I remember not getting what the hell Public Enemy, the Police or U2 were trying to tell me…
Unfortunately, Garth Brooks, Bocephus and Charlie Daniels were also trying to tell the rest of us something too…
In looking around, I think we know who won.
I’m shooting all this week and then some, so things may be a bit quiet around here.
Be Vigilant and re-kill your teevee.
As another Memorial Day comes to a close, I want to thank the men and women I served with, my friends with VFP, IVAW and the many Vietnam era vets whom I’ve met in the last six years or so…because you’re still here to thank.
Sometimes we disagree on how to get to where we’re going, but I’d rather get to where we’re going…with those of you who’ve ‘been there done that,’ than those who still send us to die for the same old lie.
A heart felt fuck you to Obama, any Bush, Clinton and the corporate puppets before them.
My apologies to you Tenzing for interrupting your poetry…these are indeed hard days to bear.
the shadows
tombstones make
Memorial Day
Back at it soon. Be Vigilant and let’s hope that Kevin Bacon can somehow save us from this Footloose Homeland, where dancing will get you arrested and telling the truth gets you Patriot Acted.
WWBBWD? Or as they say at the C Street SW, Holiday Inn in DC: ‘What Would Breitbart’s Boehner Weiner Do?’
I’m not sure I really want to hazard a guess about what it is Breitbart’s Boehner Weiner might actually do…but I bet it would involve yet more penis, along with video, mayonnaise and Senator David Vitter.
If you really want to tie all of this together, try going here first.
As if the endless wars on the world along with marijuana, education, employment and the scary anarchists weren’t enough to keep you watching Dr. Oz and his gentle reminders that yes, we’re as stupid as Dr. Phil says we are…well then maybe Andrew Breitbart and his love of the penis will distract you long enough to vote for Obama. Again. Because you’re still mad at Ralph Nader and the killing of 12 Afghan children and two women by NATO…doesn’t piss us off as much as 4 way intersections with stop signs.
Fuck those stop signs and their Godless rules of Socialist Fascism that can only lead to liberal Marxist Anarchy by ACORN!!
George is again, very busy passing gas in the hot tub of conservative megalomania. There are gassy bubbles of fabricated outrage to deal with…along with some floaty things left on top of the water after Newt
got out.
It’s a pretty distasteful mental image no? Except…George is actually making a bit O sense when he asks the question: “why aren’t the liberals clamoring for Obama’s impeachment?“
Damn fine observation George. One that has been made here on more than 800 occasions, but far less than 824, because that would be very not progressive of me. I believe that after 824 times, John Edwards calls and accuses you of being a Libertarian. Or so I hear…
After W invaded Iraq because Saudi Arabia attacked us, the Democrats were rightfully calling for W’s head and or impeachment on a platter. They marched with their correctly spelled signs of outrage, while writing thousands of letters to their K Street owned congresshumans. I’ll give em’ this much…I’ve never seen a throng of marching Teabaggers with correctly spelled signs being able to, you know, march and simultaneously write letters. So kudos!
Wrote the book on not impeaching
War Powers Resolutions are for babbling morons like George W. Bush. Never ending wars for GE’s Fukushima designed reactors that live on major Homeland fault lines…Patriot Acts…unchecked spying on your porn habits…torture, Guantanamo, the Saudi Binladen Group, illegal human deportations, private prisons, a captured Ratko Mladic instead of an executed bin Laden and the eternally still thinking about impeachment from Rep. John Conyers…is pretty much all we can hope for.
If those aren’t the building blocks for a peace-loving, GMO free progressive world , then Arizona is a hotbed of new ideas.
There’s a semi-old saying from Thayil and Cornell….Mark Twain never said it, Palin didn’t have someone else Tweet it, JFK didn’t sleep with it and you didn’t hear about it from Democratic Underground.
It goes something like this: “Hate, if you want to hate, if it keeps you safe…if it makes you brave. Pray, if you want to pray, if you like to kneel…if you like to lay. Don’t come over here and piss on my gate, save it, just keep it off my wave.“
As my friends at the DNC will be sure to remind me, the incomparable Pee-wee Herman once said: “There’s a lotta things about me you don’t know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn’t understand. Things you couldn’t understand. Things you shouldn’t understand.”
So ahhh yeah. Guess I’ve been told.
It’s Friday. Pound a few PBR’s and why not enjoy a Slim Jim or three? The Macho Man would approve!
When I read the headline that a war criminal had been arrested… I knew better, but just for a moment, I had the visual of George W. being hauled off the stage by the Border Patrol at one of his high paying, babblin engagements of idiocy.
In some circles, they call those speaking gigs. I call it treason.
For just a split second more…I also envisioned Karl Rove, Condi, Obama, Cheney, Alberto along with Generals’ McChrystal, Petraeus and Powell: all being arrested for colluding with the enemy of our great nation…the Brothers Koch.
Photographers and their visions.
Perhaps if we were to hire the Serbian security forces, bring them to the Homeland and have them do what the DOJ and the FBI will not? I bet we’d get them for far less than Blackwater. Oh shit never mind…Blackwater is part of the Serbian security force.
There will be arguments on all sides, but this is how we do things. Argue, threaten to act and then go home and eat.
Republicans will argue: that Bush only did what he could with the information he had at the time. I think that pretty much proves he’s a babbling idiot…but maybe the insane defense will work in his favor?
