Verses of the Six Degrees replayed
Usually I reblog here the posts and articles of others in order to spread them around. Tonight I ‘reblog’ (re-post, actually) one of my own efforts which occurred to me in 2015 via the creative inspiration of Mr. A. Cat…but posted here only for those who don’t mind a little bad poetry:
Mr. A. Cat’s Verses of the Six Degrees
In Kevin Bacon’s Six Degrees
there nestles Tudor’s tale
a royal son exalted high
was then tossed into gaol
A Bard and poet prophet he
renowned both far and near
fate’s new Atlantis his ideal
bequeaths a haunting fear
Such hallowed halls of Science trod
old Francis and his staff
genetics our cruel master now
enjoys his mocking laugh
As followers expand the dream
with solitary eye
in pagan hearts a beast to roar
all decency defy
That hidden plan becomes more clear
as plainly can be seen
from chaos order is employed
by head of state and Queen
In modern times the game descends
to liars crooks and knaves
who conscience-free purport to be
footloose to dance on graves.

A Kitten Named Blago now posted
Just a brief but fuzzy heads-up: a fresh political limerick from Mr.A.Cat has been posted here:

Are Politicians snarly cats?
Well, of course I know that politicians are not in actuality, cats of the feline persuasion.
But don’t you think that when their hackles rise up on the House floor or dramatically in front of cameras and microphones – don’t they kind of remind you of old tomcats hissing and growling at one another trying to defend their territory?
Maybe it’s just me. Or somebody needs a good catnap on his/her office sofa, cellphone OFF.
Anyway, Mr.A. Cat, an agent formerly in service to our nation but now retired to an undisclosed location, has phoned in a new political limerick to his contact, my boss, Lim over at Lim’s Limericks where I do the typing…because cats don’t have hands. Also my spelling is a bit better, but not by much.
Yes, it’s an unpaid position but it’s the least I can do for the mysteriously elusive Mr.A. who put himself at risk so many times on our nation’s behalf while foregoing the soft cushion in the corner by the fireplace as most kittycats would do being the creatures of comfort they are.
How often have I asked this burning question: who knew that cats could be so political? and not yet have I received a satisfactory answer from man or feline on this issue.
So the feed for Lim’s Limericks is now added at the end of the feeds list in my sidebar hereupon if you should wish to check out Mr.A.’s latest limericky growl…seems he’s concerned over our November 4th elections – and who wouldn’t be? Can I get a Meow Meow?
Besides, everyone knows that cats have opinions of their own and obviously hold membership in the Independent Party, yes? There’s an unsubstantiated rumor going round that some political cats may even be affiliated with the Libertarian Party.
So at worst I’m guilty of allowing the political cat limericks of Lim and Mr.A.Cat to help me get through the merde of the Washington litterbox by laughing at these jokers whose mamas must’ve taught them better than they’re doing against us. Rrraorrrww-w-w!

There’s a difference between Palin and Dan Quayle
Well, it’s been hours now, and McCain’s pick of Alaska Governor Sara Palin on Friday is apparently no joke after all.
Robert J. Elisberg has written an insightful article on Sara Palin’s qualifications for national office and on John McCain’s choice of ‘The Worst Vice-Presidential Nominee in U.S. History’:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-j-elisberg/the-worst-vice-presidenti_b_122491.html
As Elisberg notes, Dan Quayle was a sitting senator when tapped. And Gov. Palin voted against polar bears and supports oil drilling in ANWR.
But fascinating as Sara Palin as VP may seem, there’s one thing I’ve always noted to myself (since nothing in politics happens by accident):
when they divert all eyes toward one direction, we should pay more attention to where they’re NOT pointing. For that may just be where the real shell game is being played.

Here’s a limerick scratched in the litter box of Mr.A.Cat from July 2006, ‘Alaska’:

Mr.A. doesn’t think well of corrupt political thespians so it’s a wonder he follows Politics at all!
Cat from Iran: a limerick
There once was a cat from Iran
who got hot and turned on a fan
it wasn’t enough
to cool off his fluff
so atoms were split in Tehran.
He worked long and hard on the splits
while George threw incompetent fits
by acting so proud
no weapons allowed
or sanctions will come in a blitz.
So who gave the arms race it’s start?
who played the gargantuan part?
America’s clout
could take the world out
but that wouldn’t be very smart.
