...is an old tradition to those comfortable with
their place in life:

Democracy is buying a big house you can't afford
with money you don't have
to impress people you wish were dead.

And, unlike communism, democracy does not
mean having just one ineffective political party;
it means having two ineffective political parties.
...
Democracy is welcoming people from other lands,
and giving them something to hold onto
-- usually a mop or a leaf blower.

ASSY-METRY
There's nothing that goads
Like no-passing roads
With a slowpoke in front
And a hot rod in back -
'Cause you'd never speed
It's just that you need
To get past that grunt
And away from that devil on crack.

DRIVE ON
Schadenfreude Grook
"Flare spoor, white powdery burns:
Like funerals without the urns.
Mark the passages of lives before eyes
And the uttering of inhuman cries.
Still we're always glad to see'um,
Cause it means we didn't be'em.

Love them meeses to pieces (so does their mom, these
