BLESS THE COWS

Sunlight on a Martian crater.
What an amazing picture!
And how about the hole in the sun that shows a black, starry universe!
Meanwhile, here on earth we have wildfires and wars, celebrity pregnancies and marriages.
Life goes on.
Cows keep chewing their cuds and giving us their precious milk.
O.K. And their red meat.
Bless the cows!
Bless the chickens!
Bless the fish!
Bless the sunlight on a Martian crater!

RETURN HOME

Iraq is a bee hive and America is getting stung.
The bee hive was invaded and attacked.
The insurgents are the irritated bees.
Bush & Co wanted the golden honey.
That is, they wanted that black oil.
And a power-hold in the Middle East.
Bush is now in a corner.
America is getting badly stung.
The bees are getting more and more irritated.
More and more bees are swarming.
America, leave the honey and save yourself.
Return home.

SPEECH ON IRAQ

"My fellow Americans (except for all of you left-wing liberals), I am speaking to you tonight about continuing our commitment for peace and freedom in Iraq.
Some of my critics say that America must turn her back on Iraq, leave its people to face the savage, freedom-hating killers alone.
But America is not going to turn her back.
The United States will stay in Iraq until every terrorist in the universe is gone.
America is not a quitter.
America is not going to stop an illegal war just because a few say that we must.
America will stay the course.
I will stay the course.
Laura will have intercourse.
America wants a stable Iraq.
I want my hand on a horse in a stable.
Thank you.
And may God continue to bless America.”

SERIAL KILLERS

Iraq will have more peace and freedom if the United States leaves Iraq.
Right now the "insurgents" fight because Uncle Sam is there and they want "him" out.
But Uncle Sam (a.k.a. George W. Bush) claims he will not give up on the war in Iraq.
The terrorists are NOW THERE (but they weren’t before we attacked Iraq!) and we must kill them before they kill more innocent children and women
BUT.
The U.S. immediately occupied the oil ministry when it invaded.
Forget the hospitals.
Forget museums.
Forget the electricity.
Forget the water.
Get the f****** oil!
The Bush administration is soon going to be asked more and more to answer for its lies about this war.
That is why there is the Patriot Act.
And the secrecy.
To conceal and protect this regime from any criticism or resistance.
That is why all Bush press conferences and speeches are carefully screened to stifle voices of freedom.
Bush only wants his picture of reality to be seen and heard by Americans.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Bush (and his generals) repeat the same lies.
"We are winning. We are going to win. It isn't a quagmire. We won't leave until there is freedom and liberty in Iraq."
Serial killers can appear quite normal.

AFTER 9/11 BUT BEFORE SHOCK & AWE

"O.K. Dick, can we bomb Iraq and get the American people behind us?
Tenet, how much fabricated “intel” do we have before Shock and Awe can begin?
Find me credible motives to defend this pre-emptive war!
Condi, is your drawing of that mushroom cloud done?
Laura, can you read me that passage again in Revelation about armageddon?
Rumsfeld, have our flights over Iraq softened the targets enough to get this
S & A attack going?
Colin, are you ready to make your ominous presentation at the U.N.?
Good.
Saddam, keep your shorts on, boy, cuz' we're going to start to Shock and Awe your ass off!
Time for some pretzels."

IF YOU DON'T TAKE YOURSELF SERIOUSLY, NEITHER WILL ANYONE ELSE.

BEAUTY IS A FEAST FOR THE EYES, SO FEAST WELL ON BEAUTY.

Quotations Written By An English Teacher

YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ.

DON'T WAIT TO BECOME INTELLIGENT.

EVERY DAY IS A TEST OF YOUR WILL AND DESIRE TO PREPARE FOR THE BIGGER TEST.

WORK...DON'T COMPLAIN. ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE TO BECOME A BETTER AND MORE INTELLIGENT PART OF THE HUMAN RACE.

YOU CARE IF I CARE; I CARE IF YOU CARE.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, THOUGH LIFE IS SOMETIMES LONELY.

GET ME TO GITMO!

Get me to Gitmo!

And bless big Dick Cheney and his huge Halliburton.

A new, permanent prison is going to be built on Guantanamo.

Price tag: $30 to $500 million smackers!

Gosh, Terrorism is good for this country.

Communism was nothing compared to this war on Terrorism.

