Jalapeno Peppers

16 days and counting up
silent the guns of war
between Israel and Lebanon
loud the hawks of fear
Freedom Fries re-morph
into French Fries by
any other name - the same
we are all birds in the feather
Peace, like Love,
is a verb not a noun
chiseled stones do not reflect rock
ties do not reflect a soul*
got bums? throw ‘em out

72 days and counting
expect contradiction
We are Safer,
Be Very Afraid

War of Words
better than
War of Worlds
Civilizations
“Too serious
to be laughed at”
probably
“too dangerous to be.”
Imagine
becoming
the best of both
Opinions turned to stone
is where the stoning began
flip-flopping the only road
to awakening of consciousness.
Got consciousness?
Get more!
Consciousness is a process
not an end-all
until the end.
Want End? Why?
What is so set in stone that
death is preferred over a flip-flop
of a cherished opinion?
How is […]

“When I was a child, liberal Democrats saw the filibuster
as antidemocratic and reactionary.”
(When I was a child, Americans learned the high value of a
filibuster from the movie “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”)
“But the fact is that Moynihan and Bolton were cut
from the same cloth….”
(But Bolton is no Moynihan - Moynihan warned us of the impact

why expect negotiation:
Shi’ite and Sunni?
Catholics with Protestants?
Jews with Orthodox Jews?
three monotheistic religions
unable to agree
who’s righter than right
who keeps stirring the hornet’s nest
in the seeking Supreme Power
over all the earth
why are we all acting like
that first temptation was not resisted?
the king of the hill
one-up-man’s
we’re number one
dungeons and dragons

nobody let go!
everybody hang on!
new and ancient vendettas
refusing grief and grieving
refusing forgiveness
they will not be forgiven
no body let go!
no body give in!
old wars fought
with growing vengeance
“Vengeance is mine,”
sayeth the Lord.
2006: how many Lords
extracting vengeance?
(after all, did He not
make man in His image?)
Little Gods aka Little Hitlers
2006: how many Swords in Damasks
how many “surgical strikers”?

217 million US of A cell phones?
chatter is the measure of the level
of the masses effected by media reporting?
“The” original “sin” was the first question
of any authority figure
from wonder & awe to shock & awe

the best brainwashing can buy you
a distraction blowback
well hell’s bells noone sings
it stole half of the soundbites
from half the spinwigs
the other halfass saving faces…

911 operators fired
gonna need more than a toothbrush
to clean up this sewer.

“Both Babylon and Rome were great powers in their day,
but somehow they’re no longer with us. Israel is.”
What’s wrong with this sentence? Answer: It is the Empires
that are gone, unless maybe Italy kicked the habit and slid
into the Mediterranean Sea - and, Israel can not say it “is”
until it stops expansion.
“… Jewish presence in Europe?….Why, […]

“The Israel Project…made a former leading imam and
radical Islam expert…..He goes by the name of Sam
Soloman because of death threats from those not happy
with the information he has about their plans to
dominate the world.”
(Therefore be very afraid - take no heed of the 700+
US military bases around the world today in some
140 different countries.)
“Islam means […]

“Prime Minister Ehud Olmert “must go.”…along with
calls to convene a commission of inquiry to investigate
why Israel did not have more success in stopping the
rain of terrorist rockets.”
(Do the math. Hezabollah rained down 4,000 rockets
and killed fewer people than Israel’s ’surgical strikes’.
If one side kills 100 people and the other side kills 1,000
people who is […]

he said let them be very afraid
see them scurry for security
once upon a time the hordes believed
Republicans can do it better
the hordes have become the minority again
time to beef up fear
kamikaze pilots without wings
rebels with a cause
60 years form boil to burst
was it 9/11 knowingly calling 911
or was it the 60th anniversary

Cindy Sheehan goes to the hospital
from not eating for 24 days now while
15,000 children starved to death
in the last 24 hours
how will
we ever get home?
when will we ever listen
to our own heart when we speak
when will we ever look
at what we refuse to see
before our very own eyes?
we’re lucky this time ladies
and sick folks needing […]

Caroline B. Glick
of The Jewish World Review writes:
The truth may hurt
(in her first 9 paragraphs she uses the
following “trigger words”)
terror attack / terrorist conspiracy / unspeakable atrocity
path of terror / Using terror / jihad / global jihad
nuclear weapons / jihad picking / leftist radicalism
appeasement / hated / jihad / dangers of jihad

stop with the war drum beat background
for news reports et al analysis
give us some lowdown New Orleans blues
and visuals of the Real heroes
Israeli families sharing their homes
with the Northern Israelis displaced
Southern Lebanon families sharing their homes
with their displaced, wounded and hungry
more pictures of the heroic acts
of humanitarian aid workers
if Connecticut Republicans vote for Lamont
will that […]

the tortured truth
of saying whatever is wanted to be heard
it serves PR purpose to create a confession
connecting Iran and Syria to Hezabollah
the “war on terrorism” misses the boat
of terrorism from the sky
eleven 20 yr old Egyptian men gone missing
are they captured hostages of terrorists
all the King’s men or disinfected slaves?
who the torturer making the mistake
of […]

who else do we think?
Palestinian refugees
displaced in Lebanon
it is all about borders
water and justice
What has Israel given up
in giving up Gaza when all
of Gaza’s borders are still
controlled by Israel?
Anderson 360 reports
Israeli soldiers want to live
Hezabollahs want to die.
Wrong. Hezabollah fighters
do not want to die but death
is better than occupation.
Anderson observes
the greatest obstacle
to ending this bloody […]

do unto others
did we expect less
than they would do unto us?
Jesus
Christ
where
are your “followers” now?
Washington Journal’s caller:
“Just Nuke Lebanon”
on this 61st anniversary day
of the first atomic slaughter
Never mind, Jesus,
the followers are all weeping
the pseudo-Christians are all
frenzied in their anger could
it be their exposed guilt
in deadly denial?
any G - - worth salt would demand
His “chosen people” the […]

“Radiation, heat, blast and their
synergetic effects created a hell on Earth,”
said Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba
“Cities and citizens of the world have a duty
to release the lost sheep from the spell and
liberate the world from nuclear weapons,”
Akiba said as the cries of cicadas filled the air.
