The big picture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The big picture started small for the eldest son
He started with a magnifying glass and ants
fsst pop
Frogs and firecrackers BANG
Then he progressed to setting nests on fire
CHEEPCHEEPCHEEP
Then a cats tail
EEEeaaaaooow
A dog caught a dart in the ribs
OOOWOOwowo
You knew him in school and how he tortured kids
please don't please don't...
His anger was fierce and sudden.
No one thought it strange.
Everyone knew he's no boy scout.
They'd say boys will be boys.
Only the price of their toys change.
Promotion was never in doubt.
Despite being AWOL from the Air Force.
His finger's now on the button,
Life has gone full circle.
Its as if he's back to frying ants.
Many admire savagery
No one dares call it sadism.
We call it duty
and patriotism.
At Yale he renounced every boy scout pledge
to be trusted with the big picture.
No boy scout could do what's expected of a commander.
The big picture was about national security,
not the individual life, liberty or justice.
The power to ignore the constitution
and allow only business to decide.
The big picture made him a bigger man than he was.
The intoxicating power of the big picture
came with the wave of a fork at dinner to trigger a killing
a cool internalized thrill
to play by no rules
but your own in a company
that eats their own.
That eats nations and the earth.
The big picture goes beyond genocide
it goes beyond mile high glaciers
that will again one day cover NY.
It goes beyond right or wrong.
It is a proud elite dynasty
that snigger in secrecy
about their latest coup
or about their latest war
The worst kept secret
is how savagely
dumb they are.
Professional liars
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It use to be a lie was finessed.
Many devices were employed
but today the liars are bolder
since opposition is destroyed.
Shootings were quick and easy
But disease is another way
to protect the biggest lie
and bury the truth yesterday.
Its enough to make you cry
hearing murderers say
"we will protect you"
when you know there is no way.
Breaking eggs
Today they rounded up 500 muslims in LA
The new patriot law requires registration.
The number arrested and taken away
is a secret to secure our nation.
The republican said almost apologetically
"You have to break a few eggs to make an omlette"
I told him
"Soon many more will begin to disappear.
Of course they won't come for you.
You have nothing to fear.
When they start coming door to door
you can tell them you obey the new regs
and where your neighbors are hiding.
As you say its only eggs
A Taste of Paradise (fast Irish Jig)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chicago White Sox are all wearing black socks.
Right to lifers want lifers to die.
Once we were free we again fear small pox.
Its 90 in April and 50 July.
Courts elect Bush who was in detox.
When were all upside down its hard to survive.
Leaders are punished for small acts of love.
We pay people to bomb just so we can drive.
Like father like son when push comes to shove.
The true evil doers all wear a disguise.
When things get real tough the brave run and hide.
We hope to profit by believeing the lies.
We'll trade our tommorrows and grandchildren's lives.
to taste paradise before we all die.
Sometimes the world seems like a big backwards mess
like J Edgar Hoover in a red dress.
A quick and easy sell
Hatred is a quick and easy sell for most plain folks.
Its us or them.
Its US Its US, every time.
Whatever side you're on
you had to be carefully taught.
This holiday some of you will be attending religious events
listening to the message of peace and hope for the world
but most of you are anticipating war.
Peace on Earth, good will toward men
never was and will never be
So lets kill those that don't agree.
The US invasion of Iraq will be the capper to the Super Bowl.
Cocked and locked, locked and loaded
TV puts a proud face on the killing with maps and animations.
All the left publications and radio stations bought up by multi billionaires will dillute the tributaries of common sense with fluff.
Ann Coulter will shout down those who miss the bill of rights.
But we will have more oil, religious fervor and fights.
Cable TV with 100 stations and no reporters
every single night.
Be careful not to lose your "grain of salt"...
it is tiny,
dissolves in BS
and, for some, vaporizes
at the invocation of the word of god

The price of gas
went up two pints
over the usual one pint
of blood per gallon.
Without speed pass
I have to make 2 round trips
to pay first and get my change.
What is the price of gas in Mecca?
Usama's Mercedes dies of thirst
from a blown radiator hose.
click...We need to attack Iraq
the bald oilman crows.
