So, I guess it really does mean “Found On Road Dead”, huh? So, I’m chewing over the news of the mass layoffs at Ford recently, and I find myself asking the question that about a zillion other people in this country are asking, namely, “Is there any goddamn’ manufacturing being done at all in this goddamn’ country anymore?” and I suddenly realize, “Hell, yeah! There’s…”
And besides, think about it…you pull the patty out of the freezer, you throw it onto the grill, you throw the cheese on, you let it melt, you throw it onto a bun and wrap it in that funky foil wrap, and whammo! You’ve manufactured a burger! Now, quit whining and get me my fries.
Ahh, it’s “election” season once again! This one slammed head-on into my brain after reading little bits of Dubya’s speech on the Katrina anniversary, after seeing the montage of drowning victims in Spike Lee’s documentary, and after reading in various news reports that a year after the hurricane, corpses were still being found.
Poor Man’s F-16
So, a few mornings ago, I emerged from my REM fog to NBC video of Palestinian and Lebanese villages being crushed by tanks and missiles and F-16s and the sound of Matt Lauer yammering about Israel’s “right to defend itself”.
Who knows, maybe it was just the hour of the morning, or perhaps I was really and truly revulsed by Israel claiming a right to “defend itself” — by using tanks, missiles, and F-16s against already beaten-down, occupied territories in a country that’s got no imperialist power backing them up, got no tanks, got no Patriot missiles, got no F-16s, got no nukes — not to mention having no food, no water, no medicine, no services…

“Birth Pangs of a New Middle East”
Is it just me, or did Secretary Of Snake Condolee-ee-ee-eezza Rice make one of her weirdest statements ever last weekend — even weirder than that NBC “Today” interview where she said “freedom is on the march” about half a dozen times? Oh, and I love the part where she says that “We’re going through a very violent time.” “WE”? What do you mean “we”, white woman?
All in all, though, quite a bout of birth pangs, there; shame it couldn’t have been a more quiet, serene and peaceful birthing experience, like Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s baby.
