Heroes: Shoes, Ships, Sealing Wax, Cabbages, Kings
Somewhere there's a guy in Iraq getting the bejeezus tortured out of him because he threw a couple of shoes at a visiting invader. If only that visiting king's citizens had the responsibility to chuck a shoe or two at him at home, perhaps the awful veil of respect for atrocity would have been banished.
An airship went down in New York harbor and thanks to the pilot and crew and the surrounding ships and dinghies that frequent these sea lanes, the passengers made a successful, unharmed exit. Wall Street is studying the actions carefully. Unfortunately for all while they talk about "the market", the actions of normal people with no preparation and no coaching exceeds the expectations of stupid greedy fuckers by 1000% every time. Read it and weep.
With a seal pressed in wax we will sign over to the new government in the next few days, but already it has been blessed with $350 billion to hand out as it feels. Where improvement of infrastructure was all the rage a few weeks ago, tax cuts to the mighty has now replaced these priorities. Oh, one of his new picks didn't pay taxes for a few years? Quaint, we'll gloss over that little faux pas. A new change is coming. $9.95 at Circuit City near you.
Bob Woodward has a new brief out on the 10 lessons to learn from the Bush years, and Shakesville weighs in on its favorite, but the Desi Digest Condensed Version is "don't let Cabbage Patch village idiots convince you to view an armed robbery as if it were a checkout lane at Safeway". Bob = Washington self-adoring suckup, Bush = war and political criminal extraordinaire. Washington Post readers thus = abettors to a crime. Sounds funny till you think about it.
And another King thinks it's strange that Obama would use his middle name finally on inauguration day. Aside from the fact that every inauguree uses his (God, one day I'll have to write his/her) middle name, it's an in-your-face alley-oop. Elections have consequences, motherfucker. You lost, Obama won. Back to your conservative cubby-hole, chew on your disappointment for a few years. Perhaps we'll rechristen it the "Hussein key" on our QHusseinERTY keyboards, right before we switch to Dvorak and voice recognition. As Bill Cosby would say, "Riiight".
"'O Scribesters,' said the Cheney,
'You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one."
The silence is daunting. He won, we lost. The Constitution is in tatters and no one dares repair it, only clean up the pieces. A bit. If this was a bulldozer, next time they'll bring a battleship. We've only encouraged them. Loose lips sink ships, tightened ones abet them. Goodnight Irene. See you in my dreams.
