Patriotism

    I recently went out with Sacramento River Partners and picked up trash alongside Chico River Road. It wasn't as nasty as you might imagine, I learned that at least one area couple practiced safe sex at least once.
   One element of the debris was worthy of notice and comment:
   America's favorite beverage manufacturer , Anhauser/Busch puts their flagship product, Budweiser, into Fourth-of-July themed red, white and blue cans. Thirsty patriotic Americans suck these things down like cheap lies, then they throw Old Glory out the window of their vehicle (Whadyoubet it's a truck), no doubt some of these guys will set cans up on a log and use them for target practice.
   Makes me proud of my fellow Americans.

The War on Terror is an Error

          If I were a terrorist

                    I wouldn’t fool ‘round

          With improvised bombs

                   Out on the ground

          I’d drop them from planes

                   Just like the pros

          And if there’s a crowd

                   I’d send in the drones

          If I were a terrorist

                   I’d read all the mail

          I’d hear all the phone calls

                   So I won’t fail

          To find all the bad guys

                   And make sure they pay

          For having the nerve

                   To ruin my day

          If I were a terrorist

I’d kill all the Jews

          The Moslems and Christians

                   Maybe the Druze

Pagans and Skeptics

                   Will fall in the dust

          The voice of my God

                   Tells me I must

          If I were a terrorist

                   I’d shoot from the hip

          I’d do it in style

                   Make killing look slick

          I’d ban all the books

                   That say murder is sin

          With teachings like that

                   I’d never fit in

          I am not a terrorist

                   And I hope you agree

          That violence is vicious

                   Not for the Free

          Killing is killing

                   No matter the cause

          It can’t be excused

                   It won’t change the Laws

Mish mash

I’m raking in the cash

Pooh pooh

Run run

Cry cry

Somebody will die

Danger danger

Here comes another stranger

Clip clop

We have to stay on top

More! More!

Time for a war

Tea Party Nonsense

When responsible Tea Party members and their Republican standard bearers disavow the cruel, disingenuous, and unchristian sentiments expressed by the characters quoted in this animation, I will agree that a “broad brush” has been used to demonize all Tea Partiers. Until then, I must confess that I enjoyed this “animated” response to the trash talk that infects my email account and pollutes the airways.
