Question and Answer

INTERVIEWER: Why do you write this blog?

FIORELLA: It's my outlet. It lets me drain/ The swamp of my brain.

INTERVIEWER: You answered me in a rhymed dimeter couplet. Why?

FIORELLA: It's a game I play with myself. Blending the message, the beat, and the rhyme is a challenge.

INTERVIEWER: Lately you've used your poetic  skills to challenge Donald Trump. Why not prose?

FIORELLA: People are more likely to remember a short, smartly-turned rhymed verse than a long, thoughtful essay.

INTERVIEWER: You want your poetry to be remembered?

FIORELLA: I want my message to be remembered. We all have our roles in the resisitance movement, and mine is to fuel the fire.\

Revelation

I thought that I would never stop crying
That I would never heal
But fire has burned away the dross
And now, I am steel

Cruz--1, Trump--0

Dear Senator Cruz:

I disagree with most of your policies, but I laud your non-endorsement of Donald Trump because of his comments about your wife and his libel of your father.  You are right--family comes first.

Yours,
Fiorella Plum

Totally Offensive

Donald Trump has an interesting life strategy--all offense, no defense.  That means he isn't reminding his fans of his sins by repeating his foes' accusations, and that he doesn't have to bother with explaining anything.  He does not defend.  He attacks.  Trump is a destroyer, not a builder. Look what he's done to the Republican party

Political Poetry

Donald Trump
Is a horse's rump

Errands, Donald Trump, and WHEN THE HEART SPEAKS

The third time was the charm.  On her first try, Fio discovered she had left her credit card at home.  On the second try, she discovered she'd left her bank deposit at home.  On her third try, she bought two shirts at Dress Barn, deposited the insurance check, and drove down to HEB to pick up some groceries. Missions accomplished.  Yeah, Fiorella stays the course.

Donald Trump is vulgar, but apparently that's what his fans like about him.

Fiorella is still sailing along on the book--about ten pages a day of deep revisions. Bodes well for being finished by the end of the month--maybe.

Political Advice

Dear Republican Hopefuls:

A word of advice.  Do not take on Donald Trump. He will pull you down to his own level, drowning you in a swamp of egotistical bombast and unfounded assertions.  Your best bet is to ignore him.  His idiocy will run his course.

Sincerely yours,

A Democrat who believes in a strong two-party system

Shallow Mind

Fiorella doesn't care if Bruce Jenner gets himself emasculated.  She doesn't care if Rachel Dolezal has been passing for black.  She doesn't care if The Donald announces runs for president--although she does find that one hilarious.

What she's following are the spectacles: Mama BooBoo making an ass out of herself, and Michele and Jim Bob trying to crawl out of the giant hole they dug themselves into.

Oh, she also follows science news--if it's brief.

News Clips

After The Donald's performance at the White House correspondents' annual dinner, word is that Sesame Street is negotiating to replace Oscar the Grouch with Trump the Grump.

Interesting that certain Islamic clerics are objecting to bin Laden's burial at sea as being contrary to Islamic tradition, but didn't have an ounce of objection when he was alive and killing innocent people by the barrelful.

Love the coverage of Kate Middleton as being "raised from the gutter" by William. Some gutter--her parents are millionaires.

The Chump Twins

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee--
I think that I have never seen
A funnier combo on TV
Than Donald Trump and Charlie Sheen

One has hair and one has flair
And each one is a millionaire--
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum,
The reigning kings of tedium,
With vacuum in the cranium.

Campaign Craziness

Guess the hair dye finally permeated his cerebral cortex. Donald Trump is running for President.

Just in time. The world news is bleak, Charlie Sheen's antics are getting old, and Lindsay Lohan hasn't been in the headlines for at least a week. We all need a fresh comic diversion.

So,thanks, Donald. And how about Tiger Woods for VP? He's on his way up again.

By the way, we expect full disclosure from presidential candidates. Who cares about a birth certificate. SHOW US YOUR HAIRLINE!
