Stephen LaRoque Hires More Unemployed Workers To Clean Up His Yard

This has always been the overall attitude of the Republican Party: People who fall upon financial hardships are just lazy and greedy, and should be thankful for any menial low-wage jobs they are offered; especially if it is a whopping $.75 above minimum wage! Rich political power brokers chastising struggling families trying to survive during an economic recession for not working at McDonald's­. No wonder we have so many illegal aliens in this country, what with so many snobby Americans unwilling to accept jobs that keep them living below the poverty line.

Errata, by Charles Simic

Where it says snow
read teeth-marks of a virgin 
Where it says knife read 
you passed through my bones 
like a police-whistle 
Where it says table read horse 
Where it says horse read my migrant's bundle 
Apples are to remain apples 
Each time a hat appears 
think of Isaac Newton 
reading the Old Testament 
Remove all periods 
They are scars made by words 
I couldn't bring myself to say  
Put a finger over each sunrise 
it will blind you otherwise 
That damn ant is still stirring 
Will there be time left to list 
all errors to replace 
all hands guns owls plates 
all cigars ponds woods and reach 
that beer-bottle my greatest mistake 
the word I allowed to be written 
when I should have shouted 
her name 


errata - Charles Simic
