Candied Politics
Pralines
Nuggets
White chocolate
Dark chocolate
Nuts and fruits
Covered with seduction
Laced with time-release drugs
Guised as
Jobs
Loans
Reform
Obligatory changing of mind
Judged at room temperature
Where gavel-sounds rule
Ayes taste pleasure
Nays chew compromise
Masticated promises
Served incessantly
Crowned by colorful sprinkles
For dazzle to frazzle
And all this paid for
By the sweet tooth of ignorance
Love ya!

Just today I see that Congress is proceeding ahead with a bill to stop measles in its tracks. Must be orchestrated by the righteous right. Or at least those people who believe that God protects them from childhood diseases and they don't need to have nasty inoculations of dead diseases. And then, like much of politics, their intentions backfire. Why don't they just get smart, understand the science behind immunization, and take their shots like good little sheeple they really are.
Better yet, give them a lollipop along with the shot so that it won't hurt so much.
