time to face the facts

Bushco lies everytime he opens his mouth.
I'm disgusted from the floods in new orleans . if a hurricane hits a rich, white part of the country , you better believe he would react. but , no , he said that acts of god don't discriminate, only politicians do. wait , he didn't really say that . but he may as well have . 'cause now he wants to pay for his crappy attempt at helping people by cutting social security. hey asshole , some of the poor white folks who voted for you are not gonna like you a whole lot if you treat them like chattel. But hey , george , i guess you don't really care , 'cause it's not your money. "compassionate consevatism" , what the hell does that mean anyway? It's a contradiction in terms. He's just a sleazy buisnessman , so inept , and he doesn't care about how inept he is , or maybe it just seems that he's inept , but it's really all part of his plan to bankrupt this country , so he can become dictator. or the saudis can become dictators. scarey stuff. and what about hiring your college roommate to head fema , he didn't have any experience , but since you knew himm in college , and since georges whitehouse is just a college frathouse , he got in. hey george , go back to crawford and blow coke and drink bourban till you pass out, 'cause you're so "moral" moral? you don't care about anything but money.

changing the subject, a little

Here in the land of sun and fun
flowers and flowerpower,
I'd just like to reflect on how different California is to the midwest , where I usually reside.
It's sunny here in berkeley ,
where I'm on vacation,
From the humdrum, workaday world ,
that my life has become.
I'ts sunny now , though this morning cloudy,
as I walked a few miles , from oakland to berkely, just looking at the beutiful old california houses ,
and the flowers , miles of beautiful flowers.
everyone has a garden,
like it's a competition ,
to see who can grow the best flowers,
but everyone would win, as far as I'm concerned.
they don't have gardens like this , in the midwest , where I'm from,
where I'm always trying to escape from .
The long, cold , dark winters,
that never seem to end.
the hot , hot summers , where you just want to stay inside ,
with the air conditioning on.
in the winter , you stay inside 'cause it's too cold.
In the summer , you stay inside 'cause it's too hot .
I'm tired of being inside.
In northern california , they have earthquakes , or so I hear on the news
I've seen the pictures ,
of the '89 earthquake,
that did a lot of damage , destroyed the bay bridge
flat as a pancake.
But when I come to the bay area , I usually get good weather , at least a few days.
the sun is inviting ,
as the tide by the ocean.
San francisco
with it's 90 degree hills ,
and multi colored houses.
I can never get enough of it's beauty.
And even when my legs are sore
from walking it's ninety degree streets,
I want to see more.
It still amazes me .
see ya nextime.

When bush comes to shove

Then remember the next election,
the war waged on ,
osama , osama ,
still couldn't be found.
the colors were now ,
all warning us loudly , that something would happen ,
from somewhere else.
although we weren't sure
of the how's or the whys.
The colors they shouted from yellow to red,
if we didn't follow their warnings, pretty soon we'd be dead.
yellow was the leastest, of warnings to follow
it meant something was up, but not all that dire.
next came the orange , but not like the citrus,
it was shouting more loudly,
but not like the red one.
the red was the worst one, meaning something big was to happen ,
like on 11th september, this time we'd be ready.
but time and again , when they raised the alerts,
like rats , we waited
for to happen , the worst.
we waited and waited ,
transfixed to tv screens,
but nothing else happened , at least not on our streets.
it was time for george to run again.
time to tell us all what a brave man he was.
and a new contender was picked ,
a senator from out east.
where they talked well and used big words,
unlike george , who liked talking to people,
as if they were ten,
reassuring us of no taxes he'd raise.
making up stories , again and again ,
about how he cared about us,
about how life was so precious,
no mentioning dead folks , over there in his oil war.
'cause the cause it was noble, he said it again and again,
we felt he meant it, at least some of us did ,
though more and more folks said ,
"he's gotta be kiddin".
And then , last fall , we went to the polls again ,
the new guy this kerry from out east ,well new to us ,
a senator he was ,
served in the war from the past that we knew of ,
the one that george got out of ,
he was well connected.
but he played like a patriot, got some of us all emotional,
called this guy kerry "unpatriotic",
for serving in war
'cause in bushworld, those that do aren't real patriots
and those that don't are the ones
who'll protect us from harm ,
at least that's what they say.
but tomorrow, tomorrow's another day , dear reader.

Triumph of the george?

