About the only turd that can be polished that I know of, is a moose turd (think bunny pellets on a grander scale). Actually they were varnished, but when I worked in Alaska many years ago, a cottage industry existed that marketed �Moose Jewelry� to tourists. It is with utter disdain that I watched our congress this past week reconstitute this once proud craft into something sinister Image:H5inc.wordpress.com

Donkeys and elephants Each share one thing A perfectly functional Large bore O-Ring With deftness and skill They expel written words Then try to disguise them Like polishing turds Let’s tax the rich! No, let’s screw the poor Making deals with the devil That would shame a cheap whore Though a bad bill is worse Than no bill seems absurd Keep your eyes on their offspring As they polish their turd Kicking cans down the road Not performing their function Elections are coming soon To this two seater junction The final flush is upon them Next November I’ve heard There’s no voter market For a giant polished turd Copyright 2011 Patrick Granfors

Perhaps we are all turd world citizens, after all.

Then again some of our best thinking is done on the porcelain think tank.

A wry wit, indeed, Patrick.

Great! No matter how much polishing it still remains a turd.

They should be very afraid next election. We need none of the above as a choice on the ballot.

It's becoming more and more obvious that today's elitist millionaire politicians are totally clueless, and can no longer even relate to the needs and wants of the common citizen. And when we replace them, we just get more of the same.

As for that Moose Jewelry, I've bought my spouse some, but I never told her what it was made from. And right now, I'm working on Bronzed Puppy Poop Jewelry. What a wonderful Christmas gift this is gonna make!!

What are you really trying to say here, Patrick, ol' friend? That no matter how polished, there's nothing but shit down Washington way?

I've heard that the turd precedes hot gasses :)
of which
there is an abundance.
So witty and yet so true.
