So we get beaten over the head every day with the mad wonks and spry slippers of politic land telling us sincerely that they are aware of and involved in dealing with the main important issues of the day.

They tell us true what today’s truths are…what tomorrows truths should be and what yesterdays parades of truths really were.  In  grand currant luminous wisdom they  impart to us the multileveled discount price of only having to listen.

Misery indexes, talking points, power presentations …..the real , the unreal, the imagined…what the hell… there can be a damned good story to sell, a damned good angle to use…a damned good lot of fool listeners to play with.   Slogans, baked truths, dilemmas, slithering vixens… the truth shall conquer all.  The game is on and the truth shall conquer all.   Sit and listen and care really.  Realities and complexities of any blow back…. the tricks of the trade

Hard edged eager takes on the world and its gold.   Renounce political advertising.  Renounce political posturing.  Renounce as obnoxious bores the players and our buddies, our friends and icons who try to game the game, the arguments, the funnies of our thought.  Make em work for their money…..Right and Santa gives mothers day eggs on Halloween and the fourth of never.

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

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 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.

Dominance Games: The music gets played that finds an audience. Rancid worlds to experience.

Seethe with hate.  Dance with joy.  Bend over with the bends.  It is surely always thus…but thus so much.  Were there ever so damned many loud mouthed hypocritical obnoxious boors of all stripes and injuries polluting the overriding either and making it impossible for a person interested in anything political to not be inundated with stuff he thought thankfully left behind in preadolescence.  Animal house is a standard bearer of dignity when put up against the scenes and voices of politics America….the best the world has to offer.

Were there ever so many self satisfied self indulgent audience flagellating boors bandying about everywhere attacking the senses of anyone with eyes and ears….  Don’t attack bad guys with classical music …make them listen to and watch the politically minded go about their daily shows and spleen wrenching skewing of truth, logic, class, wit, intelligence, honor, decency, fair play, adulthood. Send the children to bed at night without their supper and they will take it as a reward if they can run away and hide.  But we must indulge our hates, our churlishness, our pettiness, our smallness, our lack of character.  So the music gets played that finds an audience.  We get whats smart enough to play us.  We are our own creations and rancid worlds to experience.

Dominance Games: An ode to the unknown communicator

Posted in current events, journalism, literature, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 10, 2011 by B Schiff

The romantic twaddle of burnt rats and the longings and feelers and resources of the dupes of the sweet songs of love thrown to us from the pulpits of the sly.

Listen sweetly to the self loving poems and paeans of breeding, baring, privilege and wonder as he/ she puzzles over reason well for  endearing ends.  Never know things that go bump in the night.  Always fear them.  Never look, always see the little monsters outside of our rancid dreams.

Strife, petition, leering gratification.  Gentrification.  Our putrid little mirrors can reflect too much light, light that burns and singes, burns and singes in the dark corners of the constant night of holy ignorance.  Heady rewards come to those who dance with the nimble and pristine.  The precise.  Lure and aphrodisiac.  Heady rewards come to those who dance with the ones who shimmy well and perform well.

Characters and preeners.  Dancers and singers.  All manner of ribald show and tell come to us as we trundle on our merry little ways.  Dismissive arrogance, weapons of masquerading follies attract us as  cheap perfume.   Cheap perfume attracts those for whom the mawkish and the patty functions best.

Pretty pictures and fancy illusory pieces.  The flaccid aerial circuses we gawk at make us proud.  Over sized performers in the trees waiting to fall off or to be picked by the tree pickers, we feel their pain.  These trees bear strange tasty fruits,  strange tangy nectars, the taste exotic, the after taste lingering majestically.   The sirens sweep softly.

Junk yard cats and howling dogs go bay at the night, the moon.  Fairy tales and sun rays define the joys and pleasures gained and sent by the grand operas of fondled passion and inebriated score.  Contraltos serene always allay fears in holidays of dead beyond the pale of contrition.

We love the ones we love.  lust, hell, dominance and greed are trips to be taken.

Politics / Dominance Games: Revolution….The facts of livable survival. The fools errand of the naive

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 9, 2011 by B Schiff

We can best be protected from extreme evil in the political sphere by spreading around power as much as possible.  The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance.  They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust.  These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts.  Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer.  Implementation is a dream..

Virtues  in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides.  The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm.  The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.

This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes.  Passion has its virtues…and its price.

In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy.  All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved.  All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.

Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous.  Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure.  We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival.  Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.
