[Newspoetry] nice things

[blue2 at net66.com]

The nice thing about family values is it makes us feel good when we go 
off and have babies so politicians can send them to war to protect family 
values.  Checks and balances.

The nice thing about compassionate conservatives is that they can 
promote the sanctity of embryos over the need for stem cell research in 
the same breath that they send billion dollar bombs onto fully realized 
embryos elsewhere.  Justice for all.

The nice thing about fiscal conservatism is that it sounds like something 
it isn’t – which is paying for all of the above instead of keeping schools 
in Buffalo open.  Pursuing happiness.

Welcome to the new world order.  New is relative, of course.  We’ve 
mostly shuffled the deck of the old one.
