You'd better hatch out a plan
That'll KEEP shit afloat.
YOU might be a garden variety goddamn fool, but I don't want any average piece of shit legislation breezed on through.
I don't know jack about what comes across, but I do know you must be shittin' bricks, facin' a terribly unpleasant loss.
Actual knowledge of the ways
And workings of the middle east
Are not an essential requisite
For Palin
To make for her
Serious vice presidential case.
McCain knows that any old Joe or Jane
Can deal with the byzantine political mazes
Of Damascus or Tehran
It's just like jumping into Iraq
Without a vision or a plan...
I'll bet the closest Sarah Palin has gotten to understanding and comprehending the complexities of the middle east and its politics has probably been through ordering a felafel sandwich at Pita King.
...on the middle east...but I have a question...do they have felafel in Alaska?
Americans are attracted to stupidity
Like flies are drawn to shit...
Only Kirok of the deep valley can bring the clan of the cave bear and the valley people together under one banner of UGGli Umuricaness. UU! OO! UU! OO! reUGGlican rool til 2022!
Is either deeply dellusional
Or a holified religious snob...
Toothless youth.
...it smells like "victory."
What happened? Why're y'all scrappin'? Five weeks till election and you're both Bill Clinton disectin'? I don't CARE what Bill says or does, Bill Clinton had his two terms, and is now the president that was...
You're right on about the civil rights act....activists and just ordinary Americans did all the the sufferin' and strivin', the work of real live, living, women and men, the work that LBJ did, was the stroke of a pen...
When Bush was bestowed
A second term
I said "you'll be sorry."
But Americans never learn....
From the war
On error?
The average American responce is:
Yeah
Whatever....
I'm not belittling the bold stroke that Johnson's pen took, if he hadn't taken it, shit'd still be like a phone left off the hook...
At least Johnson picked up the line
And heard what was being said on the other end
No president's done that in a while
Now it's just like beatin' yourself on the head.
My favorite slice of Tuco was the part on the prison train when Tuco (played by Eli Wallacch) was hand cuffed to the fat, sadistic, union soldier.
Tuco: "I like big fat men like you. Sometimes they fall down, and they never get up."
The average American response is:
Yeah
Whatever...
But at least Tuco knew where shit was really at...
The all American
Afterthought...
That dirty sock on laundry day
That we just kinda "forgot"
...joins forces with the old McMummy....
Made the music for "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
He did the music for "1900" too, which all of you guys should see, about how politics shape the fate of an Italian family and a childhood friendship btween two boys, one the son of a peasant farmer, the other, the son of a landed aristocrat.
It was made by the audacious Bernardo Bertolucci, and has long been one of my favorite movies.
C'mon! Americans have been boiling their election choices down to Old West mythology for eons...Just look at all of the "cowboys" who made their mark with the American masses, not on account of candidate qualities of clearheaded competency, but on shit that really counts like cowboy cockiness.
Give yourself a break.
Bush made you swoon
Now reap
The wild doom...
Though Tuco was ugly, at least he was resourceful and sharp.....Palin's got a pretty face, but is hollow inside, and is a holyroller at heart.
My favorite Morricone movie music is from "Danger Diabolik."
Your multiple multiple posts
Prattle on...
So vigorously
So youthfully....
I tell ya true
I'm so staggeringly underwhelmed
I can scarecely
Begin to describe
How to tell it
To you two...
Caped crusaders of the week.
Your voices carrying off
And resounding
And then backwards
Rebounding
Like a mouse's mighty squeak...
I didn't even know that John Philip Law had passed away, I remember loving his Sindbad, back in the Golden Voyage day.
Morricone deserved an award, though I hold the Oscars in as much real a regard, as I hold a plastic toy sword.
Oh that movie that Copola's kid made? No. I read about it...that's about it.
*squeak!*
*squeak!* *squeak!*
*squeak!*
*squeak!*
Knows when it's time to quit a sinking ship
It's only cheifpayne and truthfully
Who don't mind goin' down with it....
You know how it is...the Oscars, they're like American elections.
I remember what must of been a while back, that an Italian pornstar ran for parlaiment, and I think she won it at that!
Ends not with a merry
Little tip of the hat
But with the scurrying and furying sounds of
Angry squeaking mice and rats...
Yup. Yup.
for Hallmark.
The All American
Afterthought
That dirty sock
On laundry day
That we just
Kinda "forgot"
Afirmative.
Johnny Quester
And sometimes
Court Jester
I'm not
An bad investor...
Are often times like that
They have egos as big as the almighty
And preside over three million blind mice
As the right and honorable King Rat.
It means you've got a good head on your shoulders
And that you know what's up
It means you know the real score
Just like crime dog McRuff...
Fuck Ron Paul!
I'm writin' in Mickey Mouse!
I just wanna change the subject for just a moment
To a place far far away...
Boondoggle in Iraq
The all American afterthought
That dirty sock on laundry day
That we just kinda "forgot"
He of the holy host?
The one
The only
Space Ghost?
I don't know about what you heard was "hip"
But I can reliably tell you
That you're full 'o shit.
Well I dunno...
That's a pretty big problem!
just shout
it all out...