The real terror, however, is the Big Lie.

The Big Lie that Bush & Co created in order to attack Iraq.

Now, this administration, and most senators and representatives, all sing the same song:

"Yes, it was a mistake. It was a lie to bomb Iraq. But now we must have a victory there in order to win the war on Terrorism. The United States cannot leave. We are there until...until..."

Yes, it is a non sequitur.

And that's the way Bush likes it.

Get me to Gitmo!

ON THE PATRIOT ACT

"Yes, we are with Homeland Security and we are going to review your library records.

As an American, you will cooperate with us.

The Patriot Act is now a mighty and holy law.

Nobody is immune to its powers.

Let's see.

Here we have a 12 year-old patron who is reading about Osama bin Laden. She is now under suspicion for supporting terrorism.

Ah ha! Here is a seven-year old reading about camels. She definitely is on our terrorism list!

We will also need a printout of all of your patrons and the books that they have read since 9-11.

If you resist, and say no, we will have to arrest you, and close your library.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Protect the Homeland!"

THE BIG ONE?

Could the BIG ONE be next in California?

I Hope not.

But I'm glad I don't live in California right now.

And my trip to California later this summer may be postponed until the “shaking” stops (or at least takes a little break).

Scientists say that these earthquakes can either relieve pressure or add pressure to the San Andreas fault.

I've experienced tremors twice in my life.

Once in Colorado and once on Guam.

You get the oddest sensation when the earth moves below you. It is scary.

Doomsayers are probably going to emerge like locusts.

I picture California dropping off into the Pacific as one big floating island after the big one hits.

Have a packed lunch and flashlights ready just in case.

I'm now going to listen to ALL SHOOK UP.

WHY THIS WAR?

ON KING TUT

King Tut.

Many years ago I went to a museum in Denver where there was an exhibition of King Tut.

I was walking between those ropes (that keep visitors in line) when I suddenly remembered the curse of King Tut.

I quickly climbed over the ropes and got out of the museum. I didn't want to take any chances.

But it wasn't King Tutankhamun who killed all of those workers.

Nothing more than bacterial toxins.

But I still won't take any chances.

I'll watch King Tut on T.V.

ON IRAQ

It's the same old litany about the Iraq war:
"We're there so we need to stay there."
"We are winning."
"Freedom is being spread."
But wait.
Now the gung-ho pro-Bush cable stations are telling us 24-7 that support from the American people is decreasing.
But Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice...and all of the other robot neo-cons still maintain that the U.S. will "stay the course" [of destruction and death?] until the Iraqi people are free of terrorists [i.e. insurgents...freedom fighters?].
The dreams and visions of Bush are now nightmarish hallucinations.
Get out of Iraq now.
Give the insurgents a reason stop their suicide bombings.

JUNE 12, 1982

June 12.

This date is forever etched on my memory.

It was June 12, 1982 when I was in New York for the Great Peace March, a giant anti-nuclear weapons rally.

I walked backwards on Fifth Avenue to take pictures of the oncoming “parade”.

I then walked to Central Park and sat among an estimated 1,000,000 persons.

According to New York's Parks and Recreation, it was one of the cleanest days in New York history.

It was also reported that there had not been ONE reported incident of violence!

I had taken a walk the night before. 

At one point (I think it was right after I walked past a man who was sleeping on the sidewalk) I looked up and saw a full moon.

And the figure of a cross was across it.

I thought to myself, "This is a good omen."

The nuclear arms race didn't end

I suppose it will never end.

But we tried on June 12.

IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!

THE TRUTH ABOUT 9-11

If a space telescope can peer at the “cosmological dark ages” and see 10,000 galaxies, why can’t a terrestrial microscope see the origin of events that lead up to 9-11 and the preemptive war on Iraq? It’s puzzling and perplexing. Maybe what we think we’ll find at the end of this tunnel frightens us into not wanting to see that far.

The farthest known galaxy is a mere 13.2 billion light-years away, but the closest the American public seems to get to the truth about 9-11 and Iraq comes from rapid and rabid sound-bites from network and cable news. Then there are the radio talk shows. Where is the Truth and how can IT be found?

The Internet.

Yes, it has a plethora of information. Just the opposite of fast sound-bites. But it is from these many sites of the Internet where truths may be seen, and little by little the Truth becomes visible and the Darkness becomes Light. This description sounds way too heavy and cosmological, I’m sure.

