In the councils of government

A little woozy today

must have been something i ate

inside joke

but not to drugged and fatigued to write

listening to the news on the radio again

heard a mom talking about hard times

she did not have enough money to

buy her teen-aged daughters a coat for winter

she started to cry on air

i had to laugh out loud

i just bought a fleece vest for 75 cents

pretty nice, name brand

i wonder if the newly poor people have figured out

how to shop at the yard sales

i guess they will, or be cold this winter

this lady is in houston

i have shopped at a lot of yard sales

and the several flea markets in houston

plenty of good coats for less than 5 bucks

plenty

then I heard about this “well know activist’ who torched

himself

not a building

not a military site

himself

radio said they were not sure what he was protesting

maybe he was cold

I wonder if the girls from houston could

warm themselves on his flames

didn’t know what he was protesting!

should have stayed alive and helped to

pick up some trash

lifetimes worth of work there

some people make a mess

some people clean messes up

listening to butthole surfers now

sort of makes me cynical

library lady said I was stealing music

when I down load it into my computer

i’ll turn myself in to the nearest policeman

politics much in the news

squirmin’ herman k.o.’d

the newtster making enemies in his own camp

read this quote and thought of the newt

“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses a lamp post-

for support rather than illumination.” Andrew Lang

and mitt

what was that ten grand bet thing about

hey, mitt, you look ridiculous if you

think the 99 percent can relate to your

privileged rich up-bringing and life style

and I think mormons aren’t supposed to bet

“We are never made as ridiculous through the qualities

we have as through those we pretend to have.” La Rochefoucauld

check your pockets citizens

just lost a bit of change

did you notice

662 billion bucks for the new defense budget

that’s a lot of education

or a lot of environmental help

are we stupid or what

the only country that wants to invade us has done so

get over it

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic process. We should take nothing for granted.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower (1961)

off to the comfort!?
