Fresh Dubya

This deal wouldn't go forward if we were concerned about the security for the United States of America.
-- In reference to the sale of port operations for 6 U.S. ports to a U.A.E.-based company. I think Dubya meant to say the deal wouldn't have gone forward if there was any cause for concern regarding the security of the U.S., or at least I hope so. Washington, D.C., Feb. 23, 2006

Merle's new song

Why don’t we liberate these United States,
We’re the ones that need it worst.
Let the rest of the world help us for a change,
And let’s rebuild America first.

Our highways an’ bridges are fallin’ apart:
Who’s blessed an’ who has been cursed?
There’s things to be done all over the world,
But let’s rebuild America first.

Who’s on the Hill and who’s watchin’ the valley?
An’ who’s in charge of it all?
God bless the army an’ God bless our liberty,
And back dump the rest of it all.

Yeah, men in position are backin’ away:
Freedom is stuck in reverse.
Let’s get out of Iraq an’ get back on the track,
And let’s rebuild America first.

Why don’t we liberate these United States,
We’re the ones who need it the most.
You think I’m blowin smoke? Boys it ain’t no joke.
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast.

“OIL”

A prayer for our times a famous prayer by Firesign Theatre

“...anointed with oil on troubled waters?

Oh Heavenly Grid,
help us bear up thy Standard,
our Chevron flashing brightly
across the Gulf of Compromise,
standing Humble
on the Rich Field
of Mobile American Thinking;
Here in this Shell,
we call Life.”

'Death Star' by The Arab League

1st Verse:

It happened in a galaxy not so far away
With a dark force mounting, it's a land in disarray
He who has the will and wants to get their way
Cuts deep to reap, carpe diem (seize the day)
Hack out an empire by hook and by crook
Machiavelli would have gagged at the steps that they took
Improve all instruction, act according to the book
But it came on the sheeple with the ground that they shook
Hands set in motion by the notion of control
Of the souls of those who do exactly what they are told
Stand in line for the ration as the facism unfolds
They twist an iron fist as they tighten their hold
As they come from an acorn of a mighty oak grove
So the tentacles of empire expand and flow
Roots of this dynasty founded long ago
By the thief of the skull and bones of Geronimo!

Chorus:

Wake up, infidel, they've taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!

2nd verse:

They sleep in the tomb, but brother he was down
Married old Yankee money, Prescott don't fuck around
Invested in the Nazis with a bunch of other clowns
Henry Ford, Tyson, Bush, Harriman and Brown
1952, he flew down to get up in it
Blood money bought a seat in the U.S. Senate
Sure, grandpa had the vision, Herbert Walker sold the dope
Profits from the holocaust, George Bush drenched in coke
George Herbert Walker set off to have some fun
Now number one son going to run some guns
Cuba, 1960, smokescreen: Zapata
They couldn't take the Bay of Pigs, accountable for nada
Making papa proud, he do all for da-da
His first taste of blood, his own intifada
Congress and ambassador, move up the ladder
Stabbed Nixon in the back, war chest getting fatter!

Repeat Chorus:

Wake up, infidel, they've taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!

3rd verse:

Director CIA, 1976
Ollie North run the coke, the carrot and the stick
Angola, Noriega, profits getting thick
Put Saddam in power, that also do the trick
Hostage release delayed for a week
Snap Carter in two, Reagan takes a seat
After Reagan descends, then the real fun begins
Unleash the war machine, stretch the dollar thin
One thousand points of light, a new world order
Orchestrate the conflict, break down the border
Introducing drugs, creating disorder
Then they feast on the madness as the time gets shorter!

Repeat Chorus:

Wake up, infidel, they've taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!

Final verse:

The son and dark knight, high as a kite
Light saber fight with a fist full of white
Tries to escape fate but his destiny's in sight
Tries to take credit, but he's just not that bright
Dummy is a mouthpiece for government lies
Burned up desert planet wins votes for these guys
Attracted to power and mass genocide
George Herbert Walker fell to the dark side
Reichstag America, 9-1-1
It's all too easy, you're giving up your guns
Battle the beast in the hot desert sun
Abdullah sizzles hot dogs, and George Bush is one!

