It's a long road from Mandalay. More on Ben Stein and presidential lynching. Wind energy blowback. Plus much more.

Face facts folks! Poets like all of the rest of America need the
basics such as food, shelter and water. Any poet that dares write a
“patriotic” poem would be scorned out of existence, relegated to
the trash heap of history and would not be allowed even, to sweep
the floors of any university, let alone be recognized, in modern
day America. They would be forced to sell match sticks on street
corners, in bare their feet, during a subzero cat. 5 blizzard in
order to survive….
