Colin and the Swish are in bed together

To stand up for something, or whatever.

Sure, he took chances to air his belief

And he paid a big price with no sign of relief.

But free speech is expensive, some pay with their life.

All that Nike cash? It just doesn’t seem right.

Bad calls in sports happen ALL THE TIME.

Just ask Galarraga, who didn’t whine

After his 26 out perfect game crime.

On the courts a young hopeful is on the climb

Against a childhood idol, still in her prime.

Serena you’re awesome, but c’mon, that was slime.

There are some who believe it wasn’t becoming

For 44 to have brokered in petty name calling.

But fight fire with fire they always say

And many souls have been waiting for this day.

When a leader with class gets back in the fray

Using hope, not fear, to get his way.

Always a show, Supreme Court hearings,

With everyone trying to make everyone fear things.

He didn’t say much in the proceeding

And what Dems said of him is not worth repeating.

Given the numbers, Brett’s appointment is certain.

Grandstanding Dems should be given the curtain.

DC and pundits and the public too

Are atwitter with wonder about you-know-who.

The Deep Throat of our time, saving the nation?

Or a treasonous coward, let’s castrate him!

Unless of course he’s a she, and then you can grab…

Nothing new here, they all need rehab.

I’m a huge fan of The New Yorker canon

And hold nothing but contempt for Steve Bannon.

But how in the world could this publication

Forsake its integrity and pledge to the nation

Canceling an interview with this schmuck

Because some lefties complained? I mean WTF?

As if this day isn’t depressing enough,

Though not official, the end of summer is tough,

But add on to that the latest barrage

From Donnie in DC, trying to massage

More favor with his base, on the DoJ he excreted

For failing to protect GOP pols who cheated.

I think of productivity as a coin

Two sides of equal importance join.

On one you have work, which gets you stressed.

So on the other it’s important that you have rest.

Both sides are as vital as each other,

But today is for play if I have my druthers.

Dems are crowing that finally there are more

People who like Mueller than Donnie Galore.

But what will they do if they win in November?

Return Nancy Pelosi as the top member!

No wonder the red states are totally frustrated.

When the blind and tone deaf get reinstated.

It seems a little creepy to call your wife Mother.

But do what you want if you don’t hurt another.

On that basis, Mr. Mom, there’s another tale.

When it comes to health care, you utterly fail.

If midterm elections go your way,

You’ve committed to kill the ACA.
