Cruel but funny post in the thread Will the PG-13 edit of The King's Speech bomb?

I hope PG-13 is a rating BushOK is willing to see, though.  It shows the benefits of a therapist.

Why do you put every sentence on a new line?
It looks like you're writing in verse, yet I detect no meter.
Also, there is no rhyme.  It cannot be blank verse,
For there is no meter.  Then what is it?
Perhaps it is one of those rebellious modern forms of poetry.
You know, the ones that require neither meter nor verse.
I do not know whether I approve of this: I've always been old-school
When it comes to verse.  I mean, I don't want to sound judgmental
But it seems to me like the whole point of poetry was to condense
Your message into a strictly-defined form governed by meter and rhyme.
If this is no longer the case, what rules poetry?
Perhaps, at the end of the day, poetry is only governed by
The box-like shape its lines form.  When you see the constant line break
As in the piece you are currently engaged in, the author clearly does not intend
For you to read it like prose.  You need to take the breaks between lines
And reflect on what you have just read.  Perhaps poetical form
Is just a way to make you slow down and appreciate the wording
Rather than ripping through and seizing the message by itself.
After all, is that not the point of it in the first place?

At first I thought this was a response to Jasengle.
Huh, who knew milhouse was one of them?

Any thoughts, or are we just going to sit back and allow them to take us back two hundred years?

I heckled the bejeepers out of them when they came to Covington. They haven't shown their faces around here since.

I take that back. You're not a rhinoceros. You are a gorgeous octopus.

It's more a very good post than a very funny post, but it definitely deserves recognition.

Regarding what they said of Dr. Paul, they wrongly called him an isolationist. He is a noninterventionist. There is a difference.

And it would be..?

Isolationism also has economic implications.  Chairman Paul is a free trader.

But that was already put in the Goldmine here!

Missed that one. Well, it's worthy of inclusion anyway.

I have to ask, what makes Gingrich more Mormon than DeMint.

Number of wives?

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

None

Generic phknrocket1k's answer.

[courts]

Unfortunately, none of the issues discussed here will help you get girls. That is why no girls come here. Do you think girls want to hear about the trends in West Virginia or the changes in the Texas congressional district map? No. Ergo, the information discussed here is useless to life. Girls want to discuss ponies and tic-tacs and Glee, not the stuff posted here. I would know; I'm a professor.
