You are exactly correct
Ayers turned himself in in '80
And that was the end
Of the Weathermen sect.
Can aquire a life
Unless you cut it clean
With a sanitized knife...
Slam into your ass
On the way out
Cos lies cannot stand
When certainty
Chases away
Doubt.
You riddle on
So juicily.
I've never heard of this movie or Max Ophulus, but Peter Ustinov and Oscar Werner are reason enough to see any picture. I'm gonna look for this one.
"Naked" was great. It was like a kick in the head that wakes up the dead...
More "funny honey," I sure hope your bosses, are payin' you good money.
Has superlative stylistic skills, but as a story teller, he sucks.
Bro, McCain IS second banana...Palin's the only one that's producing even so much as a small flicker of fevered interest amongst the repubs.....
But in the 21st century?
Alaska wants to break away and become...what?
To decry the mad hypocricies of our times
Maybe you'd have a chance with the microphone
To rail at all the swarms of media
Enlivened lies....
It's such a sad pity
That people look with such credulity
Up to the idiot box
As the final last word on all world matters
When you must account for most television viewers
Having all the brains and bright dicernability
Of a bag full of rocks....
As Howard said: "Televison is the most awesome goddamn force
In the whole godless, goddamn universe!"
Not in the whole godless goddamn universe
Has there ever been such a sometimes boredon relieving blessing
But almost always invariably
A much more reliably regular
CURSE....
So get up out of your seats and just turn it off
TV is just a goddamned amusement park
It'll peddle any shit that you wanna hear
YOU are the reality
IT is the make believe mirror
The projection
Of all that you hope
And most essentially
Of all
That you
FEAR....
Blowing bogus life into a non-existant "link"
It has always throughout history
Been noticed
That it is always more cost effective
And thrifty
To run with a pack full 'o lies
Perchance to see 'em all fly
Because the devil
Always rewards
The inventive machinantions
Of the tirelessly
Shifty
Of course a man named Faust
After selling Mephistophles his soul
Learned to his own chagrin
That he'd dug himself into his own deep hole
May it be likewise so
With this trademark mark of John McCain
May he be consumed in the drowning down pour
Of his own devious
Devil's rain....
If they turn to Caribou Barbie, Sarah Palin.....
Willaim F's son has jumped the boat?
How in the name of Bizouzou
Will his legacy stand alfoat?
Bin Laden couldn't fuck this country up any worse than Bush has...
About his own people.
And by the way
You're not gonna get any argument form me.
We gave the world the arabic numeral system, the science of algebra, passed on the knowledge of the Greeks through the cultural conduit of Spain, and modernized medicine when Europe was still stuck in the mists of the middle ages, using religious incantations and leeches to cure sick people.
A woman friend of mine in her 40's who knows I'm of an otherly extraction (Libyan-Egyptian) who is perhaps one of the most apolitical people I know, began to opress my ears with all kinds of ugliness relating to Obama the other day. Bald faced bunk of such a special stupid sort, and unsupportable type, always connecting Obama to terrorist organizations originating in the Arab World.
After listening to yarns pehaps more fantastic than those the famous story teller Sheherazad could have concieved, I finally came to the end of my indulgent patience. Finally I had had my fill of this femme le fruitcake's foaming fantasies, and told her quite pointedly to fuck off.
It's very interesting how in the midst of a mindless hysteria, how you often find out who your real friends are, and who your real friend's aren't. It's almost like going through the Guld War again when I was in my 20's.
The thing that really turned things for me, was when this imbecilic individual actually suggested that if Obama becomes president, he will be sworn into office holding his hand over the Koran.
I agree with Hutman. I sure hope Obama can raise the standards of eductaion in this country, especially about that huge area of the world out there, that is not America.
Are pilotin' a boat
That's not too swift
If they think that this
Captain "Ay-rab"
Won't stand up
To their shit...
Cos I'm not a "wog"
Or
"Ain't nuthin' but a hound dog"
And
I won't be drug down
Into the undertow
Of the rebublican's
Hateful bog....
I remember back in the day we used to call a certain style of punk that was fast 'n loud "hardcore."
But "Mumblecore?"
I'm not gonna go to a movie to see a bunch of people mumble their way through some film student kid's fucking experiment in the art of mumbling.
