Scalia is dead.
The world has gotten better.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

[Hortensis]

54. Heartfelt contribution, no doubt, tho. GaYellowDawg,

great thread, thanks. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

[Kalidurga]

2. .....

I can't help but smile
and will remember the day
Tony kicked the can

[underpants]

3. Haiku not me thing

But this is one of my favorite DU threads of all time

[Solly Mack]

4. ...

ding dong, scalia

daisies pushing up

[Gregorian]

5. Haha!

Off to hell you go...

[Solly Mack]

6. Nice title.

[brush]

65. YES!

[Major Nikon]

7. ...

Fuck Antonin Scalia
I will soon piss on his grave
Serendipity

[L. Coyote]

8. sure

Scalia
gone be he forever now
no more rant from him

[SwankyXomb]

9. Let us not forget those he left behind

Clarence Thomas weeps
He has lost his only friend
Who will pull his strings?

[Orrex]

10. Let me take a crack at it

His hell now worse as
Scalia hears Obama:
Nominate Warren.

[FourScore]

11. Bigotry is dead

Bigotry is dead
On the US Supreme Court
Prayers for those he harmed

[Gabi Hayes]

12. Rumor has it......

You big, fat, dead prick
You can take off your manssiere
Now that you are dead

[tk2kewl]

44. you win!

[Gabi Hayes]

48. ahhhhhh! haaaahhhh!

love that picture.

I was thinking more along the lines of a teddy/bustier thing. what do you call this?

[Human101948]

51. The Emetic...

known to cause violent regurgitation.

[Gabi Hayes]

56. heh, definitely true, but I was referring to the contraption

holding in his moobs, with the crosshatched stitching, or whatever you call that stuff

[kairos12]

58. Spewing my tea on that one.

[betsuni]

13. ...

Bramble-covered path
Dry winter thorns, a sharp prick
Scalia is dead!

[Gabi Hayes]

17. not a sharp prick...

a bloated, fat prick

[betsuni]

21. Well, some people say he was sharp as far as making legal arguments goes.

One of those diabolical forms of intelligence, like sociopaths. I always thought he was nuts. Funny that we were both thinking of pricks at the same time.

[Gabi Hayes]

25. I was only offering a five syllable edit to

your line.

couldn't agree with you more as to your answer to my post.

cheerio!

[scarletwoman]

14. Here you go:

Found dead in the morn.
Was there a smell of sulfur?
Quick, air out that room!

[Gabi Hayes]

30. have you been showing the prayer wheel for a long time?

can't remember....been gone for a long time.

thanks for that---don't have that on my computer.

lover the site whence it comes.

found a bigger one at that great site:

I like this one, too

[mountain grammy]

15. Thanks for a great thread..I'll try

Good bye fat tony
America would be even better
If you had taken Clarence with you.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

74. don't get my hopes up

...

[beac]

16. Scalia dropped dead

Scalia dropped dead.
Surely, this makes someone sad.
I am not someone.

[lindysalsagal]

23. Winner!

[Dont call me Shirley]

18. Haiku...

Elitist Racist
No more able to destroy
Hard working people

[msanthrope]

19. Here you go......

Fat Tony is dead
Clarence Thomas is bereft
Who pulls the strings now?

[Autumn Colors]

20. In his own jargon ...

Scalia can now
jiggery-pokery in
argle-bargle hell

[Jim Lane]

22. I don't like grave dancing but I can't resist a haiku thread.

Three lines on Nino?
I'd need much more space to list
All that he did wrong.

[Hortensis]

52. Those who mourn him most will be those he served best.

Dreams of destruction,
The big 'dozer seizes and dies -
Kochs on Prozac, oh!

[Hortensis]

57. Sort of accidentally posted under yours, but I was

grabbed by your title, Jim, and the creative urge couldn't be denied.

"Three lines on Nino?" - Great theme, btw. There'll be plenty of heavy tomes, and I don't think his record will be considered at all admirable once we recover from this period in which many of the worst of conservative ideas were coated over with a temporary whitewashing of respectability.

[Jim Lane]

59. I was wondering why you posted there.

But your doing so brought more attention to my own humble offering, so I'm cool with it.

[Hortensis]

62. First five syllables, "Humble offering..." :)

Clear-eyed Jim Lane contributes -
Citizen judgement, oh!

Humble offering
Jim Lane hampered by Haiku -
Judicious restraint, oh!

[lindysalsagal]

24. This is what you get

This is what you get
When you threaten unionists.
Agency is safe!

[Gabi Hayes]

26. for now. if the dems don't win, the California

case will be one of the very first on the docket.

destruction of unions is right up there at the top of their list, along with gutting SS and Medicare, not to mention ACA

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I love haiku.

Grass will never grow
on Fat Tony's grave because
too much pee kills grass

[Mariana]

38. I like it.

Too bad his casket
is probably waterproof
to keep the pee out.

[elljay]

28. I am inspired

A sound from above
St Peter locking the gate
Scalia's hell bound

Thank you for allowing us to express our heartfelt emotions on this momentous occasion.

