When I started this blog almost exactly a year ago, I told myself that since it belonged strictly to me and not to a publisher, I was going to publish any crazy ass thing I wanted, up to and including a poem now and again. I forgot that I haven't written poems since college, and I'm badly out of practice. Well, here goes nothing.
The Brothers Jagoff
For repeatedly portraying my country
As a nation of humorless saints on the one hand
And Rush Limbaugh on the other,
I am beginning to hate
(I realize I'm late)
Keith Olbermann as much
As his brother.

I don’t really understand your poem, since I don’t know Keith Olberman’s bother . . . but I can way with complete certainty that Keith Oberman is a douche bag.
And I say that knowing that I haven’t used the word “douche bag” since high school.
In fact, I don’t even think I used it then.
In fact, I don’t even know what a douche bag is, but I know that Olberman somehow is one.

LIMBAUGH! LIMBAUGH is his brother!
Sweet Christ, Crescenzo, stick to Hemingway. You never were a poetry guy.
Oh for pity’s sake David! Cut the man a break! He obviously posted this while he was drunk – look at that nearly incomprehensible first sentence if you doubt it!!
To wit:
“…Keith Olberman’s bother” and “…but I can way with complete certainty…”
Steve: You should try Cindy’s approach and blame your iPhone! 😉
Steve, you may be “bother” to Keith “Olberman,” but you’re a brother to me.
Rush Limbaugh has a brother?
Who’s on first?
So much for the poetry experiment.
