Premium Member Marx on the Hudson
They used to call it the Empire State. But the empire isn't doing too great. Democrats in power, big ideas they plan. Too bad for the middle class and the forgotten man. Low-income high rise in your village Middle class won't escape the general pillage. Congestion and crime, they'll surely bring, Practical doesn't matter, ideals are everything. Landlords, its coming, statewide rent control. They...

Premium Member Never Let Them Know
I feel sorrow and dread when they borrow ideas from Marx. The sorry living, and the dead, know it never works. It never has in the least. To that, let the millions of people this theory has killed attest; And let them, in peace, rest. But always comes a new crew, who are sure they can make it work. And now they are banging...

Classic Radio I crave classic radio! Boston Blackie and The Shadow; Captain Midnight; Fibber Maggie and Molly; Ace detectives fighting crime; Or comedians making up limericks in rhyme.

A Paean For the Marx Brothers
THE MARX BROTHERS or The Unimportance of Being Earnest I will praise the brothers Marx for their absurdity As all ‘fools’ who mask high wisdom with the artless May they lift our spirits faced with an adversity The rejection of such gladness would be heartless For when loosed of strictures rife with disapproval Their spirits could create with wild abandon Then without...
