Poem: The White Pony




The white pony
Gallops over the hill
As if she has wings,

Like Shadowfax or Pegasus
Racing toward the fire
On the mountain.

Pardon Me, Mister President? No pardons?

By Pablo Fanque

President George W. Bush has now taken his "victory lap." made the rounds to speak to various governmental agencies, and given a televised farewell. Just about all that's left for POTUS to do is issue his pardon and immunity list. I just heard that he will hand out virtually no pardons or immunity blankets? Is that even possible? He never has been big on pardons, unlike his Dad (who had a couple of humdingers). He might even have a record for fewest pardons.

Finally, yesterday, he did grant early prison releases to two ex-U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer ignited a gnarly national debate over illegal immigration.

Bush, caved in to pressure from both sides of the aisle, and commuted the prison sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. The two guards from El Paso, Texas, were each sentenced to more than 10 years for the shooting.

George Bush has given far fewer pardons than most of his predecessors. And yet, many of his former minions, aides, and associates could possibly be prosecuted for their actions. Will the President issue a broad blanket pardon, or cloak of immunity, to many people, or just select a small subset of his loyal henchmen and donors? It looks like neither. Just a couple of border guards. It only took eight years for The ex-President to execute a real class move.

Female talk show hosts talk about breasts! Tyra Banks and Oprah weigh in on store-bought vs. The Real Deal


click to enlarge

I have to ask (why? I know the answer) what would happen if David Letterman, Jay Leno, or Stephen Colbert were in Oprah or Tyra's boots?

"I love that you have real breasts, because in all the breast scenes, your breasts do what real breasts do," Oprah said to Kate Winslett last week. And Kate played along, fondling her chest and making a joke or two about her award-winning girls.

"Thank you so much. You mean that kind of thing? asked Kate, "And this kind of thing? And the moment when they race for sanctuary under your armpits when you lie on your back?"

Months ago, Tyra Banks said much the same thing, although she actually lunged in for a closer personal inspection when she discussed Katherine McPhee's breasts.

Poem: The Velvet Glove

1.
With every hesitation,
Trouble widens.
The dragon is unleashed.

You won’t begin what needs to begin
Because you’re searching
For a sign.

2.
You move in the troops
And impose order
With a velvet glove.

3.
When the horse
And the wagon part,
Bloody tears will flow.
