U.S. invasion was "idiot decision"-Iraq vice president

Now there's a fella' who gets us!

...George Bush, and the horse he rode in on...

You think of that man, who has never made a correct move in his pampered, protected life,
and you ask, who the fuck invited this moron to the table.
Then you remember he's the president,
and you can't look at strangers the same way,
on the morning train.

he's the mental slurry
in our dumpster.
the backwash
even bums
can't swallow.

and he will take us into Iran
with his eyes closed.

Fuck fancy talk about who pays for the surge.
Impeach him.
Impeach him now,
before he Really fucks our shit up.

The Surge: A Great Idea

(I'm going to repost some things because this makes me too sick to write anything new)


like stretcher bearers
at Verdun
we watch
bright eyed new leaders
arrive in glory
and leave
promoted
to disgrace.

as each new commander
slams fist to palm
exclaiming
'we have the formula!'
we know to order
neighborhoods
of bandages,
forests
of coffins.

The Surge: A thought

It's not supposed to work (he whispered).
It's a front...It's supposed to do one of two things:

1. Solidify the democrats as co-conspirators in the criminal Iraq caper;

or

2. Force the new Congress (assuming it has any balls whatsoever) to vote it down and
let the rightwing get on with the coming knife in the back delusion.

Why do you crow about the idiocy of George
when you know he's not in charge?

I turned to face him but I was alone on the rain dark platform.

Comet Alert!

If you have a good view of the south-west horizon, look for an extremely bright object right after sunset. (Sadly, it sets very quickly.) It's Comet McNaught (2006 P1). Yes it's real...
and it's spectacular!
