I’ve given up after yesterday. I am, as the saying goes, “Letting Go and Letting God.”

I only pray my demise is swift. Obama is going to destroy this nation. He still has 3 years to do immeasurable damage.

Season title for the last season of Breaking Bad.

Quite appropriate really.

Good morning, Jim.

May I suggest that we have a new forum created specifically geared for the gloom and doomers?

Maybe call it “The Summer Soldier” or “The Sunshine Patriot”?

Well done! I will never be able to hear the original without immediately remembering the words to your edition.

EXCELLENT! Very well done. Shelley would applaud the parody.

Thanks for that. While I never read much poetry, “Ozymandias” was my favorite growing up.

Now we need a talented artist to draw that shattered visage of FUBO lying upon the barren ground.

I'm going to make a couple of (very) minor suggestions, since I'm in the writing business, and this is worth bringing to absolute perfection:

Line 5: strike the initial "And", to bring the scansion into line (since "fly-ridden" has one more beat than "wrinkled").

Line 9: substitute "teleprompt" for "teleprompter", again for scansion's sake. Alternatively, "And on the teleprompter now these words appear:" which shifts the beat to the correct foot.

Line 13: substitute "Of vanished hope and change" (or "shattered", or some other two-syllable word with the accent on 1st syllable), again to shift the beat.

- I still give it an "A+" and recommendation for honors. :-D

Lovely prose, Claud.

It describes the Kenyan Pantload/Halfrican Queen to a T.
