The Wit and Wisdom of Mickey McWhirr
Mickey McWhirr appears towards the end of the novel, Pianist in a Bordello, but just because the novel ends does not mean that Mickey ceases creative production.
Mickey's original axioms are mostly expressed as rhymes, but he also quotes other wise souls.
"The power of the rhyme outlasts its time."
"You always have time for a political rhyme."
"I will quote no rhyme before its time."
"Van, van’s a used up man.” – Part of same song that brought us, “Tippecanoe and Tyler Two,” in the 1840 election.
"Fret not about which teachers we fire, If we pay a lot to the teachers we hire."
"Paying broadband bills feels like an act of futility, so let’s regulate Comecast like a public utility."
"Hey climate change deniers whose brains are tightly locked, like “flat-earthers” and luddites, you’re soon the laughing stock."
"They present few Fox facts about the trauma, they must leave time to blame it on Obama."
"The zealot and the bigot we should castigate, but it is the compromiser we must celebrate."
"Interrogation or torture is only part of the story, losing allegiance of Iraqis buried American glory."
"Hey cable news, the numbers still show, the more they watch, the less they know."
"Hey cable news, keep pushing us to tears, for the country to be safe, you must spread more fear."
"Bill O wants us to buy an army, guys with steel backbones, but do we really need mercenaries, when we have drones?"
"License parenting, not marrying."
"I like Ike." from the 1952 election.
"With minimum wage and the interstate just part of his show, would IKE be a pariah in today’s party of no?"
