It’s Friday, Jeff.  And that, my friend, means—(UPDATED)

—yeah, yeah, I know it.  And the truth is, the little bastard danced up a storm all afternoon.  In fact, he was like a young Deney Terrio, to hear him talk about it.  Or at least, a middle-aged Adrian Zmed.

But …

If instead of a famous Romantic poet, Samuel Taylor C*leridge were foul-mouthed hard-left “feminist” Amanda Marc*tte (UPDATED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY FAILINGS AS A “A CLUMSY, CHATTERING HACK WHO STRINGS WORDS TOGETHER IN LUMPY, CLATTERING, ARRHYTHMIA”)

“This Laun-dry Basket my Prison”

Well, they are gone, and here must I remain,

This laun-dry basket my prison! I have lost

Countless men (and all respectability) such as would have been

Most sweet to my remembrance when age had

Dimm’d mine eyes to heteronormative gambits most venal! They,

Meanwhile, Penises whom I never more shall meet again,

(To their utter delight, and in answer to their prayers, I dare say),

Wander in gladness, and wind down, perchance,

To that roaring dell, a fresh vaginal space!

Another’s womanhood (skanks!), o’erwooded, narrow, deep,

And only freckled by the mid-day sun;

They, with their slim and hateful wood, poking like

Purple-headed dragon necks from between ashen rocks—wingless

Things, unsunn’d and damp, whose few poor willowy spines

Ne’er tremble in the gale, yet tremble still,

Fann’d by the feral smell of NOT ME! and there my friends

Behold the dark green file of long lank weeds,

That all at once (a most fantastic sight !)

Still nod and drip beneath the happy coupled edges

Of anyone—and I do mean anyone —other than I.

Here you go.

Relying on Congressional sources, USA Today further exposes details about the NSA “domestic surveillance” initiative, another boot to the skull of the already moribund program.  But don’t complain:  the death of this empirically vile assault …

I was hoping for maybe Cat Stevens

Please, Che it isn’t so!

I have a feeling the fix was in.  Had to be.  Though to be honest, my curiosity is so piqued that I’m going to run out later and buy a beret and a …
