One-Thought Limited Texan

Republican Texas Sen. Dan Patrick proposes
giving any woman going to an abortion clinic $500,
to be paid no more than 30 days after the baby is born
and given up for adoption.

His proposal would violate Texas and federal laws
against buying babies, which Patrick rejected as
“typical ridiculous criticism.”

Meantime back in the real world – worldwide
there are 143 million orphans…Buuttt good ol’
white folks want newborn infants and/or
is it only war hawks realizing
they are running out of fodder? or is it fear
momma would have aborted them if she coulda?

Please! Patrick! We don’t need more adoptive babies,
we need more Christians doing the work
assigned them by their Jesus, to paraphrase,
“What you do not do for the least of them,
you do not do for me.”

Between Iraq and a Bush

Oh my Nancy Oh Pelosi
give us back our habeas
corpus. The Patriot Act
is unAmerican give us back
our shining light…
and they call it ’84…come a’Boar’d
2001 – was it not a Spaced Odd’essy?
When we let go of the pain
others have caused us
we can stop fearing to look
at the pain we caused others
Eli Bear says the bottom “level”
is the fear of dying, to which
Oh my Darling Clementine asks,
How do you explain
a suicide bomber’s
lack of fear of dying?

We are all Americans when it comes to
peace and war and democratic republics.
Will we be the shining Lighthouse on the hill,
giving hope to the oppressed or will we fall?

The whole world is watching…

Elizabeth Edwards, A Shame To Cry Over

to find a lump on her breast
and not let her husband know
or do anything about it
until his presidential campaign
was over
to late for surgery
how did it get into any female human brain
to play roulette with their own life so as
not to jeopardize a husband’s ambition?

May we all hang our heads and cry
over the shame of the Western mind’s obsession
with human female mammary glands
that motivates young and not so young women
to submit to a surgical knife
for bigger and bouncier breasts
which only attracts
grownup baby boys
orally fixated.

The Slow Bleed Is of the US Treasury

or, how to take down a country that values
money over human hearts
they will spend themselves into slavery
until they are owned by the slaves
call it their Money God who leads them
“the only way up Jacob’s ladder is down”
the more America spends itself to death
the more Osama bin Laden wins.
Call Osama Satan if you will, whose
original definition was Protagonist,
or call him a personified devil
who tempts Bush with undreamed of power,
or take the Pentagon that assures him
they can take out any person or nation
he so wishes.
The fear mongers cry,
“Wake Up America and never forget
9/11
The peace chanters chant,
“Wake Up America! Man or mouse,
you are blindly following a Pied Piper
fluting the ditty “fly and buy”
and the cliff is fast approaching,
Wake Up America,
and remember the meaning of
911.

Iraq is not a civil war it is a War of Revenge
It started as a War of Revenge for Bush
Now it is a War of Revenge on the Iraqi Sunni.

Divine Is A Verb, Who’s Nature Is Love

O Spring
hopes eternal

Barak Obama: “Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people.”
Ed Koch prefers his readers to believe they brought it on themselves
by opposing the carving out of Israel from Palestinian land, since 1948.

Even if Koch believes “they brought it on themselves”
it does not negate Barak Obama’s statement, as in,
the Palestinians have more death and suffering than the Israelis.

It’s still Springtime in the Rockies
Thumper seys No
the public will not be distracted from the war in Iraq
all Bush minor-Gates only polish the looking glass
into all the illegal activity of the current US government
that have committed this most vile of crimes:
mass killings perpetrated with lies

O Spring
some flowers will freeze to death before fruiting
and some will not
some songbirds will be eaten by cats
but others will continue their song.

Cold Conservatives vs Light Liberals

Valerie Plame vs Ann Colter
intelligent / pithy
poised / strutting
fame / notorious
sensual / c. teaser
Johnny goes marching off to war hurrah / Barf!
It’s Springtime / Marching off to war.
sunflower / prickle pear
maple syrup / sap

Come’on Annie your mother really would not have
aborted you if abortion was legal back then and
not to worry, lesbians are not attracted to c. teasers.

Thank you Valerie for thinking out of the box
of authority figures who do not walk their talk.

Anna Nicole Was Their Cash Cow

see all the little cling ons grasping
for remnants of Anna’s notoriety
money is not the root of all evil
people are – In November 2001,
Israeli arms dealers illegally shipped
3,000 AK-47 assault rifles and 2.5 million
rounds of ammunition into Colombia
for the AUC through a port facility
operated by Chiquita subsidiary Banadex.
One C-SPAN caller tuned in to hear Valerie Plame,
under oath, tell the truth and just as quickly
tuned out…
“Be wary” he cautioned, “when faced with truth,
the reaction thereof, is unpredictable.”
All the pea brain people fear most
split-pea soup.
How do I stop we stop the bleeding Mother?
You’re Chiquita Banana and you’ve come to say what?
“Yes I got no bananas”
when the west gets too many bananas
they dump them in the ocean
sweat and blood being so cheap
and the caged bird sings…

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s Confession True?

why did he wait for years to the month?
arrested March 2003 : confessed March 2007
how long ago was this confession
made before releasing it?
it does not matter Bill O’Reilly
if Khalid was tortured by the CIA or military
the point is they both sanction torture
torturers get trained at the School of the Americas
(no matter how often it change names)

and here’s to you Michael Scheuer
blatantly presenting, “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
confessed because he’s proud of what he’s done,”
my own poser:
Why did it take 4 years for him to confess?

And no, Bill and Mike, my words are not
for support of Mr. Mohammed, of whom I know nothing
save for what the news media blasts…
it is against torture, always,
and doubly always, when what is elicited, is only
“a” confession, thus denuding the excuse of using torture
only for a known imminent threat(.)

Harriet Myers Was Only A Parrot

Axing 93 attorney generals was the goal
she thought Rove et al meant axe 93 with one blow
and said so, but no, it was axe one first,
then axe a bunch, and if the outcry is met
with talking points and overcome
the remainder will be axed
before January 2009

Cheney, while Nixon’s hip-attachment,
witnessed the downfall of Nixon after he declared
“In the time of crisis the power of the president is total”
and to Cheney, he cares not of Bush’s downfall,
it is the usual method of an Emperor’s rise to the top.

How seething does it have to get on top
before the top blows off?

Check and Balance In Wartime

The president has his veto power
the congress, most important in times of war,
has their power of the purse

And the power of money, Murdock has,
is to set his echoing dogs to attack
any congressional member as
“cut and runners who don’t support our troops”
(and other talking points handed down from on high)

History warns against nation wars not supported
by the majority of its citizens but Bush doesn’t know
history and Cheney does not heed it

So here we go again
congressmen parsing their words
dragging out this war for time to find an out
by claiming some measure of victory
but this time there is determination
NEVER to get out, well, and unless
the money power behind the president
secures another puppet government
perhaps another Butcher of Baghdad

The question is not, this time, who will we ask
to be the last to die in Iraq, a larger question is why
we hire security contractors for our military.

Or a better question, when did the US ever
remove it’s military bases after declaring victory?
