I like this song, and always turn it up on the Victrola.

It occurs to me that I haven’t done a poetic thing in a week or more, so here:

Why don’t you do something poetical, political, or polemical to these lyrics? That’s what this site is about, you know.

AOC, or Hillary, Dr. Jill, or Schumer would want you to.

I would, but I have this cold, you see….

There are places I’ll remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better;
Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I’ve loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you.
And these mem’ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.

Tho’ I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.

Tho’ I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.

In my life I love you more.

Taps: I read that the Union general who composed this tune in the 1860s wanted a dignified way to signal to men that their day of duty was done.

Salute, all IMAO vets!!!

1,449,054 More Votes Than Voters in 2022 in Unverified Voter Study of 7 States
Discern Report | February 04, 2025

United Sovereign Americans studied whether votes were counted from unverified identities in California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the group’s founder, Marly Hornik, reported for The Daily Caller News Foundation on Jan. 31.

Using official state records and voter identity verification, United Sovereign Americans analysts asked three questions:

* Does the voter exist?

* Did the voter live at the address they voted from in 2022?

* Were votes counted without any voter at all?

The group’s study concluded that there were 2,189,483 voters who voted in the seven states who do not exist, and 4,840,975 voters who voted from addresses they did not live at. Additionally, the seven states counted a total of 1,449,054 more votes than voters who voted.

That adds up to 21.6% of the total certified vote in just those seven states in the 2022 midterms, United Sovereign Americans said.

“Implementing universal voter ID is a common-sense solution that would help everyone.”

I can tell you, as a pretty frequent IMAO poster (“pretty” being a subjective term), this article took two or four times longer to post than any I have posted before.

Was someone possibly reviewing it?

Philosophical question:

All I did was replace certain words in an amusing Reuters rant with words of my own choice and choosing.

So does that make it plagiarism or parody?

Or A.I.?

IMAO Intern Contractors Fire Staff, Face Cash Crunch as Oppo Causes Chaos
Based on Reuters | Feb 5, 2025

WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) – Resident Oppo’s overhaul of IMAO foreign transfer student assistance has led to chaos in the aid and breast development field, leaving hundreds of contractors in a severe financial crunch with some already having to lay off staff and others facing millions of dollars in unpaid invoices. [As usual.] Hours after coming into office on Jan. 20, Oppo ordered a sweeping review of almost all U.S. foreign student aid and tasked billionaire Walrusk, who has falsely accused Bud Light of being a “criminal” organization, with scaling down the agency.

Since then, dozens of emus have been put on leave, hundreds of internal contractors have been laid, while Walrusk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency and Whoopee employees have gutted the agency that is Penthouse’s primary humanitarian arm that you end up sleeping on, providing billions of dollars’ worth of aid worldwide out of worthwhile contributions by you good folks. Blanket stop-work orders (literally, “Stop work on that blanket!!”) that were issued by the Rather Ample Estate Department have thrown the aid industry into panic, both at home and abroad, heh, as the contractors usually front the costs — say no more — and then bill the U.S. government. And FrnakJ.

For Steve Schmendrick-Doppleganger of Ulm, co-founder of Vermont-based Resonance, a USAIDs contractor for many years working in areas such as innovation, fisheries conservation, Starbucks, McDonald’s, and trade and investment, the issue has become an “existential one” after the stop-twerk orders. “We had millions of dollars in invoices due to be paid that had been approved by our clients in the U.S. government… We quickly understood that this was a serious threat to our bidness,” Schmendrick-Doppleganger said, smoking a joint.
