destroying this country and harming ceos hedge fund managers and investment bankers the very people who create non union jobs in the first place it s just a fact of life that the tax breaks needed for these job creators generate deficits someone has to pay for them it s time to share that burden nobody believes more in free enterprise and competition and of the best man winning than the man who owns the company that can fire you on a whim and have you escorted out by security by 12 00 people need to stop complaining and clinging to worn out concepts like the forty hour work week overtime pay and upward mobility they should feel lucky they even physically exist the union members try to pretend that they are middle class taxpayers their voices cannot drown out the voices of the countless real taxpayers who want to significantly decrease the size of the middle class in general in the us leveling the playing field for everyone left with jobs teachers and nurses see their pensions and benefits the way the mafia views its partnership with a restaurant as described in the movie goodfellas business bad f k you pay me hey guess what i m a grade school teacher and i can burn down your garage for 300 f k you pay me your place got hit by a fragment of spacelab huh f k you pay me look at any history where people fight for rights and you will find that rights aren t things people fight for and win they are privileges controlled by a political class giving or taking them away based on merit it s true that people in the middle east are protesting for rights and the media finds that interesting but in the us sooner or later the media stops finding it interesting meanwhile for many of us there s such a thing as too much democracy for mafioso democrats the purpose of government is to dole out free money but government employees aren t exactly like the mob the mafia guys have a strong work ethic and listen up teachers and nurses if you don t like this deal the national guard might have something so say about it accidents happen public sector workers are living in a bubble but they need to be living in bubble wrap so they need not worry about being damaged when being shipped overseas their corrupt union pays off the political classes to give them benefits that no one in the private sector gets like having enough time to read the international declaration of human rights adopted by the united nations in 1948 article 23 section 4 which says people have the right to form trade unions for the protection of their interests when it was passed eight fiscally responsible nations abstained the soviet bloc south africa and saudi arabia play time is over you don t get to live worry free while the rest of us have to wonder how to pay our mortgage taxes food bill gas bill electric bill and sock away money for our children s education and retirement and funeral all while carrying you on our backs if the middle class makes the shift to working class and working people make the shift to unemployable lumpenproletariat we wouldn t have to worry about this type of thing it s not that we re trying to trick working people it s that we re not going to roll over and sell out the american people like has been done time and time again in washington we are going to become responsible founding father james madison said that the government ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent job creators against the majority by cutting taxes for job creators and paying for it by removing children from medicaid we protect you from having your neighbor be able to afford health care when you can t we re doing the just and right thing for the right reasons and it s all about getting our freedoms back posted by drew at 8 04 pm no comments labels labor day 8 30 2011 posted by drew at 10 56 pm no comments labels michele bachmann 6 08 2011 nada gordon scented rushes roof books 2010 scented rushes is a series of highly artificed poems of seduction and frustration it moves from the excited frustration of approach to the bitter frustration of rejection the book is loosely epistolary addressed to a distant love object one who is truly objectified having little or no presence beyond the engine he creates for the poems he is a governor in the engine of the book the poet s obsession is presented as a given the reader is given no information about what makes this person appealing to the poet in some respects the book fits the troubadour model of seduction poetry though gender inverted this structure and the general aura which feels like cindy sherman crossed with spongebob squarepants creates the feeling of a strangely ambiguous musical theatre project these are love poems but they are not erotic in any direct sense there is very little in the book addressing questions of pleasure or gratification the dirtiest thing that is said is i want to see the front matter these are aggressive romantic provocations launched into deep space their drama comes from the poet wrestling against herself the undercurrent of playfulness and semi epistolary orientation call to mind some obvious parallels bernadette mayer for instance the drama and conviction that fantasies count calls to mind lady gaga and the love of absurdity and considerable energy and liveliness to a perhaps more unlikely parallel benjamin péret the style is violently florid entailing thickets of verbal laciness brought to an aggressive renaissance festival extreme the tone sometimes veers into prime mid 70s british prog rock just where the snail falls from the eye of the sun gordon s extravagantly flowery style and seemingly intentional abuse of adjectives is counterbalanced by an unwavering expert feel for the arrangement of language the combination of forces that come into play as the poems progress from an agitated kind of hope to disappointment and anger produce some startling moments so the rhapsodies now turn inward like condoms on ghosts or this from a poem set on a subway everyone has earbuds and was once a tiny zygote with dark irises alone in a liquid place there are poems that use flarf methods to engage with vocabularies and subject matter that depart considerably from what one might normally expect in dramatic love poetry these are some of the strongest moments in the book where the traditional sealed cosmos of the obsessing poet lover allows for uncanny intersections with the vastness of social quantity posted by drew at 7 17 pm no comments labels flarf nada gordon scented rushes daniel nester
