An erstwhile Philosopher and sometime Educator, Jerry Tenuto is a veteran of seven years service in the U.S. Army. He holds a BS and MA in Broadcast Communications from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. For two decades Jerry filled the airwaves with rock, roll and banter as a disc jockey -- until greed, the rebirth of payola, and de-Reaganlation ruined that medium. Depending upon your taste in political stew, you can either blame or thank Jerry for his weekly "Out Of The Blue" feature in THE LONE STAR ICONOCLAST, Crawford, Texas, www.LoneStarIcon.com -- because somebody from that community has to do the world right.

OH, GROW UP, AMERICA The first theatrical Hollywood movie dramatizing a 9/11/2001 event will be released this week. Some theatres have pulled the trailer due to a few patron complaints that it's too soon to see on the big screen. Such inability to handle to handle reality dishonors those brave passengers of "UNITED 93" while it bolsters the fear terrorist leaders of al Qaeda and the Republican Party.

NO NEED TO FRET... RUMMY'S NOT CONCERNED Grandpappy Donny Rumsfeld recently took his two young charges, Petie Pace and Johnny Abizaid, on a trip to visit with a Senate committee up on Capitol Hill. By the time the day was done, all three of them probably wished they had gone to Baghdad or Kabul or Haifa... anywhere else instead of this forum.

THE PUPPET LOOKS NEW, THE ROUTINE HASN'T CHANGED Recently, Herr Oberst Karl Rove, Lord Overseer of the Republican Party, Architect of the Neo-Conservative Dictatorship, and Supreme Ruler of the United States of Amerika, rolled out for all to see a new, less bristling King George XLIII. It didn't take long for the six-guns to come out of their holsters and start blazin' away...

CAN’T BULLY THE CHICKS FROM DIXIE "OUT OF THE BLUE" -- Despite inane country music radio station owners and DJs, and fans, none of whom have the vaguest concept of "Freedom of Expression," The Dixie Chicks continue to dominate the charts. And, "Big Bully" Bill O'Reilly is wrong most of the times he opens his piehole, but rarely more so than when spouting off about the military.

A LETTER TO THE KING "Out Of The Blue" -- Since King George XLIII thinks it's perfectly acceptable to listen in on our telephone conversations and read our e-mails, then we are well within our rights to read his mail...

Jerry Tenuto: "Out Of The Blue" The Bush Regime cannot be trusted for five seconds to do anything it promises. So why would the American Israel PAC become bedfellows with the likes of Dick Cheney and John Bolton?

KING GEORGE'S 9/11 TOUR – 2006 EDITION We have nothing to fear but... the very people who keep insisting we should be afraid. You know, that same gang of brave individuals who never ventured beyond our Nation's boundaries during the entirety of the VietNam War, then in 2000 stole our Government out from under us.

A BASEBALL DREAM 2006 There's one thing we have here in the good ol' USA that brings millions of people together from Spring through Fall. And we don't stop talking about it all Winter. We've done a great job of exporting it around the World so far -- maybe we need to try it out on Mid Easterners...

ONWARD CHRISTIAN LEADERS Jerry Tenuto: OUT OF THE BLUE -- Despite what too many of our elected and not-quite-elected public officials might think, we citizens of the United States are not all of the Christian variety, or believers in a supreme being at all. It is one of our "certain unalienable rights." Still, without checks and balances these ideologues would turn our Government into a theocracy. Or is this just a ruse to sway the Religious Right?

THAT WHICH THINKING PEOPLE FEAR Keeping the electorate afraid is how Herr Oberst Karl Rove has managed to overturn our Governmental system of checks and balances... along with a some help from a few well-placed GOP state officials and voting machines. Just how real is that fear, and are folks still buying into it?

FDR AND THE "KING" Jerry Tenuto: "Out Of The Blue" -- At the onset of his administration, Franklin Delano Roosevelt said we only had to fear "fear itself." He never imagined fear would emanate directly from the Oval Office.

SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE! SHAKE YER WEST WING! Herr Karl Rove has been the man behind the curtain in the merry old land where George W. Bush's brain has been in storage for the past 30 years. The deception of a well-publicized West Wing game of musical offices can't alter the fact that "Turd Blossom" is still pushing the buttons, only now from a supersecret location.

EVEN IN DAYLIGHT, CHENEY BRINGS THE DARK "OUT OF THE BLUE" -- On June 22, 2006, Dark Lord the Dick Cheney crawled out of his lair for a non-interview on the veranda in sunlight. Amazingly, and contrary to what many believed what would happen, he did not turn to dust. His answers, however, surprised no one.

KING GEORGE, WE'RE TAKIN' OUR COUNTRY BACK In "Magnum Force" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) stated to the young vigilante cops that he would continue to uphold the "system" until somebody came along with a better one. Well, the system that has been subjected upon us by Rove, Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld and their thugs is a far cry from an improvement. We cannot allow ourselves to be submissive for another two-and-a-half years.

FOOTBALL IS LIFE? BAH! HUMBUG! Jerry Tenuto: OUT OF THE BLUE -- We should all beware of the goose pimples rising all over our skin, and the hairs standing up on the napes of our necks, when a Jewish organization such as AIPAC consorts with the likes of the Dick Cheney. Especially when his speech contains nothing more than a call to arms against Iran.

I DON'T BLAME JESUS FOR "CHRISTIAN" POLITICIANS Jerry Tenuto: OUT OF THE BLUE -- Our Nation's Forefathers were wise enough, and had their fill of religious overkill, to expressly forbid the co-mingling of theism with governmental operations. Here in the 21st Century, when we should be far more enlightened than they were in the 18th, a number of elected and no-so-elected officials have our Nation teetering dangerously on the precipice of theocracy.

OH, IF HE'D JUST GO AWAY The week of April 11, 2005 this column appeared in THE LONE STAR ICONOCLAST and at www.lonestaricon.com in which I expressed my wish, accompanied by some of Tom DeLay's greatest hits, that he would leave Congress. It took a year, but thankfully my wish has now been granted.
