Voices from Main Street:



Limericks unfiltered by the media elite:

from
Anna:

Oh Governor Palin, tell me where and when
did you get that American flag lapel pin?
Does third-wave feminism mean
that you must glitter to be seen?
Or do your rhinestones help you rise above the din?

From
Tarp Lazer Palin:

So the truth it stretches and bends
round the vows that my Sarah pretends…
But for less or for more
there's good land off the shore
we'd be happy to sell ya, My Friends.

from
Ryan:

Witch hunters can give you their blessin's,
and Steve Schmidt can try teachin' ya lessons,
but if to no avail
your campaign still fails,
the option's still there for secession!

from
Anna:

The bigots and zealots are bustlin'
the mobs say Obama's a "muslin"
the shell has been cracked
our nation be sacked
by a Palin barbarian invasion.

from
Speck Backfire:

Now it’s true that Republicans aren’t always verbally dexterous,
they sometimes contract old priests to guard leaders from hexes,
but if you think her credentials
not quite vice-presidential,
don’t ask and don’t tell — for that would be sexist.

Thanks to our contributors (and two Annas) and to everyone who's been sending in limericks. There's a crowd of decent Americans gathering in Main Street--and we'll be hearing much more from them this week.
