POUND FOR POUND

THE GARRET

Come, let us pity those who are better off than we are.
Come, my friend,and remember
that the rich have butlers and no friends,
And we have friends and no butlers.
Come, let us pity the married and unmarried.

Dawn enters with little feet
like a gilded Pavlova,
And I am near my desire.
Nor has life in it aught better
Than this hour of clear coolness,
the hour of waking together.

THE BEAUTIFUL TOILET

Blue,blue is the grass about the river
And the willows have overfilled the close garden.
And within, the mistress, in the midmost of her youth,
White, white of face, hesitates, passing the door.
Slender, she puts forth a slender hand;

And she was a courtezan in the old days,
And she has married a sot,
Who now goes drunkenly out
And leaves her too much alone.

-E. Pound

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF

Jesus said this although I don't claim to be a Biblical scholar or even much of a practitioner this strikes me as extremely relevant.. The Christian right is attacking the U.S.A as a whole. A majority of the pop. do not agree with them whatever Bush and his buddies think. When you take the contaxt of this message it confirms the belief they hate us as much as themselves. James Dobson is especially guilty of this he has the ear of Sen. Bill Frist who together attacked the judges stemming from the whole Terry Schiavo tragedy. Now they are inserting their so-called religious beliefs into stem cell research. Never mind the fact that the cells scientists want to use for research are already on the block to be destroyed these people do not want the cells to be used for research. They dont talk about the fact they are going to be destroyed anyway. This goes back to the culture of life hypocrisy. My question to these folks is how many kids have they adopted, how much money have they invested in foster care for the poor kids who are alive who have no family. Dobsons group is called ,Focus on the Family, which is anything but. They also promote the use of abstinance education and downplay the use of condoms. A prevailing mantra is that the stats on condom use are wrong they don't protect kids having sex, a court in Alabama ruled that a pregnant girl in high school could not attend her graduation even though she thought she was doing the right thing(if you are going to have sex don't use a condom) by not having an abortion, meanwhile the boy who got her pregnant was allowed to attend the ceremony. If a person can claim faith through their judgements it is hard to disuade them or their followers because there is no science to faith. Being born again means saying goodbye to your un-christian acts without ever looking into the reasons behind them, hence carrying your idiosyncrasies along with you supproted by your new found faith. An exoneration through faith to do the strange things you do hence, James Dobsons son is out recruiting martyrs for their particular brand of faith and christian wrestling networks pop-up along with psycho anti-abortion people and people who compare Bush appointed judges to Nazism, the list goes on. Basically these people need a good pyschiatrist because there is alot of weird shit going on in their heads unfotunately Bush is one of these people.

BUSH LIED EVERYBODY CHECK YOUR BACKSIDE

Where do I start? There is so much B.S. I wonder what has happened? The non-partisian thing(I hope is true but more and more ideology is winning out) Bush LIED he put our soldiers in harms way and it does not bother him. This is a psychopath, it has been proven he lied about the Iraq War and he does'nt care. In this way the Repubs and their supporters have to be indicted because they DO NOT CARE. Our brave soldiers in which this administration has totally avoided fighting while these poor guys go out and get killed is treasonous. Bush used a devestating attack on our own country for him and his buddies to reap the profits. I dont care where your politics lie this is just disgusting! If the people on the Bush side who lie to get what they want can't fathom this then they are not human they are bought and paid for and they have cheated the American people of our despair. To use our collective cry of anguish for their own personal use is beyond disgusting it is treasonous , and they should pay lift your heads out of the sand and you have a party that used you for their own political gain and that makes me want to vomit. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I KNEW IT! IT"S BEEN NEWSWEEK ALL ALONG!

Enough is enough after all those Afghani subscribers recieved
their edition of Newsweek, sat down to tea flipped through six or
seven pages and saw that little three hundred word article about
the desecration of the Koran well all hell broke loose.Abu Ghraib didnt bother them and prisoner deaths didn't bother them, American Military bases being built in Afghanistan and Iraq didn't bother them,stories of the Koran being desecrated as far back as 2002 ahh no " I feel nothing" all these poor Afghani's wanted to do is sit back and read their fresh new copy of Newsweek. Never mind the fact that opium crops are the #1 job supplier and never mind the fact that their sun hardened brick houses have'nt been rebuilt and never mind the fact that the mule is still a good way to travel nooo, when an Afghani spends a years salary on a subscription to Newsweek they don't want to read bad news about the Koran or else they will riot. Oh yes a U.S. General stated a few days back that the riots had nothing to do with Newsweek! But gee why would the Busheviks try to mislead us surely they have never done that before, or have they?

BIZARRO WORLD

Hey welcome to the exact opposite of logical thinking.
Welcome to a world where everything you know about common
sense is TOTALLY WRONG.

Lesson #1: When going to war it is best to make tax cuts so the people that pay the highest rate of tax can have a little breathing room. Now that extra yacht is within your sites!

