kilowatts therms gasoline

too much rain in California
too much fire in Oklahoma
and thirteen miners in West Virginia
this January 2006
trapped underground
July 2002 nine miners
trapped 77 hours
with the all of America
a long long time to hold our breath

how much waste & greed does it take
before we all pass out?

David Rivkin David Rivkin :(

Early in this mornings program you said
“I don’t think there has been any abuse of wiretapping.”

From as far back as J. Edgar Hoover
we know wire tapping, by our government,
has abused this power,
and spied on people with dissenting voice
including Vietnam War protesters.

My question is why your “thinking” doesn’t include
the facts of history?

Wire Taps and “Chatter”

“The fact that somebody leaked this program
causes great harm to the United States,” Bush said.
“There is an enemy out there. They read newspapers.”

May 20, 2003

“Senior U.S. officials said the chatter
suggests a significant attack inside
the United States might be in the works.”
(full story:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/05/20/terror.main/)

The “terrorists” have long known thru “senior officials”
their wires and phones and computers have been breached
now they know via “leaked…cause great harm…”
was Not to “the United States” the great harm
was to King George Bush por que
now we the people know we also too
are being spied upon via
cookies library cards et al.

What do you want from Washington this year?

Washington Journal C-SPAN 1006

first two callers of the year:
equally highly emotional
with their opposing held truths
rich man praising Bush with holy fervor
poor man bashing Bush with holy terror
a few reports of welfare fraud sets the rich man’s hair on fire
the few reports of now billionaires sets the poor man’s hair on fire
the Left and the Right’s powers held in One Disembodied Body
Thy name of this body is Corporation
Dis Embodied Corporation given equal rights of we the people
How did this happen?
ask George Orwell
failing that ask John Wheat Gibson
The information highway is near complete
with contradictory facts to sate every ideologue

Question of the morning:
What do you want from Washington this year?
Answer:
For those who who live there who took oaths
of, in de facto, service to we the people,
recall the essence of the tale
of an honest Mr. Smith who Goes To Washington,
give back the dishonorably acquired riches to the people
and take back their honor.
In plainer words:
It’s time to roast the Pork.

Ma Ha Gony Nicotine

roger peter look and see
we all become masters of survival
some more dishonest honest or druthers
be kind to yourself
in any disparagement
half is yours half is mine theirs
everyone loves a teddy bear
(be leery of proprietorship
it is only comely in little children
and they
only step on your toes,
the big children go for the heart)
“the life unexamined
is not worth living”
my beloved
Mother of the Night and Day
are your best friends
paraphernalia manipulation creation
is only loopingly plausible
little big horn is aplenty
stars are born and die
the burden onerous
our personal past is our guide to future
stations a time of down
by the old mill stream
o the joy
to awake to the smell
of heavenly bread!

John Warner John Warner

John Warner John Warner
one powerful senator
opens the senate floor
with only one senator
99 having no prior notice?
brings up a bill
asks for objections
no one objects surprise surprise
John John approves the bill
and calls the session ended.

erstwhile exes
all be passes
If one says they are taking themselves too serious
isn’t it possible they are?

Can Rice be legally forced to only show success in Iraq,
or even any picture she paints for the world,
Or is there any outside force on Ms. Rice to orate
any thing she has clear knowledge is not true?
If so – is it not more honest, if it is honest,
to decline to answer as a matter of national security,
that is of course if we have even a few honest members
of OUR national security
to whistle blow when there is blatant dishonesty?

If we win in Iraq will the Bushites sacrifices have been worth it?

