Decades ago, there were late-night comedians who made jokes at the expense of prominent politicians and policy-makers. But the late-night shows were balanced- they criticized prominent politicians equally, and they showed no favoritism.

Then, as the “golden-age” hosts retired, came the new wave. Convinced by their college professors that they were right, the new breeds of late-night hosts were thoroughly convinced that their liberal ideology was correct, and no challenges would be accepted. While accusing the right-wing traditionalists of being fascists, it was more like the late-night hosts were fascists, because fascists do not allow any criticism, the very behavior that they so roundly criticized the conservatives of doing.

Dead windowsill housefly,
Ghostly halo
Tiny white spores,
Death trap!
Insect invaded,
Brain co-opted
Highest perch possible,
Sporerific launching pad,
“Come one, come all,”
Delectable flies!

Tidal breaths,
Bidirectional mammals,
Inhale air
Backtracking exhale.
Like car dead-ending,
Up-street reversing.

Newbornless pods.
