I just had to post this.

Newt Gingrich Declares War on "McGovernik Counterculture"
by Allen Ginsberg

Does that mean war on every boy with more than one earring on the same ear?
against every girl with a belly button ring? What about nose piercing? a diamon in right nostril?
Does that mean more plainclothesmen high on LSD at Dead concerts?
What about MTV--no more Michael Jackson, no Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues? Yoko & John no more Give Peace a Chance
Will there be laws against Punk, Generation X, the Voidoids, Slackers, Grunge?
Blues, Jazz, Bebop, Rocknroll? Where did it get countercultural?
What about Elvis' Pelvis? Sonic Youth dumbed, Cobain's screams banished from Nirvana?
No more grass on college campuses, Mushrooms stomped to death by the Elephant Party?
What about African-Americans? That's a terrific Counterculture, & what about the Yellow Peril, Chinese Restaurants? New Age Cooking? Is Japanese Sushi too much Zen?
Sitting meditation, that be frowned satanic in Congress? Tai Chi, Tai Kwando, Karate, Martial Arts? Ballet? Opera, La Bohème ?
Don't mention us cocksuckers?! Is eating pussy countercultural? Sappho, Socrates, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Proust in or out the canon?
J.E. Hoover's name wiped off FBI granite in the Capital?
Poetry slams, is poetry countercultural, like a Third Party?
Is ecology pro or counter culture? Astronomy determining the Universe's age & size?
Long hair, relativity, is Einstein countercultural?

4. McGovernik Culture?

Why didn't he start ranting about "acid, amnesty and abortion"?.

That's not going to mean a lot to anyone but us "aging baby boomers" - and many of us are proud to be "McGoverniks".

6. And Newt Gingrich isn't going to mean a lot to anyone but...

well...

Newt Gingrich.

7. Yikes...I have more than one earring on the same ear!

My first date with my now-wife was to a Dead concert (stoned, but we weren't tripping). I had sushi for lunch today. So many things on that list...yikes. This is WAR, huh? I better armor up.