So saddam was captured ,
the war just beginning,
"make iraq free" ,
his highness was spinning.
Iraqis seemed happy ,
saddam statues fell in the street.
the war was over ,
the enemy in defeat.
But wait , what's this ,
we said , as more men died.
the guy we thought we believed ,
it seemed like he'd lied.
the guy whose' election seemed a little bit fishy,
was now in a war who's motives were iffy.
More men died and then more and more.
and those who didn't die got hurt worse than before.
Some men came back home from the war ,
said "I don't want to go back, what's it all for."
and prince george, still on high from his conflict,
said "this war means something, and I'll make it stick"
So the war kept on going , it's still going today.
for what, we don't know , 'cause georgie still won't say.
"to make iraq free" he says with a smirk,
and more and more Americans think of him as a jerk.
yeah , "he's a jerk , but he's our jerk", quoting nixon.
the last guy who was in and tried to put a fix in.
the war rages on , insurgents still pissed at us,
for trying to give them something they just don't trust.
and how can you trust georgie,
he talks like a child,
ranting and raving ,
I've never seen him mild.
But some folks ,
down in states painted red ,
see him as a savior,
a hero, instead.
But not Iraqis , at least the ones we threw bombs at.
they want us to go ,
they don't want what we've got.
They don't like americans , don't like the bushey one.
and don't like us killing all of their sons.
and then a lot of americans started getting real tired
of all the pronouncements
coming from georges mouth. .
The people hired by unca dicks firm haliburton,
kept getting rich from the war,
that's for certain.
But war wasn't for profit , you say,
it was to make peace and freedom.
that's what george kept saying ,
though I don't think I believe him.
he looks damaged , talks erratically, is mentally unbalanced.
from all the coke and whiskey he injested previous.
and , then , dear readers , it was time to elect ,
another four years
we had to select
a rival for georgie, we didn't like his bravado,
his fake cowboy stance , the man was a wacko.
Who would we put in to run against georgie?
stay tuned , dear readers and blog along again.

Son of blog job

So Clinton got a blow job....
and where was osama?

afghanis are free , george declared in a proud speech,
hand picked a leader in the afghans,
after a while , forgetting Osama ,
moved on to things other than that.
But still we all ,
traumatized by the plane hits,
of the fateful day,
went along with the new plans ,
although , some had our doubts.
Saddam hussain of Iraq , the man that we wanted ,
saddam from another war of king george the first.
"He's the one , he kills his own people",
said george, "he has destructive mass weapons that could do us all harm"
george was on high from "successful" missions on afghanistan , though no one dared ask where osama was now.
There were many good reasons to go to new war locales,
Saddam was the man got away from king george the first one,
made him look all wimpy and weak.
"An evil dictator is he" said our leader,
the war we will wage and then we'll take over,
it's easy , a few months it will take.
but planning was random ,
chaotic bomb missions,
A few months of this , we had our saddam ,
found hiding in holes unfit for a spider.
looking disheveled,
declaring he was still pres,
a date was set for his trial.
"Iraq is free" our pres stated with dignity,
"Mission accomplished",
the sign stated so clear.
But war dragged on ,
the people were tired,
lacking water and electricity, some said life was better with saddam.
There were the "insurgents" ,
people left over from saddams armies ,
who couldn't let go of ways beforehand.
But , dear reader , you know why we're still there.
if it wasn't too obvious,
the oil was still flowing ,
and everyone knows george was oils best friend.
The war it will wage on , over and over ,
CNN and fox will keep telling us ,
of causes more nobel.
But sacrifice , dear god no.
"Go shopping ", georges comments ,
after 11th september,
"it will make our economy flow"

