So, I wake up early one morning recently; as usual, my wife’s already awake and has MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” babbling on the TV. In the thinning fog of my fading Rapid Eye Movement state I hear Barack Obama telling us how he plans to continue upholding the corporate/military agenda, after which I can just make out some unhinged rightist nutcake denouncing John McCain for being too Liberal. A gaggle of pundits ranging from tepid centrist to shrieking fascist have a bitching, shouting argument over who’ll do the best job of bombing and torturing for the next four years. One pundit calls McCain a closet Liberal, another calls Obama a Socialist, and I think: jeezus, it’s too goddamn’ early for this shit. It’s only 7am, and my brain is already hurting.
Then, I realize that this has been going on for over a year and will continue until November, and I think, “oh, Jeezus, no. Please. Somebody, stop this goddamn’ torture. Somebody make it stop. Somebody, anybody — make…it…STOP…!”

Remember Our MIAs!
And so, another year has gone, and it’s fitting, I think, for us to remember The Missing, the MIAs. At every challenge to the Constitution and Liberty, The Missing were…MIA. When the time came to stand and fight for what was right, the MIAs were Missing, but not forgotten. Even today, with Freedom on attack from all sides, you can count on The Missing to be…MIAs. So, now, let us pause and Remember The Missing.
Indeed, remember the MIAs, so that they may never be forgotten, especially for those of you planning on participating in the next “election” — if they think they “don’t have the votes” now, just wait until next November. That’s right, November, ten months away — ten…long…MONTHS.
Hillary Answers the Tough Ones!
Yet another awake-too-early morning finds my wife once again flipping between early-morning news programs at 6:30am, and landing on CNN’s “American Morning” shitfest which, this particular morning, was running highlights of the previous evening’s Donkeycratic Party “debate”. Needless to say, of course, I emerged from my REM daze just in time to hear that chirpy, gushy college girl asking Hillary Clinton if she preferred “diamonds or pearls?” to which Her Hillaryship answered — in classic Clintonian fashion, “I like both”…
So, as usual, I’m waking up one morning last week to find that my wife already has the morning news on. It’s CNN’s “American Morning”, just wrapping up a piece on the rebellion in Burma, and following it with one of those obnoxious, cloying Chevron Oil “human energy” ads and, though way too early, my foggy brain starts going “Burma… Chevron… Burma… Chevron… ” …and, as usual, a train wreck of dissonant ideas in my early-morning REM state causes inspiration…
More on Chevron’s involvement in Burma from the “Oil Change” Web site.
