If you think about the way the hearings were structured, the hearings were really about Thomas' race and my gender.

Too many of my Senate colleagues overdid it. They stayed on too long - napping through committee hearings when they should have packed up and gone home.

I want to make it clear that I honestly answered every question put to me during the so-called Iran-Contra hearings. But if they didn't ask me about something, I wasn't about to reveal things that would put other people in jeopardy.

Back in the mid-1980s, congressional hearings were held after we brought this litigation, and held up the first experiment. At that time, I went in front of Congress, along with the major agencies involved with this.

We've had public hearings. We've had interim reports, which our statute has encouraged us to provide to the public. We have brought the public along with us, trying to make as much available as possible over time.

Aches and Pains
Aches and pains, joints a creaking
Driving me insane
Knees go crack, hips dislodge
I'm walking like John Wayne!
Lines and wrinkles, needs some filler
These creases need to go
I also need a miracle cure
For the pain in my big toe!
Boobs headed south, hair's gone thin
My bum has got too fat
Eyes can't see much anymore
I'm almost blind as a bat!
My hearings gone I need an aid
And now the battery died
This age that's creeping up on me
I really can't abide!
Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.

Beady
Beady eyes looked out onto the field of vision,
Someone cried, shorter and longer were the shadows;
Locked into a storeroom, other senses quickly returned,
Fitting the behaviour of the past and future.
He was worth eating, worthy of praise as a taste
To the eyes, and the ears will feel hearings of taste.
He swallowed himself, and all the food was hard,
Yet someone cried and fell aghast at the nonsense.

A Change You Can't Believe In
A Change You Can't Believe In
A change you might believe in
Was slowly compromised,
And nothing was accomplished
To better people's lives.
No bold decisive action-
Just posturing on the floor
Of the House and the Senate
And talks behind the door.
The public was left out
From hearings and debates,
Save for some town hall shouts
About the fascist state.
And so a monstrosity
Came to the light of day-
Two thousand plus pages
Of corporate giveaways.
So you can thank Obama
For this historic leap
Into politics as usual,
Where promises are cheap.

Thirteen Nights
I was thirteen nights without an afternoon,
Before sleep the eternal snows began
To reach into my arctic heart, the running
Was about and fruitful like the heart.
It was snowing forming crystals
As the cold and the gardens bowed down
To the whole arena from the first cry.
I have a muffling silence to trap my socks,
On the garden walls, like dangerous balls
Of ice.
Enemy and hearings approached the roads,
Inside them a hearing collided with
Right snowballs.
Beating the ice was like a hunter
After its prey and breaking the ice
Confirmed a really panicky gesture.
My waiting for the ancient ice
Found me in a swallowing for the rights,
The going was rougher for the icicles,
Blue were the eyes of a reality.
