Editor’s Note: We just wrapped up the ‘Red Death’ saga on Friday. To avoid confusion on the part of our alert readership, we deferred this one from The Coastal Empire until today. I am posting late, due to an unexpected chance to have bunch with a retired 92-year-old Lieutenant General at the fabulous Mylos Grill in McClean. More about that anon.

Authors’ note: Doctor Seuss paid me a visit last night. This is what he had to say:
Democrats do not like national conversation
ruled by corporate dispensation
They do not like the wealthy’s sass
that sticks it to the middle class
Republicans do not like unfair taxes
that break poor old middle class backs
They do not like thievin’ crooks
who pay for stuff from the “rich” man’s books
We voters don’t like their decades worth of crap
laying off blame on the other guy’s lap
We do not like their wingnut rants
that only say “No, We Can’t!”
We don’t like their partisan disjunction
DC beltway’s severe dysfunction
We’d love some true cooperation
for only that might save the nation
We do not like these competing Uncle Sam-I-Ams
We do not like their contrary health care scams
We do not like these dirty crooks
or how they lie and cook the books
Does anyone like how DC steals
us blind with secret deals?
We can’t stand it when they speak
talking about their position’s winning streak
Speakers Pelosi and Ryan, good God, man
Never saying “Why, yes, we can!!”
Oh look, they’re promising us another big debt spending spree
Why is it only us who know that nothing in life comes free?
They assume we accept as truth their smug replies
We oughta shout in response Lies! Lies! Lies!
Does anyone else like this falsely promised hope?
Let us respond Nope! Nope! Nope!
We do not like their BS in any style
It’s the same from both sides of the aisle
We’ll not take it fried or boiled
We’ll not take it poached or broiled
We’ll not take it soft or scrambled
Their BS arguments have always rambled
Destroy their BS! Today! Today!
Today we say! Without delay!”