The 3rd Reich's mythology
blamed the jews and intelligensia.
The supermen are to be praised
but no archeological proof could be raised.
Out back the grass is overgrown
I step on something that yells
"I am buzz light year"
"To infinity and beyond" were his last words.
New myths are spun on CNN
that few dare call a lie.
As if it depends on what you believe
to make nonsense fly.
Some guy from Indiana said
"after 9-11 I can see NYC
has humans
much like our own".
Government by religion
is quick to kill.
Even our region
has prayers of ill will.
The war fever in Atlanta
is cooled by another
Mariah Carey clone
winning the American Idol.
King to prince
father to son
cleric to God
"an old war has begun".
I have to leave it all behind
for the kids bed time story.
Maybe something from Dr. Seuss...
Old war, wild war, cold war, bio war...
I think God could use some advice.
He needs answers too.
I'm sure you'll grant he has free will
giving his experiments multiple outcomes.
If all you get are questions
and requests
you're bound to get
pissed off too.
I wish the kids would sleep
perchance to dream
meanwhile the small print
on MSNBC is a scream.
Now whats on
the Histrionic channel?
The Germans fall in line
behind a liar.

I get by with a little help
from Depends.
At least the dumbmercials
are getting better.
The 5 pillars of Isladenism
Islam according to terrorism theology
Ladenism- a religion of faith and lies
Ladenism, is founded on fibs and oft repeated phrases.
The 10 mantras:
1) "God is Great."
2) " Allah will help us destroy the infidels."
3) "We have to defend ourselves, donations and Jihad is the only way."
4) "Since September 11, We have shown the world we can win."
5) "We will fight until every Jew and Jew lover is removed from our historic land."
6) "Hero's die for Allah."
7) "We do not need anything from the West."
"Jews and the Bush administration 'let 9/11 happen."
9) " Islam is the one true faith."
10) "Weapons of mass destruction will save us!"
Every good lie has a speck of truth in it.
The dangers of Isladenism-ism:
The plodding US action is like an angry powerful fat guy
going up against Islamic judo experts.
The fat guy's own weight and momentum
will be used against him with such economy of movement
that the judo expert will win.
Proportionality limited the 5 planes destined to destroy American landmarks
and kill only a "few infidels".
Once an all out US attack on the middle east begins,
porportionality will be discarded.
5 planes could then be used with the grace of God
to crash into 5 Nuclear power plants -
rendering 90% of the inhabited US east coast unihabitable.
The fleeing exposed population could then be subjected to bio agents to continue God's work.
.............................................................................
Bushism - a religion of faith and lies
Bushism, is founded on fibs and oft repeated phrases.
The 10 commandments/mantras:
1) "George Bush is an intelligent and decent man."
2) "I have faith in our system of checks and balances."
3) "We have to defend ourselves, and WAR is the only way to do that."
4) "Since September 11, George Bush has shown strong leaderships skills."
5) "Europeans don't agree with us because they're effete appeasers."
6) "George Bush's administration is filled with solid, foreign policy pros."
7) "George Bush is doing an excellent job in the war on terror."
"People who say the Bush administration 'let 9/11 happen' are conspiracy nuts."
9) "The media is liberal."
10) "Saddam has weapons of mass destruction!"
Every good lie has a speck of truth in it so some of the above lies may appeal to you on the surface.
The dangers of Bushism:
The danger is that our current course of plodding action is like an angry powerful fat guy going up against a judo expert. The fat guy's own weight and momentum will be used against him with such economy of movement that the judo expert will win.
Borrowing from the Muslim double edged sword,
nuclear weapons will spell defeat for both racist religions
that strive to oppress freedom as they choose.
terrorism, bushism, oilism
ism's are never so alike as when we're at war.
Hearsay is now evidence
dissent is disloyalty
A lie is the truth
and hypocrisy
is piety
"Look at this picture of a site for WMD!"
In a land where perception is held in higher regard than facts
there is the belief that all things are possible
with the appropriate lie or change in language.
In the short run they are right.
In the long run once the tissue of lies becomes all wet,
the fabric falls apart.
psst, btw, the picture is of Mars.
