I had a fleeting personal acquaintance with maggots in October, 2005. It happened when Dr. A and I snuck into NOLA from our Red Stick exile. I emptied our fridge and tried but failed miserably to clean it. Back to maggots, when I opened the freezer, flying maggots came zipping out. No longer larvae but living large and post-larval.
I thought of the magggot swarm (band name?) when I saw this piece at Salon:
Peter Morrison, treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party in
Texas, suggests in his newsletter that the state should have an
“amicable divorce” from the “maggots” who re-elected Obama.Morrison posted on hisFacebook
page his post-election thoughts: “We must contest every single inch of
ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every
opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel
of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our
opportunity.”“Texas
was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist
terms about their state,” Morrison continued. “We need to do everything
possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why
should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her
own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we
can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years.”
A band of maggots, that’s what we are. I think we should celebrate our maggothood or is that maggotry? Seriously, the maggots are gonna start gnawing on the Texas body politic soon enough if the Gopers don’t start treating Latins like human beings.
As to the secessionist sentiments, rant on, dude. That issue was settled long ago and I don’t think the enlightened minority in the South deserves to be governed solely by cretins like this bozo Morrison. Secession is a flag that wingnuts like to wave to illustrate their purity. I think it merely illustrates their idiocy.
I think malaka Morrison is suffering from maggot brain. They worm their way into your cerebellum and begin living larval. Then, they force you to say stupid things on Facebook and the Tweeter Tube. In short, you should blame George Clinton:
