Just Another Day


Greetings Hairballers,

Do I hear the clatter of wire coat hangers and the rattle of Billy clubs coming from North Carolina?  I keep expecting their citizens to rise up with pitch forks but then, they voted in these suppressionists.  Is there anyway we can cut out Asheville and move it to Maryland?

Just another day
in the 14th Century
there in North Carolina

good ole boys
carrin’ one on the hip,*
to make ‘em feel big

struttin’ tall
at the Moose Lodge
as they sidle up to the bar

voter suppression’s
gotta hold
like a coyote on a rabbit

No I.D.?
well ain’t that
too bad

just get along then
we don’t hold with
disturbin’ the peace

the women left at home
to cook and watch the kids,
or have their hair lacquered at the spa

the abomination
of abortion,
a thing of the past

try abstinence
ladies and
he’ll seek elsewhere

if your man won’t
stand up for you,
why should you lie down for him!

*This from Wikipedia:  The revolver was invented in 1836 by Colt Paterson.  The Chinese invented firearms in the 14th Century, five centuries after they invented gunpowder in the 9th.

This is beginning to sound like a baseball game.  I have no idea what the Chinese did with the gunpowder between the 9th and 14th, maybe firecrackers because they invented those too.

Come back next Sunday for the August Dumb Bastard Award.

‘til then, happy hairballs
