Chris Christie Says Wednesday’s Debate Will Let Mitt “Restart” His Campaign

How many “restarts” does Gov. Romney need

Before looking totally diminished?

That option isn’t really on the table but we are

Much closer to his being “finished.”

The last Republican I can think of who similarly was

Bereft of any message to sell

To voters was Bush the Elder --- you may recall how

For the GOP it didn’t go well.

It looks as if the guys running Mitt's campaign

Are incompetent and asleep at the controls

If instead of closing the deal they’re restarting

A month before people head to the polls.

Romney Whines About “Character Assassination”

Such a dull man still manages

To always fascinate:

When you lack character, there

Is none to assassinate.

Romney On The 47% Comment: “That’s Not The Campaign, That Was Me”

So, Mitt isn’t his campaign? Wow.

What a strange point of view his is.

That’s the boldest splitting of hairs

Since Bill redefined what “is” is.

Romney Says His Campaign Doesn’t Need A “Turnaround”

If Mitt’s campaign were a company Bain took over

There would now be terrible tensions

As they sold furniture, computers and tried to screw

Its employees out of their pensions.

Words To Live By

Marie Antoinette’s “Let them eat cake!”

Who could ever top it?

Ann Romney did, also with four words:

“You people … stop it.”

(To be fair, Ann’s gaffes were

Actually done

On two occasions and Marie’s

Just on one.)

But they’re kindred spirits in

Condescension & deceit:

They’re the icing on the cakes

They want others to eat.

The GOP Candidate’s Latest Pivot

This campaign keeps getting

Odder and odder --- it

Seems Mitt is now trying to

Appear more moderate.

Romney wants to shun the extreme far right

Not completely but, you know, just a little

And only because that leaked tape showed his

Contempt for the lower class & the middle.

Is anything that would fall under the

Re: Mitt’s Accusations About Obama’s Handling Of The Libyan Embassy Crisis

Romney (if he had half a brain)

Soon would have halted it.

He didn’t just jump the gun. The

Truth is he pole vaulted it.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula --- Filmmaker Behind Anti-Islam Movie --- Was Jailed For Intending To Sell Meth

This stupid bastard whose only success

Was, at the end of the day, making mad

Most of the world, would’ve been killed

In the first season of “Breaking Bad.”

Romney & Ryan Are Still Hyping A Budget Plan With No Details

If they were used car salesman, they wouldn’t
Say if the car had been in crash.
They wouldn’t let you look at the odometer
But would like you to pay cash.

They wouldn’t let you gaze under the hood
But would say the engine is the best: I’ve
Also forgotten to mention they wouldn’t
Discuss allowing you to take a test drive.

A Few Thoughts On Patt Morrison’s Radio Show Being Dropped

Since Patt will soon be shown the KPCC door

Maybe it’s time to reevaluate

Some other things just taking up space here

In the good ol’ Golden State.

Pasadena’s yearly parade is nice, I guess,

If you like roses

But it’s been around for far too long, so in

2013, it closes.

JPL? See ya! Curiosity landed but Mars

Is bleak, empty & quite a far

Place to go and just drive around in a

Rather pricey souped-up car.

The Hollywood Bowl is beloved and I

Really don’t mean to goof on it

But why keep it around when everyone

Would prefer it had a roof on it?

The Capitol Records building was built to look

Like a turntable with more than one record.

But turntables aren’t in fashion. Besides, aren’t

Musicians’ pasts often grim and checkered?

Yes, I know there are positive things to say

About the Griffith Park Observatory

But it’s way too high and hard to get to, so

Let’s dispatch it off to purgatory.

Olvera Street? Adios! I’m sure we can agree

It’s from a long ago era --- is

Anyone (without using Wikipedia) even sure

What the heck an “Olvera” is?

Angels Flight runs too short a distance to

Let it remain: I bet

No one will really miss Sinai & the same

Applies to Olivet.

Walt Disney Concert Hall isn’t old and

Things do look awfully slick there

But lose it anyway because its conductor

Has inappropriately thick hair.

(Speaking of the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Instead of Gustavo Dudamel

Dump him and go get that young hunk from

“Transformers,” Josh Duhamel.)

Vin Scully’s been on the air for 63 years?

Take him off KLAC and I mean STAT!

Put him on briefly throughout the day:

Just like KPCC wants to do with Patt.

The Bradbury Building is nice but ancient:

It belongs in Madam Tussauds

Along with The Pantry, LACMA & haven’t

You eaten enough at Musso’s?

The Watts Towers look rickety & were done

Without a professional design

And don’t you think “tagging” whenever you

Look at the Hollywood Sign?

Patt’s a landmark on the SoCal landscape.

Among her many fans, few joke

About her leaving. Actually, none. This is

Going to be KPCC’s New Coke.

Tony Peyser has been a fan of Patt Morrison’s

for the last few decades and appeared on her

show as her poet-in-residence for the last few

months.

Mitt’s Been Taking It Easy The Last Few Days

At this point as the actual nominee

I’d like to mention, Gov. Romney,

To be present in the media, you

Should be --- you know --- omni-.

But you’re off the trail & on your boat

And in the wrong direction. Here

Is a little advice: there are no days off

During a presidential election year.

Badly injured, he has amnesia but discovers

I call it “The Bain Identity.”
