Leaving behind a treacherous government now addicted to perpetual war, its limitlessly greedy and power-lusting masters, as well as the retarded albeit smirky Republicans and their evermore clonish Democrat colleagues, a braindead electorate incapable of recognizing its own best interests, the hypocritical Christians who '"support our troops," and the tiresome, sloganeering and feckless activist-hobbyists, as well as those who profit from their plastic morality -- I now repair to my Jungle Home amidst the giant palmettos on a dirt road running east from the Gulf coast that neither the US Mail nor school buses dare assay, and there to gain the more decent and trustworthy company of the indigenous sand tortoises and rattlesnakes.

Bowing to Our Masters

Obama is smarter than Bush Jr, and a better tap dancer. The results for the electorate and humanity are, however, lamentably similar. We need to get off the two-party entrapment and the "lesser-evil" no-real-choice bait.

Boston Bombings: Authentic Terrorism or Reaction Engineering?

With airplanes crashing into skyscrapers, a bomb discovered in an airline passenger's jockey briefs, and now the massacre at the Boston marathon -- can we afford to be unduly concerned about such quaint old constitutional artifacts as the Bill of Rights?

Help Needed -- America is Dying!
SHARE More Sharing
Be advised political partisans: The National Defense Authorization Act supports military policing of civilians, warrantless and indeterminate detention, extreme rendition, torture and assassination. It will be administered by your Democrat President and his largely Republican staff, as authorized by a Democrat majority Senate (93 to 7 in favor) and a Republican majority House.
