Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 26, 2022

I didn’t realize this site started using a nanny-filter. What a surprise to find that a certain poet’s last name is banned.

Ya lost me…..???

Well, politics has been and will always be wrestling pigs in the mud. JFK & FDR may have been eloquent & charismatic, but they knew how to play hardball.

I’m kinda diggin this whole “Dark Brandon” thing… Paul Krugman @paulkrugman Dark Brandon has street-fighter instincts. Who knew?

A limerick packs laughs anatomical

Into a space quite economical.

But the best ones we’ve seen

Are often obscene,

And the clean ones seldom are comical.

Look what I found. It’s called “Libertarians vs. Anarchist,” otherwise known as "What Is Left of the GQP: Libertarians vs. AnarchistsWhat’s the difference between Anarchists and Libertarians?

Libertarians are anarchists with money. Anarchists believe property is theft. Libertarians believe everything is property. Libertarians are bosses; anarchists work for them when they run out of other options.Libertarians buy more guns, but anarchists use more ammo.Libertarians ride in stretch limos; anarchists throw bricks through their windshields.Libertarians go shopping; anarchists go shoplifting.Libertarians go to the police after they’ve been mugged; anarchists get mugged by the police.A libertarian wants to marry another libertarian, but only after sleeping with enough anarchists.Anarchists ignore the IRS; Libertarians hire accountants and attorneys to fight them.Libertarians think the government is trying steal the property they rightfully own; anarchists think the government is trying to defend property that nobody rightfully owns.Libertarians are organized in a political party; anarchists aren’t organized in anything.Anarchists ignore elections; Libertarians run for office, vote and lose.Libertarians think anarchists are naive and unrealistic; anarchists don’t care what libertarians think.

Winslow got that one straight on.