Lesson #2: If you dont have enough troops in the field of battle and recruitment numbers are down shut down military bases that way the money you save can be directed to faith based iniatives. The New Life church in Colorado Springs has declared war on every religion known to man except the practitioners at said church. They need a huge amount of Bibles and crosses(guns to, after all this is war) to perform their modern day inquisition.

Lesson #3: If the lepers get mad or upset because somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 million dollars has disappeared in the country where you have claimed victory four times well then just stick your fingers in your ears and pretend like you can' hear them.

WHITE HOUSE UNDER ATTACK!!!WHERE"S W?

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/
Hey here's something kinda strange, the white house is under
attack evacuate everybody!!! Where is the Prez? He is off riding
his bike in the majestic wilderness of Md. Should we inform him?
Nah we'll tell him after everything is over. HUH? The Veep was
evacuated along with his wife and Laura. So our dear Prez really
is just a conduit for the movers and shakers in D.C. He apparently
has nothing to offer when the country is under attack. Or maybe
the White House people just didn't want to ruin his communion with
nature. The above link is McLellan breifing the press( strangely absent from TV).

BUSH WILTS UNDER GREENHOUSE GASES

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1593607,00.html

Here it is folks the smoking gun. If you need any more proof that the once noble title of President is now nothing but slang for whore you got it.
Click on the link read it and pass it on. How is Bush going to cover this up?

GOIN MORAL ON YOUR ASSS!

Moral values won the election right or maybe it was just fixed(kinda like WMD). I have been scanning a couple of these so called moralists and I have a new name for them, BOOBS. No we can't call them that cause they would start to salivate at the very mention of boobs thinking about milking Elsie's udders. Neal Horsley( God's disciple) out there among the unclean saving God's unborn admitted this week to having sexual relations with a mule when he was a young sexually promiscuis boy in Georgia(as if the South doesn't already have enough stereotypes).It's kinda funny but then I realize this guy is against abortion(thats why he has sex with mules they are sterile). Another Saint of moral values this week(The Mayor of Spokane,WA) also a Republican or keeper of the faith.Who made a point of continually passing anti-gay legislation is a closet Homosexual, giving jobs to gay escorts in the city of Spokane, escorts who he consorted with in a GAY manner. Whoa, there are alot of gay republicans and alot of very strange pro-life people. These are the types of people the Busheviks cater to.There is alot of anger and hate going around in this party. They do a good job of masking to the % who are sane, so why do people(Republicans) vote against their best interests? I watched a documentary a few years ago about the anti-abortion people.Unfortunately they were not very let's say SANE.One gentleman decided to castrate himself! What that has to do with abortion I don't know.What that has to do with morals well the guy has some problems. These are the people that the Busheviks give a voice. So I dcree we call the Repubs the Sado- Masichists. These are the guys who like to be tied up and have a woman whip them on the ass while screaming out " Oh Mommy HARDER!" They have something wrong in their brain and I say we should let Texas cecede from the union, good riddance. Let Mexico have em they can fulfill their fantasies in the dusty streets with the little brown woman,"Harder Mommy, Harder!"

A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS(VERY UNUSUAL)

Watching the Brits grill PM candidates in a town hall style meeting(or what Bush would call " A meeting with a vetted group who have no inclination to ask me any questions about the truth.") was totally astonishing. On BBC(government owned) TV last weel Tony Blair along with the two other candidates were completely grilled. At one point one of the crowd actually called Blair a liar to his face, another woman said he should resign! What did Blair do? He sat there and responded to the questions, he did not evade or spew out gobbledygook, there were no goons rushing out of the shadows to take the questioners away. Blair sat there and responded to all questions, I dont like his politics but give the guy credit he is a real politician. I sat there watching and wondering how long Bush would last,not long, in fact he probably would have faked an illness and left the stage wondering why people had questions on anything other than how strong,pro-family and pro-jesus he is. The Daily Show had a great take on one hand showing Blair getting grilled and on the other hand showing a woman in a town hall saying to Bush," I think you are a wonderful President!" WOW

EVOLUTE BABY!!

" The belief in natural selection must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations. When we descend to details ... we cannot prove that a single species has changed; nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory."
-C. Darwin

" As a theory, natural selection makes no unique predictions but instead is used retrospectively to explain every outcome; and a theory that explains everything in this way explains nothing."
-R. Milton

" If an animal is dull in color, it is claimed that it survived because of camoflauge. On the other hand, if the animal is brightly colored, its survival is attributed to increased sexual attractiveness or that the color served as a warning to enemies."
-Donald E. Tyler

So where in the hell does that leave us. The answer seems to be unknowable the Bible is not a literal history and Science is a little wishy washy on the subject. Maybe its just some species survive due to luck. When the next volcano or tsunami comes and wipes out a species is that survival of the fittest or survival of the luckiest?
