23. A place where there isn’t any trouble? Do you suppose there is such a place? There must be. It’s not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It’s far, far away. Behind my ear, beyond the Moon…

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Beyond this morass,
    There’s a land that I heard of
    Often in pol-sci class.

    Somehow over the rainbow
    Where pigs flew,
    No more poor, and no more criminals
    The wealthy pay their due.

    Someday we’ll wish upon a star
    And wake up where reality is far
    Behind us.
    Where our budgets never feel a chop
    Social programs never stop
    Taxes increase without a fuss.

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Classes see eye-to-eye.
    When pigs fly over the rainbow.
    Why can’t we even try?

    When happy little piglets fly
    Beyond the rainbow
    Our budget could be balance by July!

    “Don’t point that finger at me, Daddio, or I’ll cut it off!”

    A little too far to go for far too little.

    Comment by dupage dan Tuesday, Jun 8, 10 @ 2:12 pm

45. So there we were on Ceti Alpha V and Khan is putting this big bug thing in Quinn’s ear and says, “You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex.
