upon functioning businesses by the standard bearers of state protection?  Protect the individual from the all encompassing state, protect the individual from the strangling tentacles of self serving business?  Of the partisans, hear no evil…see no evil….the magic mirrors of the faithful reflect only beauty.  All trust is true trust.

People wonder.  Support those who work against their own interests?  Threats to Labor’s  protection see it melting away with the toxic wastes of the viral abusers.  The dictation of policy and rules and turning employers and managers into employees comes hard charging and virulent.   Freedom to prosper as one wishes brings the need for paid help and competition sets the rate for needed good help.   Do good… need and must pay for good….unless it don’t.  Work hard and contribute skills and energies  upon which talents and work ethic rest and be not valued but seen as a replicable, replaceable  commodity…an undesirable temporarily necessary business evil, expense.   Rules from the top down.  Rules from the bottom up.

Oligarchies stand in place as they do.  They can enforce their positions, as they can.  They can convince the mass to let current order work its way through to happy glitzy outcomes for all.  Set the message.  Sell the message.  Indulge the fear.  Demonize alternatives.  Oligarchies of wealth and power are fun.  Oligarchies of power and influence, of dictation and thought, they are fun.  The dictation of standards, the dictation of living standards, hates and demons are strong.   Alternative views are for limp wristed thinkers.   are worse.  Hates are strong, give muscle, breeding, force, power.  They give the most pleasure, the fun of all.  Virulent hate of virulent enemies keeps our games going and our turkeys screeching.  Hate is the mustard on the hot dog of hate..

Dominance Games: The logical structure of idea is an academic’s fantasy.

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2011 by B Schiff

So what?  Important metrics of behavior are all gone.  Reason is a shadow … it is now reported.  It is unused and misused anyway.  Interviewers are at the mercy of the interviewee most of the time as the power metric favors the latter when anything of worth is mentioned.  All set ups all the time.  All position jockeying all the time.  Politics is power and the business of politics is power and the business of the business of politics is power.  The back bites are always huge.

Civilized history.  Trials of insouciant thought and defining principle.  The backbone of  daunting things.  The regal.  The royal.  The sublime.   Fairness.  Temperate temperance.   Demeanor.   Cool.  Tolerance.  Tradition.  The  sullen hammer.  The respect.  The fear.  The taut and tight.   Tis fear all about.

The tacky hammers.  The gods of Olympus .  The want of a hammer.  The hammers of good avocation.    Political hammers.  The whip hand, unnerving posture and the act of being better than their lessers grinding hands  creating fairy tales.

Balance power, rough justice, principle in the winds.  In the court of courts tough bastards know rough justice, damned fools know watching, who really thinks any plays are about problems when the jokers can’t even define , label, peruse or sniff out problems or agree on a common workable definition.  The logical structure of idea is an academics fantasy.  Better just shoot and kill.

Dominance Games: The punisher cometh…he cometh hard

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, News, opinion, political analysis, political satire, Politics, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on June 14, 2011 by B Schiff

We strive for accomplishment and sincerity.  We wing our way towards the melancholy ways of fierce combat.  We wish to be absolved of sins and be of the pure.  When the games are rigged losers suffer.  When the games are rigged those who live by the games get singed.  The game is the game.  The structure of the game is the outcome.  Redistrict.  Govern.  Be amused.

Action.  Need, like and revere action.  The  milk of political debt.  The milk of political debauchery.  The tool against entrenched evil doers and holy gnomes.  We celebrate action.  Desperate for balance and control, we celebrate action.  Stack and attack the transgressors.  Usurp the trust heaven sent they cerebrally represent.  See the deal that is the true force of things.  Power dictates the balancing of forces.  The avoidance of chaos demands giving to Caesar, to the power brokers, the right to power first…problem solving as needed, as a convenience, a courtesy.  Debates upon core principles are mere slogans without logical construct.

The avenging angel, the hidden conqueror, the mighty sword.  The punitive beast is always as the rotten bastards stand up and shout.  It is a cathartic thing and we wish mounds of it to spread.  We wish the absolutes.   Absolute power, a joy and pleasure.  Punishing power a prime factor in joy.  Heed the rumble rotten bastards.  Heed the rumble.

