Confused Reign
Sun shining on old ferries
Confuses the rain.
The reign of old ferries
Shines on the confused.
Shining on the confused
Is no way to reign.
But it does pay better
than Taco Bell.
And Mermaids Aren’t Real
Remember, remember the 5th of July!
Or don’t.
It doesn’t really matter.
If you find yourself reading this with all of your fingers, toes, and ears intact…congratulations! You’ve survived another Homelandian Holiday!
In related news, way too many employed white guys in Virgina, Maryland, the Seattle Fusion Center, and a couple of safe houses in the Balkans…are also reading this.
Why? It’s not so much about my over-inflated sense of self-important readership issues. It’s more about my use of the words JPRA West, Fukushima and my never-ending misplacement, of, commas.
I guess no one ever said that Grammar Nazis lived near reality. Although, reality is rumored to look a lot like Spring Street and 3rd.
Fukushima! Still spewing! Employed white guys, still reading! And now, thanks to a parliamentary panel, Amnesty International, Poynter and NOAA – we know that everything ever written here, about almost anything…makes reality much worse than even George Carlin thought it was.
See Spring Street and 3rd in Seattle for more.
Yes Fukushima was man-made. Sure Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Guantanamo are to feminism…as Andrew Dice Clay was to his personal usage of a Ms. Magazine.
Obviously it’s possible that I’m being too harsh on us. But when judging by what most of us think happened, or didn’t happen with the pretend Death Panels…the fact that NOAA felt the need to let us know that mermaids have never, I repeat – NEVER actually existed, pretty much sealed the deal for me. We’re screwn.
Remember, remember the 5th of July!
Or don’t.
It doesn’t really matter.
There’s blood in the streets…
“Freedom Isn’t Free”
A guest post and haiku for today…the day after the 3rd of July. My thanks to Karma Tenzing Wangchuk. Be Vigilant…
———————————————————
The Fourth of July brings out the usual propagandistic nonsense about how “our” military defends freedom, when the military might of this nation is in fact directed toward making the top one-percent richer and rendering the rest of us slaves, killers, cadavers, apologists for imperialism, fascism and murder, victims ourselves who often, by one or another form of complicity, help make this country the chief terrorist nation on earth.

Profitable Skins
When it rains near Wenatchee in late June
las cerezas will expand
splitting their profitable skins.
Labor shortages in agriculture
Border Patrol and the Geo Group
splitting their profitable skins.
Air cannons in the orchard – keep terrorist birds away
drone lobbyists in the halls of Congress – birds of Northrop soaring
splitting their profitable skins.
Quoth the Concrete
Starting posts with quotes from long dead poets, Stephen Colbert, or Julia Child, gives the impression that we’re well-read, or at the very least, fairly well-fed. For all the awesome quotes we are able to start our posts with…none of them will pour a Mt. Rainier-sized mound of concrete…on any of GE’s reactors that are currently spewing increased health care expenditures from Fukushima.
Demolition of the three reactors as well as the plant’s number 4 unit is expected to take 40 years and will need the use of new technologies – Agenes France-Presse
Well that was a fun, yet concrete pouring-free quote.
If like me, you’re wondering where all of the cancer comes from, but you just can’t get passed the trouble with either Wounded Knee…it’s probably better if we just focus on the President’s incredible win with healthscare today. For tomorrow, the Bush Recession will still not be called the Obama Depression.
President Carter, the most liberal-like Democratic president ever…wrote a stinging little critique of the Homeland and her insanity the other day – and most of the poet-quoters ignored it.
The Ted Nugent-quoters have always hated Jimmy, but since President Carter is calling attention to how much Obama’s Bush wars, closely resemble Bush’s Bush wars…focusing on the president’s skin color and his mysterious Hawaiian birth, is about as deep as their gene pool is willing to go.
When a billionaire coffee pusher questions the promise of the Homeland today, I can’t for the life of me – help myself…
“The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.” – Noam Chomsky
If only Noam had a Mt. Rainier-sized mound of concrete to spare, I’d sure feel better about myself.
Health is Scary, Canada Braces for War
If it’s not gay humans wanting to marry…then it’s progressive gifts to insurance companies – passed off as victory!
Because the Afghan surge worked.
Again.

Or you’ll soon run out of room
Such a mess the Homeland is. But as they like to say in the Gamma Quadrant: “What in the mekkin turg does Ralph Nader have to do?”
Indeed, my far superior friends…indeed.
Space is the place where intelligent life goes to sleep with a coherent idea. Canada is the place where Homelandians go – when either a Teabagger starts illegal wars…or a Nobel Peace Prize winner does too. Toss in a gift to corporate health insurers and bam! No one remembers Guantanamo.

Or you’ll soon run out of room
If you check recent history, you’ll find that some semi-awake humans dared to compare CNN News with that of Fox News. The wars are all still killing and profiting, but a gift for corporate health has now made CNN the enemy. Iraq, Judith Miller, and Lockheed Martin – thank you for playing along.
The Gamma Quadrant asks about Ralph Nader –
Canada’s going to run out of room .
As the sea ice keeps melting, JPMorgan and the Pentagon
are allowed to lose billions.
ExxonMobil says don’t worry, we’ll adapt. But it will cost you.
Healthscare was scary – good thing liquor is healthier
than marijuana.

Graveyards of Empire
Your privacy would be violated if we confirmed that we’re spying on you – NSA’s AT&T
Backhanded protections of our empire…are usually followed by Grover Norquist – not wanting to talk about who it is that pays Grover, to not want to talk about it.
It’s like a tax. Or something.
As things go in the Homeland, when a Norquist tax is exposed, some sort of news will escape about how a pandemic…may have been much worse than previously admitted.
Think Swine Flu for the pandemic – then thank Grover for the tax.
When pandemics, Norquist taxes, and the NSA’s AT&T attack us, you can be sure that something especially stupid this way comes…
McDonald’s uniforms of the Homeland are not good enough for England. They require a fancier attire…when eating foodstuffs that will kill them. Thus proving my assertion, that no amount of stupid placed between two Monsanto flavored buns, will keep an Englishman from enjoying the stupid – when ‘their way it comes too either’?
First they ignore you by not confirming they’re spying on you, then they laugh at you with a Norquist tax, then they fight you with unknown amounts of stupid – placed between two Monsanto flavored buns…and then you lose your dental care.
…what with all the diabetes, tobacco and al Qaeda, I’m certain that there ain’t no grave gonna keep us down.
Graveyards of Empire…Gandhi probably would have said it all better.
