Poppies And Snow

Commenter Kathy Kinsley made an excellent rejoinder to my comment at Reverse Gramscianism.

Me

The right lacks a heart and the left lacks a brain. And neither has the courage to change.

“The right lacks a heart and the left lacks a brain.” And that’s how the Wizard of Oz got elected.

” Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

Heh.

    Thanks – that just jumped out at me…and he really is a lot like that character.

    “You’ll find he is a whiz of a Wiz
    If ever a Wiz there was.
    If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was
    The Wizard of Oz is one because
    Because, because, because, because, because…
    Because of the wonderful things he does.”

    Note: there is never any explanation of WHAT it is he does( in the movie – except be the Wonderful Wizard…).

    Sounds familiar…lol.

    But…somewhere over the rainbow…(with the unicorns and such). Hope and change. Yeah. If only.

    Yanoo, that musical post of yours a while back still fits. Even if it’s not the same author/mythos.

    “When logic and proportion
    Have fallen sloppy dead
    And the White Knight is talking backwards
    And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
    Remember what the doormouse said…”
