"

when

she

stares

at

you,

a deep void can be found

with just a bit of focus on your part---

you can see directly inside her eyes and back

further,

there are shiny steel drums

facing each other

with nothing but complete emptiness in between,

or perhaps

a couple of big neon lights billowing brightly,

as if your head was tipped back

in a dentist’s chair,

strapped in & terrified

like alex in A Clockwork Orange.

 

rather than winking, like

ms. palin, aka “genius”

(handing you the card like wile e. coyote does bugs

bunny),

ms. bachmann seems as if she is trying to

imitate linda blair’s character of regan in

The Exorcist,

with that large smile akin to something of a demented

circus clown mixed with the glowing eyes of one

possessed &

when she begins to talk,

one wants to get a small garbage can quick,

in case she starts projectile-vomiting all over us during

her speeches

(actual physical vomit, as opposed to the metaphorical

vomit that COMPRISES her speeches).

 

if you don’t think she looks as if she shouldn’t be let out of

her house,

much less, let into the white house,

please consider that amongst the puke that has been spewed from her mouth,

in between sips from her tea party teacup,

she has told the american people that the film, The Lion King, was

gay propaganda,

she feels that all scientists support the concept of

“intelligent design,”

she feels melissa etheridge’s breast cancer will

wake her up to her wrongdoings as a lesbian & help her to see the

light & repent,

she thinks that getting rid of the minimum wage in the US will

completely solve the unemployment issue,

she thinks that the issue of same-sex marriage is the most important one

in the last 30 years in the US & of course,

she thinks that

“all cultures aren’t equal”---

one can go on & on...

 

some subjects for jokes & satire are

funnier than any words that could be said about them---

what the problem is in bachmann’s case is that she is

scary.

 

one of her great concerns is that

“we’re running out of rich people in this country” &

if she gets elected anything anywhere that might be near

THE

BUTTON,

know that no matter how rich you are,

ALL OF YOU

will not be able to afford a spaceship fast enough to get away from the

fallout.
