Sisyphus Grass
The grass needed mowing so you mowed it
The grass needed water so you watered it
The kids needed food so you bought some
The kids needed attention so you mowed the grass
The grass needed mowing
So you mowed it to absurdity
We’ll Apologize to Everyone in 130 Years
Fight back or be occupied
Think for yourself
Or just vote one for the Gipper
The Homeland resembles Russia – China resembles our closed union-free factories.
The mock trials of the Homeland – resemble the mock trials in Russia.
What part of our authoritarian political system is it that we’re not getting?
If you recall the continued freedom of Goldman Sachs – you’d be closer to getting it.
Fight back or be occupied
Think for yourself
Or just vote one for the Gipper
Terrorists are what we call brown-skinned humans who disagree with us killing them.
Patriots are what we call the white guys who terrorize for the NRA.

TrapWire has been around for a while.
It’s a Bush-like illegal surveillance system that Obama still uses to kill off your pretend Bill of Rights.
It’s like Nixon never left.
See the open Guantanamo for more – then pick any war for even more of the less.
It’s like Nixon never left.
Some day we’ll apologize for all of this—just like we apologized to Native Americans in 2009.
But that future apology will be attached to a war funding bill
Because we’re liberal Democrats like that

There Goes the Martian Health Care System
Illegal Mars Immigrants
So we’ve just illegally entered the border of Mars because, well, we felt like it.
I remember when the Martians didn’t think they needed their own Border Patrol…hell, they didn’t even have a need for borders ‘to’ patrol. But now that they’ve “met us”, about the only optimistic event that will soon befall the Martians is…NASA’s Mohawk Guy.
After the Mohawk Guy, it all pretty much goes downhill for the Martians.
There will be lies – there will be fake food – and there will be the Pentagon’s NRA.
There will be endless war profiteering – there will be Mars ending nuclear disasters – and we will pretend to not know what you ungrateful Martians are complaining about.
We don’t come in peace, and neither does Wolf Blitzer.
Also, sorry about your awesome Socialist-Martian health care…we’re gonna screw that up for you too.
The Sea Star to the Rock God
We may not know much about anomalies or how they relate to Monsanto’s dried out corn, but we do know this much…climate change is making someone more money than all of the dishwashers at Denny’s. Combined!
We may not know much about guns or how they relate to Monsanto’s dried out corn either, but we do know this much…it’s easier to just send the NRA some money, than it is to peel off their sticker from the back of your truck.
We may not know much about where billionaires hide their trillions — and we may not know much about why science needs to build a better Earth ending bomb, but we do know this much…Terrell Owens is coming to Seattle to catch a few balls.
Like the sea star said to the rock it thought drained the water away
Thank you God for having drained the water away
Words Sandwiched Between Two Turns
There are pretend left turns and confused turns to the right
In my day, we said ‘always forward’ and ‘never straight’
Iran isn’t threatening us with their imaginary nuclear weapons
They’re threatening us with not buying what we’re selling
In my day, we always said forward! Never straight!
Obviously, 17-year-olds probably shouldn’t have been drinking
So much Lucky Lager beer.
Behind the Ajar
I get it now. The door has always been ajar.
Not quite closed, but never open too far.
Rusting in the important places used to open it…
Rusting in the important places.
Why is it always ajar?
never open too far
What’s behind the door? That door. That goddamn door… Shut it or open it. Close it and fix it.
Just stop leaving it ajar.
That goddamn door.
Rusting in the important places
never open too far
Craigslisting My Way to North Dakota
Sometimes while perusing Craigslist for photographer jobs in Hawaii and Uzbekistan, it becomes apparent that North Dakota must be hiring about 37,239 truck drivers…to haul contaminated water to many an empty field.
I still have my Class A CDL, but no one in North Dakota is looking for a truck driving photographer…who just wants to capture the revolution on digital film.
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be spilled
Sure I know Uzbekistan and Hawaii don’t advertise on Craigslist for photographers who can’t spell. And you know what? Neither do Spokane, Olympia, Missoula, or Stumptown’s Portlandia.
Boise did once…but I think I’d rather drive a truck in Uzbekistan.
All Craigslist jobs somehow lead to North Dakota
The revolution will not be televised
It just drove right past you
