There are a number of disturbing aspects of H. Res. 867, with implications that go well beyond simply attacking the report of the United Nations Human Rights Council’s fact-finding commission on the Gaza conflict, which documented war crimes by armed forces of both Hamas and Israel. Below is an analysis of some of the […]

this morning caller to C-SPAN
from middle Pennsylvania
explains the nail
being hit on the head of Obama
“he promised changed
and was expected, once elected,
to wave a wand”
and all the people will be happy
and we would return to
the state of the nation in 2000
kinda like this millennium had only just begun
alas and oh me-my
Here we have Madoff greed
There we […]

what do we get when we get a Connecticut Yankee?
(not just any Yankee anyhow)
such a little state
to be the capitol of Insurance
TWO MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS
from insurance companies!
that’s one way to stay in power Joe
the ultimate flip-flopper
for universal health care while campaigning
against it when it’s possible
Go blow, Joe,
go blow!

date line: Palm Beach, Florida
place: Washington Journal, C-SPAN
speaker: retired, happier than a lark,
“…even get free vitamins with my HMO”
his conclusion:
“Don’t change health care.”
the caller failed to report
if he had lint in his navel.

when windows look like black holes
skip to mah loo mah darlin’.
Heartbreak Hotel open 24/7
between the here and the now
the heart finds its own…while
heart still open to the all of life
finds balance learnin’
what to keep what to throw away
life is a card we deal our own
which way to choose

every birth’s a little martyr
as death follows life
life follows death
and we’re talkin’
death of a planet
namely this one
some call it earth some call it Gaia
no matter the call it
we know it dying
how soon
how long
how many hows does it take
to turn around and attend
our own
martyrs
choosing life is accepting death
another dream added to
our collective dream…
do we still have […]

how is that blasphemous?
or even swearing?
it’s firstly recognizing a higher power
and voicing a complaint
in the strongest of terms
of the strongest of feelings
in regard to “that”.
war. Scott Ritter
in “Waging Peace”
would expand the meaning
of this word beyond “the waging of armed conflict against an enemy”
to
war: “a concerted campaign to end something that is injurious”
now is a good […]

if a writer writes what people want to read
the writer will be wealthy and live eloquently
yeah it’s what Tolstoi did
but he didn’t wait until after he wrote 29 novels
to write what needed to be said
and
if offered to ride a racing camel you
do not need to feel ashamed to say no
and
if you sing through your nose…

an open cart load of children
were being hauled home at sundown
after working from sun up till now
on trinkets for American consumers
so tired they couldn’t wake up for their one meal
of the day
while i was only waking from a night mare
about their day mare

atomic bombs?
or would we be hordes of Huns?
could we have don it differently?

what change are we willing to do next?
can we look at life from both sides now?
inside out and outside in.
If half the world stopped beating […]

and not have my bull by the horns
fortunate for me he kinda melted into the ethers
for a few days now and fortunate
he left a return date
and durn it!

i could tell you i got close
to loving every creature that ever lived
cause there were still threads of fears
having jumped off so many cliffs
where i didn’t even know there was one
and i still blurted when i shoulda maybe just burped
like a baby who sucked too much air
there was one who took my hand and
to demonstrate […]
