The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Shots are fired, Blurred with the drums and bass, Until 909 are injured or killed, Let's have a moment of silence, Lying to the American public, As we send our children off to war, Whenever one of our soldiers has fallen, "Let's have a moment of silence," Twenty kids shot and killed, Six adults as well, As sadness and fear run rampant, Let's have a moment of silence, An accidental overdose, Friendly-fire, A mass shooting, A moment of silence, Forty-nine killed at a night club, A storm devastates the coast, Our neighbors to the south without power, A moment of silence, Your thoughts are insufficient, Your prayers have failed time and again, Silence without action speaks volumes, Your moments of silence are deafening.

Congratulations - we now know that people with brown eyes are more trusted (for whatever reason) than those with blue eyes. We still don't know how they...

All right - there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."
