Haven’t seen the link.

Your comment made me think: will Orly go for an inter-planetary appeal should the temporal fail to prevail? You’ll need to write a new song, perhaps to Bowie’s ‘Major Tom’?

sharon, who gets confused about the space/time continuum.

I think it was tired_old_conservative who opined that her next appeal would be to the Federation of Planets, from Star Trek.

Sometimes stuff is just so bad that its hilarious. Like an Ed Wood movie. The poor guy died just before he became famous for his bad movies. He would have made millions.

I did a post once or twice on Julia Moore, the Sweet Singer of Michigan. Her poetry was so bad that it was a source of great amusement to Mark Twain and others. They got years of entertainment out of Julia, who I guess never caught on to them. To me Orly is like Ed Wood or Julia. I want to savor her time in the spotlight because it just doesn’t get this good very often.

Here’s what I posted earlier today on Julia. I’ll probably start ROTF again in a few minutes:

http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/txt/Moore/index.html

From the Stuffed Owl:

Her first volume, The Sweet Singer of Michigan Salutes the Public, afterwards known as The Sentimental Song Book, was rapturously received, especially by Bill Nye and by Mark Twain, who admitted much later that it had given him joy for twenty years; and the appreciations of these and fifty other critics, which the poet accepted as genuine, did much to make her book a best-seller and send it into three editions. By 1878, when A Few Choice Words to the Public, with New and Original Poems, by Julia A. Moore appeared, her vogue had waned, and she published no more verse. In her preface to this volume she says of its predecessor: “Although some of the newspapers speak against it, its sale has steadily progressed. Thanks to the Editors that has spoken in favor of my writings; may they ever be successful. The Editors that has spoken in a scandalous manner, have went beyond reason. . . .” And she adds, defending herself against these evil men, that “Literary is a work very difficult to do,” and that poetry from the heart has more power than poetry from the head. “ If all books could be read as I am sure you love to read this one,” she says elsewhere, “there might be less ignorance and crime in the world, and I would be well paid for the valuable time I have spent in doing good to mankind.” A recent editor, Mr. Walter Blair of the University of Chicago, justly observes that it is high time for Posterity to pay its debt to Julia Moore.

The Sweet Singer’s verse is concerned to a large extent with total abstinence and violent death — the great Chicago fire, the railway disaster of Ashtabula, the Civil War, the yellow fever epidemic in the South. She sings death by drowning, by smallpox, by fits, accidents by lightning-stroke and sleigh. “Julia is worse than a Gatling gun,” wrote Bill Nye; “I have counted twenty-one killed and nine wounded, in the small volume she has given to the public.”

Two excerpts:

We have lost our little Hanner in a very painful manner,
And we often asked, How can her harsh sufferings be borne?
When her death was first reported, her aunt got up and snorted
With the grief that she supported, for it made her forlorn.
She was such a little seraph that her father, who is sheriff,
Really doesn’t seem to care if he ne’er smiles in life again.
She has gone, we hope, to heaven, at the early age of seven
(Funeral starts off at eleven), where she’ll nevermore have pain.

The following lament on the death of Willie won national approval, and is still remembered by those who cherish good song:

Willie had a purple monkey climbing on a yellow stick,
And when he sucked the paint all off it made him deathly sick;
And in his latest hours he clasped that monkey in his hand,
And bade good bye to earth and went into a better land.

Oh! no more he’ll shoot his sister with his little wooden gun;
And no more he’ll twist the pussy’s tail and make her yowl, for fun.
The pussy’s tail now stands out straight; the gun is laid aside;
The monkey doesn’t jump around since little Willie died.

parsy, who is tuning up....

And here’s a link to that amazing thread, with tons of info and some transparent and feeble trolldom.

Why are you attacking her?

She should be supported ... because she is correct.

Hardcore Evidence of Coverup (to get Obamacare to Somoa for Pelosi)

Proof of DNC Corruption ignored by DOJ and SCOTUS
=========================================

Altered voting certificates by Pelosi for election fraud for the DNC

Exhibit 1: (the original, but discarded) states:
”THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the
United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the
following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice
President of the United States respectively and that the following candidates for President
and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions
of the United States Constitution:”



Exhibit 2: specifically leaves out the qualifying requirement:
”THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the
United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the
following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice
President of the United States respectively:”


Exhibit 3: More altered documents where the natural born requirement
Check off box … was removed.


“D.C. Tech Official Is Accused of Bribery(Birth Certificate Forgery)
A D.C. government official and a business executive were arrested yesterday on bribery
charges involving city technology contracts that included "ghost" workers and
kickbacks, federal authorities said. Until recently, the technology office was headed
by Vivek Kundra, who has taken a job as President Obama's chief information officer.
A White House official confirmed last night that Kundra has taken a leave of absence.
“Yusuf Acar, 40, who has worked in the technology office since 2004, was charged with
bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and conflict of interest.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Hibarger told a federal judge that Acar is a flight risk because agents
seized $70,000 in cash in his house and because in recorded conversations, he boasted that he could easily flee to his native Turkey.
Acar also told the informant that he could use
computers to create fake D.C. birth certificates, Hibarger said. “

Well, you can support her. Perhaps a donation to UNICEF? (LOL!) The problem is the same as it was a year ago. To wit:

There is more evidence for an alien abduction case, then there is that Obama isn’t eligible.

parsy, who notes the abductee at least has his/her own testimony. Birthers have nothing except SUSPICIONS, which they expect everyone else to DISPROVE.

parsy, who loved it

You weren't alone in that.

And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

...And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

(Orly wouldn't understand it though -- it's a cultural thing. She'd probably figure that a government conspiracy pushed Billy Joe.)

LOL! She have a name for it-—The Third of June Group. And she’d be getting affidavits from the saw mill guys. And BTW, where did that frog come from??? Was it a poison frog, from the Amazon?

He’s on the verge of getting his poor plaintiffs killed in that case.

Literally.

True. Perhaps being more pragmatic, the Koumintang will simply dispatch a Kung Fu hit team to “dispatch” the attorney. Who will be found, naked, hanging in a closet, with assorted toys, oils, and pornography.

I always suspected the deadly Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique was given to Mr. Carradine in confidence. Which he broke.

I always have a Wu-Tang Clan CD nearby just in case I am attacked by a team of Ninjas. I want an appropriate soundtrack for our battle.

Just remember your Lip Fu needs to be delayed a few nanoseconds from the CD.

Parsy, who BTW wonders if you ever saw House of Flying Daggers. It was to die for!
