“WHO?
Anna May Be Wong.”

Might as well make it Annabel Chong

[dfwgator]

What about Ana Ng?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Or “poets”

Whatta joke that is

[DoughtyOne]

I D I O T I C

We can’t point out how idiotic it is, because ‘racism’.

Spare me...

[Jamestown1630]

Well, I could see Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, and Oliver Wendell Holmes getting stamps, at least...but maybe they’ve already done that.

(Every time I thought of a great American poet, I had to add another one. We’ve had a lot of greats.)

A commemorative silver dollar.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yeah but the affirmative action’d one isn’t a worthy “poet”

That’s why I put it in quotes

[csvset]

♫ You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognise, some that you’ve hardly even heard of
People who worked, and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain (yeah) ♪

[kosciusko51]

They Might Be Giants, right?

[dfwgator]

Right.

[Jamestown1630]

Well, I guess appreciation for poetry is very subjective, like all of the arts are...

[NicoDon]

Can you really classify the soulless as alive?

[kosciusko51]

For these purposes, yeah. Anything else on a case-by-case basis.

Anna Mae Wong is being exploited by the Democrats.

In her day, Wong’s acting ability seemed to be limited to presenting Asian females as erotic fetish objects.

Allegedly, Wong conducted a lengthy affair with General Douglas MacArthur.
