For Want of...

For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

English Nursery Rhyme (14th Century)

Changes

Sixteen months and counting. Where does the time go when living the dream. Rip Van Winkle I am not, yet I truly enjoy the sound of a strike. Before you return to regularly scheduled programming a word please. Tonight when you look into the sky and see the vast array of twinkling lights, open your mind to the vastness of this wondrous array and entertain yourself with a notion of the beautiful emptiness that occupies the space between you and each pinpoint of brightness. Embrace this chaotic perfection and marvel at its truth.

We are stardust, we are golden...

The Smith of Words

I am of a mind that thinks you belittle me?
I am of a mind to spank my little monkey.
Do you think your words are chosen?
or may perhaps just spoken.
I have no recourse but hell in its damnation.
I am me and you are you but never the twain shall meet.
Most words are for grifters and I am not one such.
But if the word agrees with me; I'm stuck.
Complete your bondage tour for us and the sooner you leave the better;
we'll say we give a fuck.
and then Lie through our teeth.
I have no time for your shit, nor do I have shit for all your time.
I gasp and exhale poison delivered to me daily.
Thank you...

As, if by chance, I become a flaming sparkle that beckons and calls in the icy chill of the pre-dawn night.

"Arise you jaded champion of the cursed and the hated," Groaned the wrathful tempest, "It is within you to make happy dirges for kings and gentle diddies for cowboys."

What happens now is but straw to a camel. Devils and gods have spoken and our siren's song is played in deathly silence; no one will listen. No one will care. WTF people! I'd cry if I could feel, but my understanding for the masses is spent like pissing on sand, gaining no purchase upon the ground it softens.

"Arise you jaded mentor of youth and climb the jagged slopes of discontent and heartbreak." echoed the ancient stones, "we are rolling ever downwards and the abyss steadily approaches."

An unbreachable wall was built with the bones of the servile and the the courageously meek. Those who inherit nothing, not even wind, won't lament the pitiful edifice the strong and the brave wrought with their enterprising nature and their mediocre lust for trinkets and shiny objects. Brilliance will be rewarded with absolute dismal failure.

"Arise you jaded dreamer of far away nothings and soar into the infinite void," whispers the splashing seafoam, " You must face the present as it is; nothing more will do."

...and nothing less will be expected.

The TRUTH is frightening: The Closing of an American Mind

I have absolutely no respect for any Republican politician as the national focus of this party of criminals is based upon lying, cheating, stealing, and destruction. I truly am dumbfounded that anyone in the lower class (yeah, I simplified this problem–two classes: Rich and everybody else, which is about 90-95 percent of our population) would vote for a Republican. Ever!

Quick history lesson: Nixon lied, cheated, stole and destroyed. Then resigned. Ford committed a travesty by letting him off the hook, but added the “pardon gambit” to the Republican strategy; a far worse legacy in my mind. Reagan... What a tool he was; sock puppet extra ordinaire and a hater-baiter*. Here’s a list of his greatest hits: Savings and Loan bailout, Iran-Contra, El Salvadorean death squads (Is it terrorism if we do it?) and the War on Drugs (BTW how is that one going?) Just to name a few. When someone uses the word great to describe St. Ronald I know the title of this piece is correct. Next, Bush the first uses the “pardon gambit” to stifle investigations into the Reagan administration’s lying, cheating, stealing and destroying. Operation Desert Storm need never had happened and is another example of using the military to pound the bejeebus out of some small fry (I am reminded of school yard bullies at this point.) Anyway, he was a one hit wonder and we get Clinton... republican light. He screwed us with his Free Trade Agreement and got a blow job. If I had any doubts about the Republican party at this point (I didn’t) they would have been put aside as I watched them in full glory as they became so unhinged that they impeached Clinton for the above mentioned act; no, not the FTA, the other thing.

I am not even going to attempt to describe the presidency of Bush the last except to say he has elevated Republican ideology to art. Bad art, but still art. In closing, these monsters are laughing at you as you vote to put a collar around your neck and struggle longer and harder for less and less and less. When the truth is inconvenient, we have no right to ask about our liberty.

Anyway, I look around and I watch as cretins destroy and feed hate. I haven't been this depressed since Nixon...

Operation: Kaos

What in the hell is this about? Republicans sowing discord and hate to disrupt the voting process and then conspiring to instill a riot in a large city would be a crime in a mature nation of laws. The truly evil part is the gloating these depraved individuals crow about over their genius as they scatter from any source of light. Anyone who would purposely join the republican party at this time or piss and moan and throw a grownup sized temper tantrum with threats of voting for "the only person I can think of that would be worse than BUSH" because Clinton is not, I repeat, NOT going to win the nomination is not grounded in the reality I have experienced since Nixon. I would say Goldwater, but he was so bug fuck crazy LBJ waltzed into the WH in a land slide.
Let us review a few facts.
1. Nixon was a criminal
2. Ford's pardon signaled to the other crooks (R)that they could get away with anything and that laws mean absolutely fucking nothing to these greedy lying murdering thieves.
3. St. Ronald the Reagan presided over the biggest rip off of the taxpayer (S&L scandal) since, well nobody. Hoover (R) had Teapot Dome though.
4. St. Ronald the Reagan's administration were criminals. Iran-Contra and the October Surprise to name just two.
5. Funny how that pardon thing pops up at the same time every time. Hint: 1976, 1988, 1992, I'm going to make a prediction that 2008 will set a record for the number and seriousness of the pardons Bush will issue. Can he pardon himself? I'm almost sure he thinks he can.
6. If a republican says something, they are either projecting, denying or distracting (if not out and out lying.) Their grasp of mob psychology would be considered masterful if it wasn't based on greed, fear and hate.
7. Obama and Clinton are both centrists with similar ideas and voting records. St BBQ is a two faced, flip flopping, side of the neck talking con man who is in bed with the PACS and is sure to continue: a.) the purging of the Treasury for fun and profit, b.) policies that put more and more burdens on the under class (right, UNDER CLASS because there truly are only two economic classes.) c.) A continuation of Bush's Folly and a possible McCain's Folly to follow in his "100 years of War" mantra. d.) The final gutting of The Constitution as the oligarchy (MNC) will be firmly entrenched, and e.) the privatization of JUSTICE as he will probably get to choose two Justices.
I don't believe any issue facing either dem candidate compares qualitatively with any of the REAL problems of this country. Hell, sure as there are no more Raygun Democrats (I call them republicans) we will have a new group of haters arising. They will violently deny their bigotry or arrogantly defend their ignorance and they will never acknowledge the truth. To allow such an alteration to their world-view would cause such mental stress that I truly believe they would destroy a world in their ensuing panic. I will call these new seekers of the mundane, The Clinton Republicans.
I do hope your Absorption into the collective goes well.
Hey Rush,
here is what I think of you and your addle brained "Pinky and the Brain" idea,