…the punisher cometh…he cometh hard.  the threat, the image, the fair warning…the vitality …. the life blood of certain restitution, redemption.

The text of aggression is a quiet text.  It needs daily editing.  We edit.  The games stay dirty.  The text of aggression is the bible.  Dumb as they come we get what dumbness brings…the players who play us for the suckers we are.  Dumb as they come.  We demand no better.

Dominance Games: The righteous right all wrongs

Posted in Commentary, current events, media, News, opinion, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 13, 2011 by B Schiff

And the virulent shall be pure and the pure shall lead and the true shall beckon heaven and the good shall be forthright.

And the secure shall be strong and the tolerant shall falter and the self righteous shall be our sultry light in the skies.

And the humble shall be honored and the loud shall not be silenced.  The quiet shall not simmer.  The reflective shall have no time, shall have no home.  The reflective shall be taught to do no other thing.

The rich shall be of fire.  The poor shall be of disdain.  The winds shall not be of reaping.  The thieves shall not be of compromise.

Backs shall be straight.  Limbs shall be strong.  Aim shall be true.  Thoughts shall be lustful.

And the principles upon which we operate, the motives upon which we devour ourselves, the kings and queens upon whom we give crowning glory….they shall be fierce and bold and tirelessly partisan and mundane.

With operations secure, tactics lovable, power attainable, rewards wished for and devoured, status irrevocable, demonic possession certain…… the tireless sinners of tireless sin work mightily to strike their flags and work their wonder.

Pound the agendas of overriding principles…the agendas of derision and virtue.   Work hard  the purity of position.. it is there for the being.  The tactics steam of bludgeoning, of mashing, of pounding, crowning, frolicking, and breaking, burning, humbling, destroying….. war by any other means, war by all means….war is the beauty of the good soldier partisan…the very good mindless soldier partisan.

The high octane warriors of the here and now ….. their calling…. their mission… their honor and right.  They are not the weak sisters and empty vessels of weak kneed shakers.  Take no prisoners, spare no blood…be the warriors warrior…the true nobility of cause  The political cream of our enthralling epoch.

Home shall be where the heart is.  The righteous shall right all wrongs.

Dominance Games: Reap the wild dirge of rapscallion fancy

Posted in Commentary, current events, media, News, opinion, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, satire, technology, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 12, 2011 by B Schiff

We beg the grim reaper to not waste our poor little lives.  We watch the angels as they watch over us.  The little devils…they come from there, they come from from here, they saunter about and just come from every  which where.

We have our little lusts.  They have our little lusts.  We have our little  depravities.  They have our little depravities.   We are bold in manner, strong in virtue.  They just want to know the nobility of our character.   We just want our dear little selves spread around for all to see and know.  They will love us to death.  We will give money to strangers,  our lives to the depraved.

We lust for composure in a void.  They wish us no void, tell us no tale, love the ones they are with…us …always us….always lucky little us.   They marvel at the variety and depravity of  life’s blood.  No more sneaking through sins unapplauded, unwanted.  No more lust driven fancies.  No more fun.

The pleasure of deeply held perversion is gone with the wind.  The pleasure of deeply held perversion is a spectator sport for the thought police and the enemies of my soul..Let me entertain my enemies.  Let me give my lustful fantasies to others to enjoy.  They deserve it.  They need their thrills and fancies.  I need their prurient interest.  We all need the great arena of shared experience.  The oh so recognized theater of the primed absurd.

We all can reap the wild dirge of rapscallion fancy….and be better wonders for it.  We all can  reap the wild wind together and know that it is worth the breeze in the trees. it…the pains of the gains, the crud of the stealing of us.  Cheep thrills and good shopping, the main character, the star of the constant story of our dreary little lives.  Tawdry and good and fun and done..the passing panorama.  I liked it better when there were just hidden cameras and bugs in my bedroom.  There was a nice cozy sense of security there.