Let’s look at War and Peace. They have always been at odds. The universe has always known about these opposing forces just as God has known about them.

Christ confronted Mammon.

Did he win?

Have we as a species lost?

What has been won if we have lost?

But getting back to “cosmological dark ages”, the Earth itself seems to be in its own darkened age. Perhaps every generation says the same about their own time. Monsters and barbarians are still alive in our hearts, waiting for the powers of the good, the true and the beautiful to conquer them---as well as the terrorists within and without our borders.

Meanwhile, there are other humans on terra firma who are trying to shine light and lights upon the events of 9-11 and the war in Iraq. Godspeed this search to let the world and America gain insights into the birth of these two tragedies. Then we may have a better notion whom to vote for in the 2004 election. Now go count some stars.

NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTTS

"Hello. Office of Deputy Attorney General David McCallum.

Who is calling?

Why yes, Mr. President, one moment while I connect you with Mr. McCallum."

"David, this is Dubya. Fine, fine.

Look, David, you know how much I appreciated those donations from the tobacco industry.

No, no. Laura stopped smoking the coffin nails. Yes, she smells a lot better now.

Well David, here's why I called.

I want you to lower the huge amounts of those sanctions.

Get Justice off of the backs of the tobacco industry.

Yes, I know that this will increase handouts for the 2008 election.

Right, and my investments in tobacco stocks will also benefit.

Thanks David.

Well, I'm going to listen to Tobacco Road now.

Can't hear enough of that song. Bye."

COLIN POWELL ON IRAQ

On the Daily Show Jon Stewart had Colin Powell as his guest.
The former Secretary of State once again defended the decision of George W. Bush to attack Iraq.
Powell said that all "intelligence" was coming from the C.I.A.
This is probably not true, and Powell also failed to mention that the intelligence WAS being manipulated or ignored in favor of the pre-emptive war.
The war was on Bush's menu before September 11, 2001.
Shortly after 9-11 Bush asked his minions to find anything that would justify attacking Iraq before Afhganistan.
Powell beamed proudly when he said that the Bushes were over for dinner recently.
I no longer respect Colin Powell.

POTHEADS AND INTERSTATE COMMERCE

The highest court in the United States, the Supreme Court, no longer wants you to get high on your own or with a doctor’s prescription.

The rich and powerful pharmaceutical companies want your business and your money.

The Feds don’t want you to interfere with Interstate Commerce (whatever in the heck this means!)

They do not want you to grow your own marijuana!

This competes with the profit trough of the pharmaceutical behemoths.

You shall not be allowed to get high or be permitted to relieve your pain on the cheap.

No way Jose!

The Supreme Court agrees with the drug companies.

Do it their way, or it’s the highway (and prison!).

The F.B.I. will now, I suppose, start raiding homes for dangerous marijuana plants.

Hide your Mary Jane!

Flush those joints!

All of you pot smokers are lawbreakers and will be brought to Justice!

Now go have a cigarette with that martini.

WHEN THE EMPEROR IS NAKED

Now we know what has really been occurring in the Bush administration.
To use a word spoken by Bush: This administration has been disassembling the peace and security of the planet.
Before this week, many felt that Bush had just been dissembling.
Nope.
He has also been disassembling all along.
Disassembling the Bill of Rights.
Disassembling the Social Security Act.
Disassembling peace & stability
in Iraq.
Disassembling the English language.
Disassembling the ecology of the earth.
The president has been disassembling so much, that soon, he himself will be disassembled, and this emperor will be wearing no more clothes.
The naked truth will be known and recognized.
No deep throat will be needed.
But a deep voice will speak.
And the words will be loud.
They will reveal all of the dark obfuscations before and after the Iraq war.
The Statue of Liberty will weep.
Americans will cry out for the disassembling of this dangerous and prevaricating administration.
Then Freedom and Democracy will once again live.

THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT

Roger told me that they were all the same.

Nope.

They were all different.

Some were big and some were small;

Some were tight and some were loose;

Some were wet and some were dry.

They were all different.

Some smelled good and some smelled bad.

Some smelled just terrible.

But they were all different, and that’s what made me want them and love them.

The more I had, the more I wanted.

I was addicted for sure.

Nope.

Roger was wrong.

They were all different.