[Buzz cook]

29. A dead Scalia

Does more for the US than
A live Scalia

[Lint Head]

31. Oh momma mia

No more Tony Scalia
What more can I say

[dooner]

32. Farewell to Nino

Farewell to Nino
Whose viewpoint was mean-o
A sentence awaits

[Warpy]

33. OK....

Fat Tony is dead
Sun shines brighter, air is clear
Better days coming

[Yupster]

34. Think of the quail

Quails flying hither
World will be safer for birds
Scalia is dead

[Maru Kitteh]

49. I like that

How many innocent birds and people will be spared harm now. It's a good thing.

[GoldenThunder]

35. Haiku for Fat Tony

Antonin descends
Flames consume his rotten soul
Smells like lasagna

[Flying Squirrel]

36. ...

The stench of Reagan
Still fills my nostrils today
But this too shall pass.

[Mariana]

37. Here goes.

You believed the states
should execute innocents.
Burn in Hell, Tony.

[begin_within]

39. Mine

Tony Scalia

You know all those court cases?

Fughettabout'em.

[mahina]

40. How do you like your baby boy now, Mr. Death?

Antonio called up
God forgive you, I can not
You caused so much harm.

[Betty Karlson]

41. Hm, let's see:

Tony never thought

How much he'd hate this verdict:

No way to appeal.


----------------------


The Reaper struck him

While Scalia slept in bed:

Rude awakening!

[Betty Karlson]

42. "Applesauce this is!

Unconstitutional to
Banish me to Hell!"

[SwankyXomb]

43. How to balance the budget

At Scalia's wake
I would charge you a dollar
To kick his balls in

[elljay]

45. More inspiration

I am in heaven
My morals were so pure- wait
Is that Hitler? Shit!

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Under crisp sheets

Under crisp sheets

Your "friends" they left without you.

Go and hunt no more

[librechik]

50. Today

Today I must kick
Tomorrow will be so bright
Wake up Obama!

[RufusTFirefly]

53. Scalia is dead

Scalia is dead
But aspens turn in clusters
Corruption lives on

[Gabi Hayes]

55. hey! how about that adaher idiot on the SD forum?

I assume you're the same RTF, yes?

''Scalia wasn't an activist, he had an actual judicial philosophy which was so compelling that it's now accepted doctrine among even many liberal jurists.''

just shows how the typical RW ideologue is incapable of rational thought, living inside a bubble impervious to analysis of observable reality

[RufusTFirefly]

70. Nope. Wasn't me.

There are a couple of impersonators out there.

[Gabi Hayes]

71. you should go there and demand satisfaction

from the impostor

though he/she is spot on in his/her observations

[RufusTFirefly]

73. Good idea.

[mishi48.59]

60. I love it!

there's some exceptional haikus here

[kairos12]

61. Tony and the Quail

Fat Tony is gone.
The Quail live, fly by his window
and laugh.

[Gabi Hayes]

63. permittez-moi, s'il vous plait

Homo, lesbo, non!
Citizens United, mais
oui! Restez dans merde.



REALLY interesting breakdown of the supposed genius' complete misrepresentation of actual historical events:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/7/21/1225510/-Antonin-Scalia-Links-Holocaust-to-Judicial-Activism-Spews-Nonsense

from a speech at the Utah Bar Association:

''Scalia opened his talk with a reference to the Holocaust, which happened to occur in a society that was, at the time, “the most advanced country in the world.” One of the many mistakes that Germany made in the 1930s was that judges began to interpret the law in ways that reflected “the spirit of the age.” When judges accept this sort of moral authority, as Scalia claims they’re doing now in the U.S., they get themselves and society into trouble.''

[brush]

64. Here's one

Well, well
Scalia to hell
. . . Oh well


Great thread, GaYellowDawg.

[Gabi Hayes]

66. bird brains

Quail, Quayle, fly away.
Dan Quayle, no John Kennedy.
Nino! No shoot quail!

[Laughing Mirror]

67. Glad you lived to see

Marriage equailty and
It killed you Tony.

[SwankyXomb]

68. another one

Right wing DU-ers
Whine that we mock Scalia
Freeperville, that way

[MurrayDelph]

69. To paraphrase Moms Mabley

One should never talk
Of the dead unless it's good.
Scalia's dead. Good.

[Gabi Hayes]

72. reap what you sow, you sow

Nino thanatos.
Piggish lifestyle brings demise.
Dine, coprophages!

[Arugula Latte]

75. I call this one "Flush"

Reagan's putrid turd
Will stink up the joint no more
Get the big plunger

[Arugula Latte]

76. Nod to the Pythons:

Tony has expired
He can't be nailed to the bench
He's an ex-bigot.

[DUgosh]

77. Limerick

There once was a justice named Anton
Who wanted the laws to be undone
He went to a dinner
In Texas A winner
But woke not having lost the real big one

[Phentex]

78. For Whom The Bell Tolls

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Black Heart with Black Robe No More
All Lives Matter Now

[Gabi Hayes]

79. a friend and I are working on some new ones

time for others to re-commit, especially after today's vomit fest

[Iggo]

80. .

Glad you're dead, Fuck Face.
Hope you were scared the whole time.
And I hope it hurt.
