THURSDAY
damn near a warcrime: 600,000 dead iraqis
my nephew just shipped overseas to iraq
its personal now, hes a good kid and he
deserves better than to be a pawn in a neocon fantasy
was reading somewhere that dead american soldiers
arent the true criteria of bloodcost, that wounded are a better
yardstick because so many survive that would have died
in previous wars but they are maimed
the reports say life in baghdad has become hellish
the reports say more people been tortured to death
under bushs puppetplay regime than were tortured by saddam
surely more people have been tortured by americans under bush
than ever before - god help us its been made legal to do so
what kind of world is this
they see
stay the course indeed
i read the military made iraq plans up to 2010
4 more years of this
2 more years of bogarting spineless democrats & republican enablers
into perpetuating this travesty on the american soul
he does not care
caught up in a neocon fantasy
he shrugs off the dead
it is an abomination
my nephew is a good kid and does not deserve
to be caught up in neocon realities
but who does
how long must we endure this farce
how much longer must we endure
the rule of the rightwing
retaking america will be a long and complex struggle
but the absolute next move is november 7th
send the rightwing a message
send a message to ourselves
andf our childrens future
25 days and counting
in struggle
rickydoc trickmaster
wouldbe prophet
of the hoodoo way
WEDNESDAY
who tricking who in the holyland
the justice dept has used the voting rights act
to accuse blacks in the great state of mississippi
theyve accused local black power broker
ike brown of rovian tactics mississippi stylee
in the melodious hamlet of noxubee county, where blacks
outnumber whites 3 to 1
justice dept say white voters cant get a break
same justice dept aint done diddly for black voters nowhere
aiding and abetting republican efforts to suppress minority votes
through various voter id scams
i really shouldnt be tickled at this remedial action delta stylee but
as a child of the oldschool delta i just cant help myself
blacks say they outnumber whites 3 to 1
say they dont need to trick them
brother brown, clearly an officer in that great fraternity, the mystic knights of the sea
has no office in the classic white columned courthouse but habitually greets visitors from a chair near the front door (god this is rich material)
he was interviewed however under what the paper calls the obligatory confederate monument (bedford forrest most likely, on his horse)
"they cant win anyway unless we vote for them" say grandmaster ike “if I was doing something wrong — thats like closing the barn door when the horse is already gone”
“they had their way all the time. they no longer have their way. thats what it’s all about.” he say, “them trying to keep me from picking the lock”
nevertheless whitefolk claim they been outfought, outfoxed, outvoted, outtricked
they say the lock been picked
they say maybe blacks was mistreated in the past
but they cant do nothing about that now, locking them out
is not just fair, and i know they right but i just cant bring
myself to care - hopefully folk will forgive
this petty transgression on my part
but the irony just too juicy
for me to resist
if i was back home id be
tricking them too
MONDAY
mission accomplished: bomb bomb who got the bomb
apparently north korea
let me recap
while bush & crew playing cowboys & indians in iraq
iran has built nuclear facilities
afghanistan has gone feral
and now north korea has the bomb
all because of the bush administration policy
of refusing to talk to your enemies
he considers it appeasement
to talk to your enemies
hed rather threaten them and call it diplomacy
(not much different from how he treats his 'friends')
then when issues like this come up they got no leverage
nor the trust of the worldwide community that they wont
take advantage of any deals to interpret them imperially
i remember their response during the recent lebanense conflict
when it was suggested they talk to syria
something along the lines of - syria knows what we want
and best they get on it - the bush idea of diplomacy
now their response will be to claim that as the party
of security only they can handle the north korean threat
god forbid any more of their threat handling
unless we want our children to grow up
in a nuclear winter
this the same crew that tried to push a policy of tactial nukes on iran until the generals pushed back
under their watch threats have proliferated around the globe
their idea of security is about par
w/their idea of hurricane protection
bush fiddling rightwing slogans while new orleans and the world drowns in nuclear fire
im telling you sex scandals are not the point
we will survive sex scandals
the bush administration is another matter
in struggle
rdoc
FRIDAY
winning on a techical foul
hello world
im sorry its the foley scandal thats taken root
and got the bush admin and his congressional enablers scurrying
like roaches when the light comes on
i been trying to avoid wallowing in that pit
but a couple of points i cannot resist:
one, do you really think foley was never successful in his pursuits, as he now claims (along with alcohol and priests and god knows what else)
or that any victims would come forth voluntarily to say yes he got me, i fell for it, im the fool that gave it up, make sure you spell my name right
only question is will that shoe drop before or after the election
ethics committee say foley aint they concern, only the coverup
they not interested in seeing just how far his transgressions go
gaping holes in they little stories will back them off that little plan
you know they knew - gon all come out, like festering pus
and two: what ethics committee
the house ethics committee been officially defunct for years
but as effective an october surprise as this has been in
drowning out bush & roves vicious wave the bloody flag campaign
id rather it be the woodward book, their criminal incompetence
their calculated policy of misleading the american people
that trips them up
a policy indictment rather than a sex scandal
at this point i will take what i can get, but a sex scandal win
doesnt change the toxic rightwing political climate
if anything it perpetuates it
thats winning by their rules
not ours
warcrime:
a million israeli cluster bombs still killing civilian hostages
israeli cluster bombs - supplied by america
still killing and maiming lebanese civilians
said cluster bombs dropped at very end of the recent 'war'
when the israelis already knew it was lost and ending
pretty obvious this last minute cluster bombing designed to
keep lebanese civilians from returning south -
more of the warcrime strategy
used by israel and the united states
warring on a civilian population
and holding them hostage
again
israels pious declarations of victimhood
sound more hollow w/every explosion
every maimed lebanese child
it's been far too long since i've had a moment to read this blog...but i'm glad i can still be grateful for the sanity in your voice. just watching the news these days can be enough to send one to the crazy house...
i hear you.
peace.
