Mr. Israel (Sheldon Adelson) runs a close second to fellow casino-magnate, The Trumpster, when it comes to bizarre hairstyles — The Trumpster is King of the Combover and Mr. Israel has Orange Hair. Today, The Deadline Poet casts his gaze on Mr. Israel's pate. Several Dumbo governors went to Sin City (Lost Wages) in south Nevada in late March 2014 to demonstrate their pro-Israel bona fides to Mr. Israel at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting at Mr. Israel's Venetian Casino. In return, the Dumbos hoped to receive Mr. Israel's financial support in the upcoming elections of 2014 and 2016. Thanks to the Supremes, Mr. Israel can spend even more money on pro-Israeli candidates. What a disgusting sight: pandering without limits. If this is (fair & balanced) rapacity, so be it.

I Dream of Sheldon With The Bright Orange Hair
By The Deadline Poet (Calvin Trillin)
Tag Cloud of the following piece of writing
(Sung by Republican presidential candidates to the tune of “I Dream of Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair.”)
I dream of Sheldon with the bright orange hair.
He need but beckon, and I’m quickly there.
The views of Sheldon are OK by me.
Always I agree, whatever they might be.
Many are the good things about him. I love each.
Mostly, though, I love the way he does free speech.
I dream of Sheldon with the bright orange hair.
He need but beckon, and I’m quickly there. Ω
