until the war on terror(b) came along. now we've got both, and can be seen to fight the good fight against god's enemies without actually having any enemies. of course, we do have enemies, and as long as they insist on living on top of our oil they are filed under 'a' or 'b', to be visited by the marine corps, sac, or robot bombs.

this pretty much simplifies american foreign policy to the point that anyone can do it. hell, even a black woman can do it nowadays, as long as dick cheney gets to file nations under 'a' or 'b', and in-coming or outgoing.(rifle-fire, that is.) that doesn't leave much for ms rice to do, you'd think, but somehow she keeps busy with the artistic bits of foreign policy, such as israel and georgia.

it's true that 'b' is the glamor cause nowadays, but 'a' must not be forgotten. employs a lot of otherwise useless nephews for one thing. wouldn't want them hanging around street corners thinking thoughts of revenge towards the rich people who got a free pass when 'a' momentarily included them. justice for all of course, but in moderation too. putting rich people in jail is counter-productive. innit?

but abba sold more tracks beethoven, and the monkees more than the beatles. i guess it's nice that women who measure men by the depth of their cleavage have a philosopher they can think they understand. how shocking to learn he is married to a barbie doll, who would have guessed?

i urge you to lubricate your sense of humor, and find out what 'satire' and 'irony' are. wine, and wikipedia will do it.

then, i take great pleasure in informing you that i am so tolerant, so progressive, so filled with love for all, well almost all, humanity- that i am capable of displaying disrespect even to women, even to black women, when they participate in the bush regime. it's only fair, a duty to all the women, black or otherwise, with sufficient self respect to stay away from the oval office.

if you are unable to distinguish what i write from sexist or racist attacks, i pity you. either you are too dim to participate in civilized discourse without an interpreter, or more likely you are only moderately dim, but utterly overwhelmed by that pseudo-intellectual straight jacket called 'political correctness'.

throw it off, stand up, be rude to everyone who works for bush, even women, even black women. blood will rush to areas of your brain long dormant, cognitive power will be recovered, and people will start laughing at your jokes. perhaps even at the right places.

but the real joke is the cross between musical chairs and american idol that characterizes setting american law and policy through elections, that's a real knee-slapper.

well, it would be if it were just a reality show, instead of reality.

just with mccain's own clips. and he's the 'other' candidate, one of two who will be toying with sac, the marine corps, the cia, thinking "how best to get some use out of these dust-catchers?"

in the middle years of the roman empire, a succession of nutters, weirds, and 'accidentals' found themselves briefly wearing the purple and thereby enlivened the times and made classical history amusing. future archeologists will regard current american history in a similar light: 'what were they thinking of?'

from day1, america has been making war on it's neighbors, taking their land, killing the people, condemning the survivors to beggary. that's depressing, unless you're confident god wills it. americans can't get along without religion, it's the only anodyne for aggression, selfishness, and greed.

well-meaning americans might be accepted as immigrants, but would have to get in line, behind the palestinians who have been driven from their land by that other lot of workers of god's will, the zionists.

there's no doubt the scandinavians have made the best human society, which is easy, or even a good human society, but the morlocks of america can comfort themselves with the knowledge that the climate there is miserable, and, as goths or vikings, the scandinavians used to cause endless trouble by trying to holiday in southern france, or at least brighton.

they still put dubya in the whitehouse.

i wanna hear a plan to keep it from happening again. a plan to keep everyone in work, for a wage that will allow education and healthcare for all. and not one of those 'optional' plans the rich love, you know- the one where everybody can choose to live under a bridge if they want, rich or poor.

it's ok to be nice to republicans. but you wouldn't let senile dementia cases drive a city bus, and nor should you let republicans run anything more complicated than a library. don't, don't let them be in charge of living creatures or dispose of any power greater than a light bulb.

put in an application for a permanent resident visa to australia and new zealand. neither is paradise, both are better than usa for all but the super-rich.

if the repubs get in, many will join you in the queue, but you'll be closer to the front.

both speak english, sort of, both have magnificent scenery, and new zealand has the particular charm of severing military ties with the usa.

and cuisine in sydney is international- everyone starts here, usually with a restaurant.

the recognition that newspeak worked perfectly well when the ministry of love was called 'homeland security' has saved a lot of money.

re-think!

just to fill up the space lest some other person sits down in 'your' chair.
