Letter From the Future

how did things go in '08?
did you save the earth?
did children all get health care?
did you find what life is worth?

were you likened to a traitor
because you asked questions?
did you keep on training soldiers
to kill and kill again?

were your votes all of them counted
or did they stop you at the polls?
did you try to live so freely
but in the end did you diebold? Read below the fold...

Bill O'Reilly Unveils New Line of Neckties


A casual elegance, appropriate for both day and evening wear...

AUTHOR'S NOTE: What had been in this space (now occupied by my updated comment) was an image of an African American who had been lynched--he was seen hanging from a rope. At least one reader wrote in to Lambert to complain about the image. My position was that we need to see reality if we are to confront reality--no disrespect to the dead or the living. To not face what is hard and difficult is a path of denial, a path that leads us nowhere. Anyway, Photobucket removed the image, and as usual without any explanation. mjs--9/2/09

Bill O'Reilly's Low Hanging Fruit Stand

And the winner for the biggest fucking Freudian-slipping, preternaturally racist idiot in America is...Bill O'Reilly!

Maybe if Jesus was running for president, and someone suggested he had thrown a conniption fit at the market, O'Reilly would have said 'well, I wouldn't crucify him until all the facts were in...' and then he'd be off to Home Depot for nails and wood.

I humbly suggest that O'Reilly...never mind.

Crow Mother

when the crow mother arrived
all things arrived

when the crow mother departed
all things departed

she will not fit in your jar
nor will she fly out of your head
she will, however, stand alone
waiting

the crow mother ignores the sea birds
and eats the crabs
and keeps her back to the land
and pauses, waits, proceeds Read below the fold...

A Bomb Song For To Get Along

You Are the B0mb

you saved me from kent state
you kept my union strong
your patriotism paid
just tryin' to get laid
how can anything go wrong?

you have saved me from grenada
you have steered me clear in guam
you shot 'em dead
you're welcome, fred
without a doubt, you are the bomb

oh, baby, you are the bomb
boom boom, you are the bomb
bombs away
come this summertime
there will be hell to pay
baby...
you are the bomb Read below the fold...
