Bio
The Paxton Pundit began posting in 1998 on an ISP provided web page. Moved to OpenSalon when the ISP turned everyone over to GoogleSites. Yuk. Semi-retirement is how Tal Farlow described being a musician. I was here when the Beta went Meta. These pages reflect a mix of interests. Unpublished elsewhere since June 1, 2008. Apprehension is a constant. Comprehension is a work in progress.

Eye St. Villain - (Ode to Chris Dodd)

Rate: 4 Flag

  odo_chris_dodd

Revolving door, mobius rotating:
Which is the more apropos?
When dropping out running for president,
Two more years of laying low:

You never would work as a lobbyist;
Pointless so don't even try.
The moguls called; paying how much you say?
Constitution, say goodbye.

Due process, hell, let 'em eat fear they say;
Global justice mustn't work.
They'll have to scour every last packet sent:
Proof that Chris Dodd is a jerk.

A jerk with clout, why isn't really clear,
Working from his "I" street digs:
It almost worked (knock on some heavy wood);
Vigilance has stalled the pigs.

But they'll be back: copyright literalists.
Seeking funds they just won't get
Through treaty, investing in commonweal.
Occupy the Internet!

l'Heure Bleue - I don't know how you get to Dodd's place in the scheme of things without reducing your principles to a convenience.

Ben - I was going for the aura of the SOPA fight. If they put a muskrat on the currency, I suspect the answer would be yes.

John - I read about it on Greenwald's blog yesterday. I was one of those who confused his palling around with Ted Kennedy with liberal principles.

Algis - sweet comment.
