WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Award-winning author, renowned poet and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou has died. She was 86.

Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines confirmed Angelou was found by her caretaker on Wednesday morning.

I’d rather listen to Vogon Poetry.

Looks like Google Doodle material to me. Nothing like an obscure “poet” to brighten our Google day come April 4th.

I would insist in the Pres. recite the poetry instead of reading the stuff. No teleprompters too. I want a pure unrehearsed and heartfelt presentation that equals the amount of needless media coverage of the death of this chick in light of obscuring substantial news that effects the present and future.

Barry had to storm out of one room recently at a Science Fair....when asked to comment.....minus the aid of his sacred teleprompter.

Or if you can’t swim naked with him, nobody can.

“...One more woman ambushed and raped. ...”

Gee.... that sorta STILL happens.... but they’re white girls, so I guess it didn’t matter to her.

One wonders if she write a poem about what “her people” call “wilding”... or “White Girl Bleed A Lot”... and there’s “The Knockout Game”, of course.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

Lots of nasty comments. Surprising because many folks were pissed when he liberals did it to Thatcher. Both sides are so rotten during times like this. Prayers to her and her family. God help us when it is Rush’s time. We really won’t have a leg to stand on.

a more insular moron would be hard to imagine

these people “live” inside superstitious folklore fantasies that rival those of african witch doctors

I think the comments are more directed at liberals who fawned over her.

PBS will do even more specials about her. Oprah will do a mini series on the life and times....

[Mears]

I never understood what the hell she was trying to say in her poetry.

PBS will do even more specials about her.

I see a Ken Burns series in their future.

Mr. Accuser, paste those suckers so we can discuss the context and validity. Most of the Thatcher's stuff involved the words c*nt, B!*ch, mass murderer etc. that delved into childish name calling.

I had no problems with the Thatcher (Expected) stuff or when Limbaugh departs since I don't revere mankind. The Angelou stuff has been tame compared to your examples. Most of the FR response is to the coming orgasm (Sensationalism, exploitation, would-be-ratings grabber, give cover to ongoing scandals) by the media over her death, over-promoted poetry heralded by the overrated themselves, and her collectivist bent.

Drudge must have liked her ‘poetry’
He has a big banner shot of her at his site.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

I saw a Maya Angelou poem written on a truckstop bathroom wall once.

It began,
“Here I sit, brokenhearted....”

[Resettozero]

I never understood what the hell she was trying to say in her poetry.

Unity gobbledegook.

Wanted you to believe she was Christian but was not a follower of Jesus Christ and did not publicly and regularly proclaim His Lordship in her life in word and deed.

Lost and died alone.

[TexasRepublic]

LOL! Now, that is real talent!

[PeaceBeWithYou]

As they say, if you can't say anything nice, say nothing...

My sympathies to the devil.

A bad poetry tribute to Maya Angelou:

Gone from us Maya, we all haz a sad You were so old with poems so bad You wrote what you felt which sadly was poo We miss you already oh my Angelou.

Very good. Much better than anything she ever wrote.
