The Bonfire of the Priorities

January 16, 2010

A story about millionaires, excess, bad jokes, dead people of color, unscrupulous attorneys and elitism.

Or…which late night talk show host has a bigger dick, and why should we care?

In news desperately attempting to be like news, the NBC/Leno/Letterman/O’ Brien/Kimmel and sometimes Fallon, wars of phallic supremacy…wages on.

    I’m waiting for some fiscal conservative to bitch that too much tax money goes to war. War without end.

    I’m waiting for some fiscal conservative to bitch that too much tax money goes to weapon development.

    I’m waiting for some fiscal conservative to bitch that too much tax money will go to full body scanners at airports in Montana.

    I’m waiting for some fiscal conservative to bitch that too much tax money will go to a fence on a border my Golden Retriever could defeat.

    I’m waiting. Wait a minute…I’m a fiscal conservative. Too much tax money goes to death and imprisonment. I say cut the budget in half, and stop spending money on death and imprisonment and creation of enemies. Start spending money on health care and relief of human suffering and creation of friends.

    I’m not waiting anymore.

      Not sure what more needs to be said barman..

      Of course I try, in my angry/F-bomb dropping kind of way, as I am out of ideas and patience.

      I’d like to believe that what I want, is pretty much what you and a hundred million other Americans would want as well.

      Getting past “our” collective apathy and the endless propaganda?
      I’m not very optimistic.

      Thanks barman, common sense is always welcomed.

    Nah, lens. You’ve got the idea, the skill, the soap box, and the vision. You may be running out of patience. But hang in, we need you. Keep speaking.

    Swing back through Spoklahoma, where Kokanee is an imported beer. You’ll be renewed.

      If I may be so bold…I blame the owners of Fort Spokane Brewery, for the condition of the Spokansas Kokanee condition. That was some damn fine beer. The ‘Border Run’, not the Kokanee.

      I’m a bit touched though, I was also a big fan of the Orange Julius located in the Skywalk. A hot dog, a cup of juice/weird powdered substance and wandering aimlessly throughout the lifted sidewalk, topped off with a binge at Albertini’s?

      Good times.
