George Bush and Human Sacrifice

today is the day the war machine has their picnic
it is the day King George calls for sacrifice
the penguins clap and chant “Oh yes, oh yes,
we can do that!” And in a cartoon
think bubble they say, “Sacrifice is
tossing the dime into the beggar’s cup.”

human sacrifice
pastoralize poverty
proud and dumb

but the children are educated Georgie Porgie
they smell the stench of give-away-pork
they understand the education given them
which promises more money with higher taxes
which feeds the beast of corruption
which turn their backs
to perpetual war…the ultimate dream
of run-away capitalism
these children of W’s darkness
taught themselves
“AIN’T GONNA STUDY WAR NO MORE!!!”

George Bush and Human sacrifice:

“We will send in 20,000 more troops!”

Katy Hogwash, Texas Style

A man unhappy (Craig Baker, 46)
with an Islamic association’s plans
to build a mosque next to his property
has staged pig races as a protest
during afternoon prayers.
Resident Susan Canavespe
said the pig racing wasn’t mean-spirited —
“It’s just Texas-spirited.”

“Houston, we have a problem!”

The Karankawa Indian tribes want to know,
“Where are the great herds of buffalo,
where the flocks of wild ducks, geese,
sandhill and whooping cranes, and the
longhorn cattle, deer, and wolves?”

What is the difference between
“mean-spirited” and “Texas-spirited”?

NONE! (if your name is Susan Canavespe or Craig Baker
and/or the other 100 pig-people that joined them)

Gerald Ford and James Brown

two more actors leave the stage
on their way to somewhere else James sings
“How are things in East Timor Ford?”

Who’s in Tiananmen Square now?
But Peter! Gerald did allow our American children
to come home from Canada.
Yeah and then he tried to impeach
Judge William O. Douglas
and the jury is still out whether Ford made a deal
to pardon Nixon if Nixon would step down…

The actors have left the stage
but the curtain stays open
enters many bio scribes
May we have his story fully
Who dies on Christmas Day
in the international information highway
Did President Ford “heal the nation”?
will 2007 be
The Year of the Unfolding?

Diamonds are NOT A Girl’s Best Friend

perhaps you are right Ollie
some able bodies do cheat welfare
but how does that compare
to zillions of deaths and slaves
fighting perpetual wars decided
by the Privileged Class?

but no, Charlie,
their are no perpetual wars
seein’ as how greed has no limits
all wanna be Empires run out of gas
er, that is, Money,
eventually…you see…
even when they know they can not win
see how they continue to war?
They know not else but “Stay the course.”

How long will they play Vietnam in Iraq?
In their World War I the ratio
of civilian deaths to soldiers deaths was
10 soldiers to 1 civilian
In their World War II the ration
of civilian deaths to soldiers was 50/ 50
today it is 80% civilians to 20% soldiers
and they call it collateral damage
to sound more “humane”.

Oh Ollie
see the man in the fashionable suited tie?
He does not look happy
but he does look proud he made all his money
in stock market investments.
Is he proud of not doing slave labor?
Did he save a life today, or any other
random act of kindness?
Did it wash the blood from his diamond hands?

Diamonds dripping with blood
are NOT a girls best friend Marilyn
I’m sorry they made you sing that
I’m sorry they could not let you live
but that’s the way it is for those who worship
the Money God.

“What is the exact number of US troops you are willing to see die in Iraq?”

William Boettcher and Michael Cobb,
of the Washington Post, ask in a poll
with their findings finding 500 deaths the mean number
of acceptable troop deaths. This twosome did not reveal
the highest number. They did reveal there were zeros,
but not how many.

While their methods may have been commendable
their conclusion was a lie:

“When the US military stormed into Baghdad,
public opinion was solidly behind the war.”

Shake ’em and wake ’em I say!

It was the first time in American history
of an anti-war movement BEFORE
the first bomb was dropped BEFORE
the first life was lost (theirs or ours)
AND the largest world wide anti-war protest
in human history.

