Oh God. Help us.

Figures a America-hating commie like Maya Angelou.

What sense does it make for gov to honor people who hate the thing they govern?

Let’s pick more women they’ll honor, and those they won’t.

Oh you know ugly Eleanor will be there.

Shame on you! Hack writers of insipid poetry should be recognized as much as people who do something useful.

[Verginius Rufus]

Instead of Maya Angelou, why not someone who actually wrote poetry, like Emily Dickinson? Or Phillis Wheatley.
