Abadi Abadi Abadi Aba…Learnin Is Are Is Tuff!
Education! We can’t fund it, we don’t want it and besides…we learn ‘all we needs‘ to ‘nose‘ from Disney made humans like Britney and Miley.
Educated humans and Homelands do not a Homeland make. So you get what we had here last week…which is the way we want it.
Well, we gets it!
Educating, healthcare and sometimes feeding people is expensive. This is why we spend over 20 billion dollars per year to air condition the troops in Iraq and Vietghanistan. The cost of air conditioning the troops in Yemen, Somalia, Mexico, Libya and Port Angeles was not disclosed…due to national security. But we will search 95-year-old cancer patients in diapers and those 5-year-old children who are trapped at the airport for…terror!…within view of at least two Starbucks.
Prisons, endless war, pretend clean energy and genetically modified everything are where it’s at.
For the rest of us, there used to be Festivus…now we can only hope that the dams don’t breach – and pray that our own Fukushima’s only kill Homelandians to the east…and or down river from us.
I learned stuff in school. How about Yoo?

No GE Rain
Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, ‘Why, why, why?’ Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand. — Kurt Vonnegut from Cat’s Cradle
Dear GE, please shove your Fukushima rain up George C. Zoley’s ass and then as it drains, why not require a Baldwin brother of your choosing to drink it?
Who is George Zoley and why should GE make a Baldwin brother drink radioactive ass water? If I were you, I’d ask the GEO Group or Janet Napolitano. 
Just maybe and possibly perhaps…we should have listened to Jacque Cousteau and then rolled out with Team Zissou.
Be it Vonnegut, Zissou, Baldwin, Al Roker or the even the great Jacque Cousteau…all of them have given us much. Except for Al fuckin Roker. Yeah…not so much.
GE’s Fukushima rains were already mixed with the Housatonic, the Hudson and the Hanford shrub-steppe plain…long before and after, man got to tell himself he understand.
I guess all we can do is boil some tea for two…and maybe I’ll even speak my point of view. But be forewarned, it’s not sane.

The Nadler/Fonda Action of No Impeachment
Rep. Jerrold Nadler is just like Rep. Norm Dicks. They’re both Democrats who failed to impeach a war criminal…and now the words ‘absolute monarch‘ on war powers, have been uttered in public.
“But I really don’t mean Obama, as much as I mean Bush. Or something. Because we think you’re all stupid.” The preceding was a Nadler inner voice quote…brought to you by HBGarry Federal and the dorks at
the NSA.
Your endless wars, Homeland Security and the end of the middle class, were also brought to you by Nadler and Dicks…but we’ve been pretty busy not working in agriculture and hunting Mexicans to really give a shit. 
It was Charlie Wilson who once almost said to Rep. Dicks: sure the mujaheddin are cult following idiots, whom we’ll soon be calling the Taliban. But the private prison corporations are coming…they’ll be needing bodies and Boeing will be running the nation…so just give me the money.
And the rest, as Robert Gates likes to say, is the history that we made up for Lockheed Martin.
For more on any of this…try watching any show on MTV or the
Discovery Channel.
War is Over If Yoo Wants it Too
As the President made it abundantly clear this evening, words have a way of saying one thing…while in super secret reality, those very same words are actually blowing up children in Pakistan and Yemen, because we are not at war with Libya.
Which puts me in the unenviable position of agreeing with Sarah Palin. That being of course, that words suck and they should mean whatever the hell we think they mean…just like they do when we speak them in our mind voices and or out loud to the gathered “journalism professionals.”
I’m sure that MoveOn.org is sporting major Boehner Weiner Norm Dicks wood over the President’s brave stance on peace. However, since neither Boeing, John Yoo, or even Lockheed Martin have suddenly diversified into educating, feeding or God forbid actually helping humans…
I guess compassion pays nowhere near as well as our old friend genocide does.
I think what Sarah, myself and most of tonight’s Obama teevee watchers probably missed, was that eerie moment, when the better Bush, became the better Nixon — promising to end the unpopular war and rebuild the Homeland…right before an election.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before.
The sun shines. People forget.

Cage Match for Change
If Darwin had been The Macho Man and Jesus were the Iron Sheik, I’m pretty sure everything would be just as it is today.
Quite the indictment on those who’ve been in charge of the world the last 1000 years or so…no?
So I guess the lesson here is…go ahead and eat more Slim Jim’s, because in the above scenario, Vince McMahon and Mean Jean Okerlund would be way to involved in pretty much everything.
In other news…my laptop is indeed dead, so I’ll be posting with pen and paper and or osmosis for the time being.
Be Vigilant.
Worldwide Sherman Alexie Day
Due to places like Richland, Washington, where the water just might kill you faster than the air…we get yet another Worldwide
Sherman Alexie day!
Over at the Slog, they’ve stumbled upon Sherman’s brilliant marketing strategy: ‘submit book to racist, backwoods school district that fears sex, Indians and books. Then collect awards, money and make fun of them in subsequent interviews.’
And to think, I’m going to have to mention, yet again, my successful career at swatting away Alexie lay-ups at the now demolished Spokane YMCA. My Alexie lay-up swatting career lasted all of maybe three times. Sherman’s lay-uping career at various YMCA’s and athletic clubs across the globe? Still quite alive. And from what I can gather, he grasps the concept of grammarin’…a whole lot better than I do.
See above Slog link for more. Or check the Lens’ coverage of all things Alexie book banning here, here’s another and yes, there’s another one right here.
Oh look, they’re are one, two, three, maybe even four more…
That’s quite the collection of Sherman Alexie posts, no? I’m no fanatic, I’m just clinging to those three blocked lay ups and an early 1990’s drunken binge at Fort Spokane Brewery…where I think I told the same story and fucked with the skinny security guys across the street at a Black Crowes concert.
And that’s all I’m going to admit to at this time.

GE’s Fukushima Balloons
Just another friendly reminder to the lost minds of the Homeland…Japan is quite a long ways away!
Chances are slim, facts are few and I’m pretty sure that there’s just no way, any of the death inducing nastiness from GE’s, ‘melted reactors of Fukushima’…could ever reach us here in the Homeland. Maybe even longer than never.
Like most Homelandians, I require proof of trouble before I make anything resembling a decision. By the time proof of trouble has been certified for me by at least 7 corporate newspapers, 3 network teevee news pushers, a neighbor, a pastor and my world traveling, very well informed 32 year-old trustafarian barista…I no longer remember and or give a shit about what it was that I was possibly, not really that concerned about to begin with.
Besides, even if there were winds that blew from Japan to the Homeland, it’s not like Japan could send balloons with bombs attached to them…and drop them on us unsuspecting Homelandians, as we go about our very uncomplicated and war-free lives.
I mean come on. Enough with the conspiracies, theories and lies. Nuclear power is completely safe, foolproof and as wholesome as a Border Patrol agent in Port Angeles. Because terrorist’s speak Spanish, not Pashto. Which is lucky for us…because Border Patrol agents don’t speak Pashto either.
In summation…Mexico’s tall ship Cuauhtemoc floats, while Obama’s hope floats about as well as GE’s Fukushima balloons.