Truthiness, That’s the Word

C-SPAN caller:

“The people that are against the war
want something for nothing…they want
the money spent on war to be spent on them.”

Begging the questions:
Who are the greatest abusers of “something for nothing”,
Ken Lay or my friend on food stamps?
(btw – why did Ken Lay have to die?)

Caller #2
married 22 years:
“The wife says choose: Rush Limbaugh or me.
I’m not going to live in a police state. I
choose Rush Limbaugh.”

You mean that Limbaugh who confessed
to being “their” watering boy?
The man who prefers “cut and run” to “retreat and regroup”?
The Rush that imports prescription drugs,
a republican made, illegal act, or
the Limb augh
addicted to prescription drugs, advocating
jail for his fellow drug abusers.

Caller #3
“No one knows how much money is spent on defense
at any given time.”
If the money was low wouldn’t they want us to know
what a bargain we get?

Einstein – “If there is a 3rd World War
the 4th will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Truthiness is just a word we needed,
created by a brave word warrior,
Stephen Colbert,
to fight word crafter spinners,
circa 1984.

And blessed be the creator, Lisa Jensen,
of a Christmas Peace Symbol Wreath.
If the world broke out Christmas morning
full of these new wreaths,
would Peace break out all over?

Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas

yeah momma
they do learn stuff after they leave home
some prophet for profit grabs ’em
from “Jesus loves me this I know”
they get “God hates gays”
oh papa
you shoulda let ’em boys grow up
to be cowboys home on the earth where
we play with the deer and antelope
God is Good let us share our food
lead us not into the temptation
of prophet for profit
the ultimate blasphemy.

See them frenzy Jane
down at the ol’ Baptist Church
Reverend stirs the brew
“toil and trouble, double”
Rev. Fred Phelps, Sr.
What did your daddy do to you?
Did he make you lie in fear
of his belt buckle?

This ain’t Kansas “Reverend”
this is Nathan Goodiron’s funeral
an American hero killed in Iraq
died for your free speech he did.

Ah Dick,
free speech is how we learn
who the REAL terrorists are:(

Dear friends who care about our earth.

Judge for yourself if you want to take action. In the Valle de San Felix,
the purest water in Chile runs from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers. Water is a
most precious resource, and wars will be fought for it.

Indigenous farmers use the water, there is no unemployment, and they provide
the second largest source of income for the area. Under the glaciers has
been found a huge deposit of gold, silver and other minerals. To get at
these, it would be necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers – something never
conceived of in the history of the world – and to make 2 huge holes, each as big
as a whole mountain, one for extraction and one for the mine’s rubbish tip.

The project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is called Barrick Gold. The
operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of whose members is
George Bush Senior (what a surprise eh? ). The Chilean Government has
approved the project to start this year, 2006. The only reason it hasn’t
started yet is because the farmers have got a temporary stay of execution.

If they destroy the glaciers, they will not just destroy the source of
specially pure water, but they will permanently contaminate the2 rivers so
they will never again be fit for human or animal consumption because of the
use of cyanide and sulfuric acid in the extraction process. Every last gram
of gold will go abroad to the multinational company and not one will be left
with the people whose land it is. They will only be left with the poisoned water
and the resulting illnesses.

The farmers have been fighting a long time for their land, but have been
forbidden to make a TV appeal by a ban from the Ministry of the Interior.
Their only hope now of putting brakes on this project is to get help from
international justice. The world must know what is happening in Chile.

Osama tells us why

homophilic antigen

of an antibody nuclear bomb
cells exploding malignant cancer
eating psychic pain is personal
shame is universal
a soldier murders his own child
a mother drowns her own children
a child murders his classmates
a president proclaims,
“Bring it on!”
in the beginning was the word
and we are as responsible for our words
as we are for our weapons
and have been promised
“What we do unto others
will be done unto us.”