Democrats will argue: that Obama can only do so much with the information, wars, torture and bailouts that he was given. How can we expect him to not be the better Bush? Point very well taken. Twitter will reward you with 689 followers and the brown-skinned humans
will still die.
According to Normon Solomon, peace doesn’t pay Boeing, yet it is spoken here like gospel. 
Peace gospel. It’s no wonder the evildoers hate us for our freedoms and not our policies of death and profit.
Fukushima is worse than Al Roker will ever divulge, yet we want to build plutonium pits in New Mexico and extend the Patriot Acts, because the Obama girls think peace is for them, not you.
The Homeland is filled with crime. We hate liberals, conservatives, Teabagger racists…Mexicans and anyone else with a deeper shade of soul and or skin color than ourselves.
Muslims? Fugetabouit.
The answer my friends, is not blowing in the wind. Most times the wind will just give us cancer. No, the answer is within.
The answer will come we can not name who just won American Idol. Answers will flow, when we can send our children to fully funded schools, where we know each of their teachers by name. Answers will occur, when sending our children to war for Lockheed Martin no longer seems like a good idea. God won’t answer your questions, you have to. Bush won’t answer any questions until Obama does.
Which all leads to the question…do you know what the business-records provision is that resides within the glorious Patriot Act?
Write Rep. John Conyers and ask him about impeachment, high crimes, misdemeanors and spineless balls. He’ll get back to you sometime after he’s dead.
Peace and may all of our ‘mistakes’ be paid for by Erik Prince.
Obama’s Holder at the DOJ has decided to prosecute John Edwards for violating finance campaign laws. I say finance campaign laws…because campaigns are selectively financed by the DOJ and its blind allegiance to the Koch.
Justice is what makes the private prison corporations go round.
Justice…keeps Karl Rove and Condoleezza Rice out of Guantanamo.
Justice is for those who are trying to tell you something is wrong.
There will be no “justice” for Iraq, but more than enough for
Saudi Arabia.
Barry Bonds will be investigated for cheating baseball…Bush will just play with Laura’s balls.
Who’s next? Lance Armstrong and Bradley Manning?
Justice. Coming soon to a Patriot Acted Homelandian like you!
Justice Just Outside
Bob Dylan’s influence on the pre-Homeland society of America, was about as influential as influential can get. However, Matt Dillon’s influence on the society of pre-Homeland America was easier to understand.
Dylan successfully mumbled his way through the last 40 years, because his legions of fans had no idea what he was saying. Kind of like ol’ George W. Just nod and smile and maybe he’ll go away.
Bob Dylan was the Toyota Prius of the conservative democrat, long before conservative democrats were against war and torture…and yet somehow before they were for Obama’s wars and torture for Bank of America. 
Think of it this way, Bob is to the Peace Prius driver as Obama is to the Palin/Bachmann cleavage watcher.
Obama does Bush better than Bush. The Peace Prius driver was against the Bush, now they’re knee-deep in the Bush. The Palin/Bachmann cleavage watcher? Obama’s black.
Dylan is 70, down is up and Border Patrol Patriots do not speak Farsi.
Life is like Maggies Farm. It’s a protest song that’s not really about protesting, but more about Peace Prius drivers and their faded Obama stickers of hope.
I think I’ll take my cues on living from Pat Healy, Cliff Poncier and Bob Hughes…because they’re more like most of us Whole Foods Market shoppers, than any Walmart shopper knows.
We don’t have time for psychological romance…but we’re getting ‘romanced’ by the Homeland anyway.
We the Patriot Acted are hard pressed for time. We’re barely able to procreate for the troops while simultaneously battling through a useless, four-hour round trip commute to our defense industry jobs…that kill Muslims for Kraft Brand foods. Mainly because Goldman Sachs says so.
In other words, Robert Gates can’t tell the difference between an un-raptured Teabagger, from a liberal-minded, war supporting MoveOn.orger.
I think it was the great LeVar Burton who once “said”: The symbiotic relationship between Roots, Star Trek and Reading Rainbow, is somewhat related to those differences between Bush’s illegal wars and torture for Lockheed Martin — from synonymous Obama’s. Change, whether it comes from a new Dilithium Crystal, or in the form of an extended Patriot Act, or even as a $55 billion dollar contract for some shiny new Air Force bombers…is in and of itself just like the change we needed in 1983. In 1983, Reagan was doing away with socialist-like libraries, schools and bridges for Oliver North and Robert Gates’ work with Iran/Contra, the Tower Commission and William J Casey.
Think of it this way, freedom is just a code word for profit margins…and if your library is still open…the books and internet porn are free!
I’m not sure what the hell LeVar and I are even talking about, but that’s alright…this is what Jesus invented the Discovery Channel and Michele Bachmann for.
Word up and stuff.
Thyme Shopping Network
We can’t see how spending trillions on Obama’s wars and torture camps instead of education, Cuban missile-like health care, or farmers markets…led to the miscommunication between Jesus and Harold Camping.
Jesus was out of Thyme…and Harold was chosen to go shopping.
Shopping for Jesus is still pretty cool, but it doesn’t pay Eric Prince to kill brown-skinned humans.
If there were any lessons to be learned, we’d just ignore them and keep blaming Ralph Nader for Obama’s Bush. Obviously Harold’s no angel, he’s just an older, less insane version of Tom Cruise.
Education! A terrible thing to fully fund.
Thyme! A herb that Jesus is still out of.
Profit! Jesus died for it and then Saudi Arabia attacked us.
