Recap

George W. Bush is in the Men’s Room reviewing his reign so far:

“Now let’s see where we’ve come, what we’ve accomplished…

• We got elected, by the Supreme Court;
• We got bombed by 19 crazy Arabian towel heads, so we invaded Iraq;
• We said there were weapons of mass destruction, but there weren’t any;
• We declared victory on board an American aircraft carrier, and now Muslim terrorists have taken over the country;
• We said Social Security was broke, but it wasn’t;
• We tried to convince the American people anyway that the only way to fix it was to throw their hard-earned money away on Wall Street, but they didn’t buy it;
• We reorganized our national and international emergency and security organizations under an umbrella called “homeland security,” but when a category four hurricane hit us the umbrella collapsed
• We have run up the biggest national budget deficit in history, over $330 billion so far, but what the heck, who’s counting?

What’s next? Who the fuck knows; it’s scary. At least we’ve run up oil prices to record levels, so all those suburban SUVs out there are just pouring money into my pockets.”

Infilterate

The ultimate lure of the naïve
The native sons whose lofty mission
Makes them feel more guilty than
Those they have come to destroy
In the name of freedom wringing
Liberation for all mankind

A simple ruse to come as true
A familiar face in friendly guise
Who would know who would think
Certainly not the innocent and
The knights would never dream
Blinded by subliminal surprise
Too bright to even surmise

But wouldn’t you if you wanted to bleed
Those who are to be served and saved
By those who preach and teach
The golden rule at home and school
Say blend in just a little as they would
See you as them and answer yes sir

In the end it all just begins to stir
A heady brew perhaps or a just dessert
That no one knew they’d be the clones
To kill the ones they said they loved
And turn the tables upside down
And in and out so now who knew
Who was who or where or when
Or what it was or even why

[On August 25, 2005, the news carried reports of insurgents who impersonated friendly Iraqi forces in unifoms they purchased at an army surplus store and then swept through town killing citizens they thought were unfriendly to them while American forces looked on without doing anything because they too were fooled by the masquerade.]

Help

September 1, 2005
Who is running this country anyway? That is, who is in charge of making things run, or in the case of Katrina, for example, getting help to those who need it desperately? Apparently, nobody, or at least nobody seems to know who is supposed to do what or what it is they should do even to find out what to do and who to do it. A sergeant in the army would know what to do. I was in the army; I know what to do. It’s called airdrop. If you can’t get there by truck, or you’re too chicken shit because a desperate soul fired a gun, fly in the C47s and the choppers. These people simply need food and water now. Fly over and drop MREs and water by parachute, for Christ’s sake. Just throw it out there, where they can get it. We (and I use that word advisedly) can kill women and children in Iraq, no problem, but we can’t save women and children here in our own country. How sad, how pathetic is that? Wake the fuck up Washington. Wake the fuck up Pentagon. Wake the fuck up and smell your own dirty bleeding assholes. Then fucking do something. When you stop and think about it, it’s scary. Our government can’t handle this? What would they do in a real homeland security catastrophe? It’s enough to make you want to get the fuck out of here now.