That depends on what “it” is.
If winning means Iraq will be a true democracy
where Sunni rights, as a minority, will be protected,
and women get equal rights,
and the Saddam trial is seen by the world
as a fair and equal judicial system,
that would be a world of good.
But
if “it” is
what worth, in other words
how much of our American democratic principles did we sacrifice
9/11 did strike fear into the hearts of Americans
a national 911 call so to say
and how many lying lies have we the people been told
to increase that fear as if
the 45 minutes to a real mushroom cloud was not enough fear
then that fear was proved falsified intelligent information
to the biggest lethal crooks in the world today are those who falsify “facts”
how trite and false the sound of “as a matter of fact” as if
calling something a fact makes it a fact
“Sloganeering from the Right and the Left does not enhance any debate”

How is Israel like America today?
Both are in a quagmire,
otherwise known as a stalemate.
Both leaders of these countries still believe
if they “just stay the course” they will win.
How long, O America, O Jerusalem,
is it 58 years now?
It is not Bolivians fault Americans want Cocaine
instead of the medicinal benefits of Coca.
The best of America is Beautiful
but she is no longer a teenager
one might say, middle age, the question is
will she still represent liberty in old age?

Sax by Cham bliss R. Georgia

here they come
shield to shield
arms at ready
a one body almighty force
moving down the people’s street
the people sit down a massive lake
one gigantic mirror
reflecting the warriors
steeled in iron, eyes masked
but not covered
will they now strike
downward like a wayward god
no
they don’t like seeing the blood too much
modern enforcers now only inflicting pain
pepper spray, mace, phosphorus
chemicals of mass pain and destruction
the final score:
once seen, the lake of humanity is
deny it mr. warrior the cost is loss of sanity
reality never did exist in technology
cameras and instant text
i.e. American Inventors is a big reality hoax
hoax no joke
this very moment Saxby Chambliss R – Georgia
member Armed Service Committed
“These are not Sunday school teachers”
those of where and when they will attack America
fear double fear ya
how will we ever discern the truth
when perpetual war is your very own personal job security
“I wish the debate would focus on American security”

Oka-dokally
Recite for us your record of success.
Admit how most Americans do not feel safer,
especially with the quagmire in Iraq.
Admit we are becoming that which Bushites call evil.

Our Lady Liberty is on her knees
more than half of we the people
demand our leaders follow Geneva Convention’s International Laws
never again means never again

Homoo Sapiens

he took us where he knew we never wanted to go
the 911 trick with mushroom clouds
gave us George Tenet’s split tongue
told the left his “hair was on fire” with urgency re Al Qaeda
and on the right “it’s a slam dunk” re intelligence
rights who hate life screamed
“bomb ’em to kingdom come!”
o little bud how come you never opened?
our Cowboy learns a tad little
of going forth without pride but
ok yeah right won somewhat
we all do not need to be told we are there
what is is
show your back packers you do believe
whomsoever the designer
life is intelligent we are it is true
homo sapiens and only a tad
of understanding a foreign language
or as our parents once were wont to say
“look it up in the dictionary”
the downfall of automatic spell checkers is
there is no contact with the definition
Francis de Budah asks
“For whom do you write?”
myself, my family, my extended family, my neighbors
and life
which is love
which would never never be heard saying
“bomb ’em to kingdom come”
most on the right would not either
it is their fringes that are dangerous
as is equally the fringes on the left
follow the money
fringes that live like billionaires are
what got us from there to here
now is a good time to fly a true democracy
we the people do have power over our elected officials
greed’s temptation trickles all the way down from the top
elected officials DO pay attention to polls
denying attention when they do not like the numbers
and citing them when they do
we are more united than they allow us to believe
we homos who became sapiens need not leave behind the flower’s bloom
it is the war tenor in the voice that sounds more like fear unchecked
the ring of panic would displace the tinkling sacramental bell
when called to speak we can speak with civility
there is no other way to have an honest debate
evolution, if intelligent, would choose intelligent leaders
the devil himself/herself is/can be most charismatic

US and Torture

Where are the schools
and who teachers
of torture technicians
or do we make it up
as we go along
adjusting till we hear
a tortured animal scream
from a human being
No torture
means no exception.
Why is there ANY debate
in the US senate
Mr. Chenney
taking unto himself absolute power
will the house of the people
allow this Dick to be
corrupt absolutely?
