Remembering Dick Tuck on the Democratic loss of control of Congress
One of my heroes, the famous Democratic prankster/master of dirty tricks, Dick Tuck, ran for office in 1966 and got whupped. His concession speech was short but sweet.
"The people have spoken. . .the bastards."

Poem: [Let the blue turtle go]
By Jack Brummet
Let the blue turtle go
Train your eyes
Like a bobcat
2
Leave the knife beneath your cloak
Let things pass
Train your eyes
Like a bobcat
2
Leave the knife beneath your cloak
Let things pass
Because all things must pass
3
Awareness of danger
Brings fortune as you cross
The cold cold sea.

Poem: Fall
By Jack Brummet
The problems arise when falling

The problems arise when falling
Becomes not falling,
Or,
the uncontrolled landing problem.---o0o---
Poem: Mission Statement
By Jack Brummet
You don't need to see
A discounted cash flow analysis.
You only need to know
If the right people are in your pocket,
And, if not, whom should be bought off,
Scared off, or bumped off?

Poem: Tendrils
When a tree is chopped down
Volunteer shoots sprout
From the roots,
Sending out tendrils of life
In an urgent last gasp
— A genetic S.O.S.—
Like what they say
Happens
When you hang a man.