Repeat Chorus:

Wake up, infidel, they've taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!

Everything I know about monetary policy I learned in the Oklahoma County Jail

Tyrone ran it. What he wanted he got. But he was kind enough to "buy" our meager goods from us. Tyrone's favorites were chips, soda and cigarettes. But the "money" was a little piece of notebook paper upon which Tyrone would write down a number, then rip out the sheet, and hand you your "Tyrone Dolla". If Tyrone was feeling generous he would write down $2.oo or even $3.00. This was the official currency. Tyrone's contributions to the prison economy were "protection services", that no one wanted, and also running the printing press. Those dumb enough to buck the system were RAPED. Day after day Tyrone printed his dollas and inflation kicked in. Everybody had a stash of these stupid slips of paper with Tyrone's crude printing. Then a new guy came in. Mustafa. Mustafa did not like Tyrone or his stupid slips of paper. So he got his own notebook and went into the printing business himself. Guess what Mustafa did to those dumb enough not to accept his notes...yeah. When I mercifully got out last fall Tyrone and Mustafa were about to go to war.

UAE royals, bin Laden's saviours

http://in.rediff.com/news/2004/mar/25osama.htm

A few months before the "inside job" perpetrated on the U.S.A. by Dick Cheney et al. known as 9-11, Señor or "Sheikh" (as he would say) bin Laden was treated at an American hospital in Dubai, UAE.

He probably died in December of that same year and was in cahoots with U.S., British and Israeli intelligence until the day his kidneys finally failed him for the last time.

Israel changed US, Muslim world ties

This country is going to go down hard because of Israel. Israel will survive and indeed will always get its multibillion-dollar foreign aid handout from Capitol Hill (which Pat Buchanan describes as "Israeli-occupied territory"), but the American middle class will have to be sacrificed, as is already occurring.

Chavez tells Rice: ‘Don’t mess with me, girl’

I don't know what her problem is with Hugo, but Condoleezza Rice's anti-Russian stance is based on sexual problems according to the famed "ultranationalist" Russian legislator.

You know, I just noticed something in that photo. Hugo has a gap between his teeth just like Condi does. They may just hit it off, after all.

Be my Valentine, Condi

Okay, it's a day late. And from the look on her face, I don't think she's willing anyhow.

Love still is

As time goes by and we grow from a child into adulthood
Love still is

As time goes by and relationships change from union to separation
Love still is

As time goes by and our children leave the place we have made home
Love still is

As time goes by and our parents leave us through death of the body
Love still is

As time goes by and relationships change from passion to friendship
Love still is

As time goes by and all we valued once upon a time has gone
Love still is

As our time here on this level of awareness ends
Love still is

Let us keep Love in the here and now and not let another day go by without telling all in our world just how dearly they are loved ...

When all else dies away ...
Love still is

Boo!

What evil does to men's faces

The mere passage of 30 years of time would not have transmogrified Cheney and Rumsfeld into the hideous-looking monsters they are today. What this shows me is that the evil thoughts we have and deeds we do are etched into our faces as time progresses.

HA HA HA AMERICA continued

The Pentagon has now renamed the flagging "War on Terror" and "rebranded" it as "The Long War."

Ask yourself how a Chinese speaker would pronounce that. The Chinese are right even when they mispronounce our words.

Is it wartime yet?

HA HA HA AMERICA

A translated harangue from China to the U.S.A. that laughs at our missteps

When I was 5, Red China announced it had conducted an atom bomb test. I remember how scared it made me feel, not knowing that Russia already had hundreds of them. I always instinctively feared Chinese more than Russians after having only seen images of them as a child. I think such a reaction must have a racist element to it.

I no longer fear the Chinese. However, as this movie shows, they are gradually taking us over without firing a shot. Too bad, so sad, as one of the subtitles reads. But even a "hillbilly" figure it out by now.

Story

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

May today there be peace within you.

I came across this book review after having read a book review of the latest Gail Sheehy book by this same author.

This photo brings to mind the old saying, "Rode hard and put up wet." I suppose that is literally true in this case. I wouldn't want to be this woman's proctologist. But(t) then again, I wouldn't want to be ANYONE's proctologist.
