Your Say
I like it...started to think of him as "Obymandias" shortly after he was elected and began what sure looks like a campaign to stomp through the country like Godzilla rampaging through the bad parts of town.

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
Indeed.

Christ, Gerard.... I just never thought I would live in these times.
I grew up reading this stuff; I stuffed it in my mental rucksack and carried them while I did Good Things in the Army. I would pull them out once in a while, along with A.E Housman, Yeats, Coleridge, Milton and John Donne. I just never thought I would need them. I didn't think I would live in a world where we needed them again....

The illustration of the crashed "big O" needs a few flies circling around, denoting the stink being given off.

Strangely the crashed O reminds of the crashed alien ship in the first "Alien" movie, the one where they find the alien monster eggs.
When I first saw the Obama symbol in 2008 it reminded me of the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings (look at it upside down).
Might be just me, but why does this guys symbols always evoke dark echoes?

Ah, Gray, that is the enduring value of a classic education.

Hey Gerard, I did a entire parody of "Ozymandias" called "Obymandias" Here, check it out. It's pretty good
I met a pundit from a Beltway land who said
Two cracked and polished screens of glass
Lie in a Rose Garde-
Wait a minute, I've done this. I think it got posted somewhere. Hold on ... OK, here it is