more , dear readers , to follow

blog job

Clinton got a blow job,
all we heard for two years ,
ken starr told the lurrid tale on cnn.
day , after day.
ken starr , who sold his soul
to the highest bidder.
"We'll get him on something" , they said.
Whitewater investigations turned into monicagate.
"We've got him now, they shrieked,
as the christian rightists turned up thier forever investigation
to the "unpure as mud " president,
day after day on fox news
Clinton got a blow job.
"fair and unbalanced", they said , as the balence weighed highly on just how "right" they were.
Then they picked thier golden boy, King george, the second,
fair gov of texass,
had a folksey sound ,
like he cared about average , poor folk.
two term gov of texass, killed a lot of folks on "law and order" decrees , in the gas chamber,
wheather they deserved it or not , mostly non whites,
"let god sort it out " , were georges' thoughts on the matter.
So they ran him for pres, against the vp of Clinton,
Al gore , policy wonkist of uncomfortable pauses, too smart for us reg'lar folks,
georgie was thier man.
neck and neck, all the way.
gore thought he had won.
but wait, what's this, the shrub was ahead,
or so it seemed ,
back and forth for two weeks,
folks counting punches on ballots ,
invented in the seventies to simplify counting,
no one thought they could be cheated.
The closest election in many a year ,
maybe second closest in history,
if all was told fairly.
judges said, we've got us a winner, judges hand picked by george the first.
Georgie the second was crowned,
the silence was sickening.
And he said, "I'm here to stop the bickering , be a uniter , not a divider".
And we all were shocked, except , of course, the "religious" among them.
And it started. The first year was tough , his numbers were low , mistake after mistake, miscue after miscue.
It's not easy being george , the wordsmith he's not,
bungling time after time ,
no coherent message, thought he'd be a one termer , like dad,
george the first.
poll numbers falling , economy in free fall .
But wait what's this?
September the 11th?
nice clear day ?
9/11?
"a day that will live in infamy", they told us,
just to go back in our minds, ww11 images , the glorious bombing,
and of much greater men
FDR .
9/11 - hmm. 9/11
"911 emergency, please respond" 911 EMERGENCY!
WHAT THE FUCK???
a plane blew into our consciousness.
into a big ass building
in NY fucking C.
HOLY SHIT!
"This can't be real"
"is this a fucking jerry bruckheimer movie, where everything blows up and the bad guys die in the end? "
But , no
stuff blew up , blew up good.
and lots of folks died.
And we still don't know why, for sure.
Osama bin laden of saudi dissent, by way of afganistan, they said.
"he did it , he's the guy you want"
the pictures of all his ring leaders in the daily news,
like wanted posters in the post office ,
the story, all cut and dried in a matter of days.
and some of us bought it.
the images repeated , day after day ,
like an abused child , we responded , in bewilderment,
numb,
scared,
frightened.
We didn't know how to feel .
we'd never seen anything like it .
But , just to remind us of how scared we felt
we saw it over and over , transfixed to the tv,
like lab rats on speed ,
feeling like shit , but not getting enough, never getting enough.
They had an answer ,
go into Afghanistan, have a war on osama,
"smoke him out" , george said , his confidence high.
so we bombed on the afghans , thier mountains rained with shells,
as they had before from the russians,
in another war,
when talibans were friendly.
well, before talibans , it was called "musha ha deen" , or something like that.
They were our friends , were fighting the russians,
our sworn enemy.
so we armed them , armed them good , so russians would know our might.
And then we left . we'd had enough of afghanistan.
so , then , out of the blue sky comes 9/11 , to save george from embarrassment
of a one term president.
And he started sounding , well some said, "presidential", although I never bought it.
"presidential" , that would imply that he had a brain, his own original thoughts, a way of responding to things that didn't make him sound like a ten year old.
He never had that , in my mind.
He always sounded like the very dysfunctional , brain impaired , disorganized thinking , ex coke snorting , hard drinking frat boy that he is.
I mean a psychologist could go to town on this guy.
But , back to the story.
war in afghanistan went on for awhile,
we got the taliban in a number of weeks, so they said .
Afganis we're free, they said , burkas were lifted from faces of women ,
who no longer had to look like beekeepers,
we could see thier eyes!
"we care about womans' rights" , said george , feeling prideful from a job well done.
BUT WHERE WAS OSAMA?
Did anyone check? was he in the mountains of the rough afghani ranges?
did we just forget about osama , PUBLIC ENEMY #1
Stay tuned dear reader......

breathe

well dear readers , now is the time for us all to deeply breathe and try and figure out what to do with our little messed up world . We feel powerless to do anything but to look at our stock portfolios (those that are fortunate to have them) or bank balances and figure out what to do next. do we just split this messed up country and flee for canada,which is colder but does take care of it's people? Do we stay here and fight a government that has no interest in taking care of the less fortunate?
I don't want to live in martial law land, I don't want to fear that I'm going to be shot by someone over a bottle of water or a pair of gymshoes , or for a gallon of gas, which by the time the week is over , may cost more than an ounce of gold. I don't want to live in a world where the illeagally elected commander in thief presides over a bunch of his cronies like kenny boy lay from enron biggest bankrupcy in history and heck it's no big deal. or tom delay ripping off indian tribes 'cause he says he thinks gambling is immoral , hey what about stealing. but hey its only dammned indians. There are sooo many things these whack jobs have done while in office that defy reason and just go to pure greed, masked by "religion" and "the culture of life" culture of life . what a phrase , coming from the guy who has caused more death an destruction both home and abroad than any president in recent history.

what a world!

I'm just pissed off at the world ! The place is going to hell in a handbasket! why are we at war with iraq? "weapons of mass destruction" , weapons of mass destraction, is more like it. bushco is a snakeoil salesman of the highest order, and we're all his shills, just running around , trying to pay our bills, too damn confused to know what the hell is going on. " Daddy' daddy ' I can make good on all my failed oil deals I can be a good president , I can make you proud". Is that what the hell this is all about? "I'm better than that east coast country club snob, and I can be a plain speakin , regular country folk , christian do gooder , gay bashin , culture 'a life , anti terraist president." what a load of crap! Well , at least he didn't cheat on his wife with that hussy monica lewinsky! just cheated on most of the american people . just keep crappin on us , we can take it . we're good americans we'll believe anything. but wait, new orleans is a cesspool, teeming with the realization of the fact that they didn't get enough money to upgrade the levees , 'cause we needed more money for the bad iraquis that we didn't need to be at war with. but don't worry , haliburton will bale out n.o. while dick " where's chaney" , counts the profits . thats just too fucked up. "christians"? where? "compassionate conservative?" contradiction in terms. more , later.
