"From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly until my wet fur froze.

Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life,

I woke up to black flak and the nightmare fighters.

When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose."

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner by Randall Jarrell (first published in 1945)





"It's hard work, heh-heh-heh, it's hard work..." George Walker Bush RW extremist unelected war criminal and terrorist aka the War President; the Decider, is "practicing" to "deliver" a "heh-heh-heh" "decision" to the world tonight.

Whatever George Walker Bush "announces", just as everything his administration has done since he was installed, is treason.

Anyone agree with me?

1. I Can Tell You One Thing,
that is a great poem. Sounds familiar, but it never really struck me before.

3. When I read the propaganda from the Decider's perception managers
promising "poetic" whatever tonight after all these years of tyranny and darkness, well "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" still says it all for me.

2. I think a war criminal President who violates every law he wants
is treasonous, yes

4. It's the truth-there's no more fear about stating it, debating it or delaying doing
something about it. I sincerely hope your husband and all other members of OUR armed forces are safe and refuse illegal orders.

5. I wonder if the Decider likes war criminal Rumsfeld's poetry?
