Original article: Vampires that don't suck

bruiser's performance

This real life vampire doesn't suck, he blowshard!

bruiser's performance

Vice President Richard Bruiser a celebrated pianist

the Jasper kid who flopped his doctorate

zipped up the Yamaha grand reving it full bore.

He rocked the grapes off the crossbeam

then fell heavily from his high perch

puncturing his beloved biohazard suit.

With blood dripping on the floor & a paranoid growl

he said, ‘go fark yourself!’ hurling the score

of the grosse fugue by Ludwig Van Beethoven the immortal

at an unsuspecting quartet of foreign dignitaries.

With flare Bruiser burst up to the footlights

where he took out his running mate

with a personalized version of the celebrated

water boarding technique.

High heels conservative ties academic gowns

& bonnets stampeded immediately.

Fire dancers ripped down the aisles & up the drapes

as that fat old boy turned the burning deck & set

into a spectacular spontaneous pyrotechnic event.

Vice directum dickhead leapt astride Harry’s casket

that accidental hero once sadly impregnated

with friendly fire on an ill fated Texas hunting trip.

Teeth gleaming phoenix eyes squinting

Bruiser immediately became an immortal

& just as impotent as the pope in his pointy red shoes.

He hummed the hymn ‘onward christian soldiers’

as he smiled his triumphant frostyboy smile

whispering hoarsely as he expired into the ears

of jackal axle herself, ‘so this is how it’s done.’

Iraqi deaths since the US invasion

The number of US fighters killed in Iraq since the invasion is a drop in the bucket compared to the Iraqis killed as a direct result of the US invasion of Iraq. George W Bush may have ridden rough shod over the American people but that's nothing compared to the havoc he has wrecked internationally with the backing of the former Australian PM John Howard, dubbed 'man of steel.' Howard was dumped resoundingly in general elections by the Australian people.

ABC News [Australia] reported January 31, 2008 - 'more than one million Iraqis have died because of the war in Iraq since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003. A fifth of Iraqi households lost at least one family member between March 2003 and August 2007 due to the conflict - data compiled by London-based Opinion Research Business (ORB) and its research partner in Iraq, the Independent Institute for Administration and Civil Society Studies (IIACSS). The study based its findings on survey work involving the face-to-face questioning of 2414 Iraqi adults aged 18 or above, and the last complete census in Iraq in 1997, which indicated a total of 4.05 million households.' Further to that - ' The highest rate of deaths throughout the country occurred in Baghdad, where more than 40 per cent of households had lost a family member.'

In May 2008 Amnesty International 'estimated 4.7 million Iraqis' had been displaced. Millions have fled into neighbouring countries. But the good news for Americans is that Iraqi oil is flowing. I wonder who is siphoning off the profits.

George Bush has blood on his hands but he doesn't care. After all he is invincible. He was blooded on hero comics & he is living out his superhero fantasy. Between 3-4 million people died as a result of the Vietnam War. Americans withdrew only after protests at home about the number of GIs in body bags. Now the US is on the verge of bankrupcy because George has borrowed to finance his fantasy. Most Americans probably don't know that the US spends more on its military budget than every other country in the world combined.
