Bush has charisma as a cowboy
but Dick controls his brain
Where are the exploited and missing children?
Answer: in Iraq.
Dick Brain Cheney still pushing lies
but the dots don’t line up to
Hezbollah is al Qaeda
And what were the penguins doing last night?
George inadvertently protruded his tongue 124 times
while speaking but Cheney and Pelosi
could only purse their lips and lick
the inside of their mouths to keep from choking
How did AIDS, with 21.8 million living victims
(with yearly deaths of 17,000)
take center stage when MALARIA
has 300 million living victims
(with yearly deaths of 1+ million)
Oh right, Americans get AIDS,
not so much malaria.
But ain’t it grand George Cheney wants to give
tax breaks for health insurance even when
40+ millions of Americans don’t have it?
President Eisenhower took us out of Korea
President Ford (pushed by congress) took us out of Vietnam
Come on George you can do it
“Out of Iraq now!”

But yet and still,
George Bush does have a brain
State of the Union 2006 he rightly accused
US of oil addiction and need to get over it
State of the Union 2007 he rightly
acknowledged Global Warming
Will it take to 2008 for Bush’s brain
to reach the same conclusion
as Jimmy Carter did more than 3 decades ago?

Double US “oil reserve”
Who does that profit? Oil investors!
Alternative energy? STOP
calling it “renewable”
even the soil gets tired…sometimes corny

Ol Sol and his merry ol’ soul keeps a’shining
Uncle River keeps on flowin…
“It’s the End of the World,” sings REM
and adds the caveat:
“As we know it!”

Here we are at Bush Eve of State of the Union Message
tomorrow when he will tell us “Big things are possible.”
Big what Mr.? Big jobs that take both parents working
to support their family? Or big like oil prices dropping
and he’s ready to feed our oil addiction?

Or big news on CNN on the Eve of Bush State:

Al-Zawahiri – “If we are killed you will be killed.”
FBI officials said Monday that U.S. forces found documents
at least SIX months ago indicating al Qaeda in Iraq has
aspirations to attack on U.S. soil.

fEAR Fear, pour on oil, pour on oil,
Bush is BurninG and this is not Scotland
What was that you said Mr. President?
“I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!”

When our Head politicians stated goal is to defend “our” way of life,
and our way of life adds up to “an addiction to oil” and
Jaime Suchlicki of Miami U sounds his trumpet:
“Rising Communist threat in Latin America”,
what is the commonality between
“Communist States” and “Rogue States”?
The answer has 3 letters – O I L.

How many journalists have been killed since 9/11?
How many have served jail time and for how long?
Our great American hero, Daniel Ellsberg, tells us
his biggest regret was the number of years he waited
and the number of additional lives lost because
he hesitated in releasing the Pentagon Papers.

What will save us from the brink of world disaster?
We the people need to become a Daniel Ellsberg,
need action (not just prayers), or as Ray McGovern cautions:
“The hottest fires of hell are saved for those who knew
and did nothing.”

“I would confess I’m no expert on Iraq.”
and, asked about the right balance between American and Iraqi forces,
he said he was “no expert on military matters.”
This, after spending 27 years in the CIA as an intelligence professional,
and nearly nine years at the National Security Council.

What is the job of a US Defense Secretary?

Concerned with the armed services and military matters,
to be the principal defense policy adviser to the President
and responsible for the formulation of general defense policy
and policy related to all matters of direct and primary concern
to the Department of Defense, and for the execution of approved policy.

Here’s some defense:
Click your heels Doctor Gates,
and repeat three times
“Take me home to Kansas!”

yer philanthropic right hand better look at
what yer investment left hand is doing
like in the Nigeria Delta Flaring
where the fumes are causing sickness
of Nigerian native or like
Ameriquest’s predatory lending
in the US Northwest to the
homeless and the poor
yer 5% tax deduction
for “charitable contributions”
loses what nobility it might have earned
when it invests in what causes
the people’s suffering…
Oil Greed and Loan Sharks, Bill Gates,
Tear down that wall!
