Sarah McLachlan is a beautiful human being. I have admired her music, her angelic voice, her beauty, and her compassion since her very first album. Listen to her today as the bombs fall on Lebanon, as the slaughter continues in Iraq, as the innocent die in Darfur, as lives are swept away in Indonesia, as children are enslaved all over the Third World, as mothers watch their babies starve to death…and as our President vacations in Crawford while his Secretary of State flies to Italy to buy some new shoes.
Please help me carry the water today. It is very heavy today and I feel especially weak.

Since I is a friend and you are feelin weakly, I will boost yor spirits, boy….:)
First of all, do you see ol’ GW a’bellyachin and carryin on?:-?
I dont thank so!
He sez, “bring em on” and grabs them Germans by the shoulders and back rubs them into submission!
Ol GW is happier than a pig in shit aint he? That is what brangin democracy to the wurld does for ye….it is energizin…that is why them thar troops can do three four, even five rotations in Iraq, cuz they can smell the freedom in the air (it smells kind of like phosphorus and burning flesh)8-|
Dont thank of those bombs a’fallin in Lebanon as bombs!
Thank of them like GW does!
They aint bombs…they is bombportunities!\:d/
Fer example if you wuz a Lebaneezer and you wanted to be a doctor, jez thank of all the practice you could git…
Or if’n you wuz one of them thar folks what build buidlings….thank of the work to be done after Israel finishes installin wall ta wall freedom all around the place!
As an added bonus, jez sit back and reflect on our helpin in all of it! We GIVE them thar weapons ta Israel jez fer bein God’s chosen people (I mean besides us Christians- he is going to kill all the Jews when he comes back….what is takin him so long? Dont He realize that the world aint gonna latch on ta Richard Lewis’ slavish Woody Allen stchick?):-”
Iraq aint no slaughter…it is democracy on th’ march son! You cant make a Halliburton omelat without the blood of innocent Iraqis and a billion missing US dollars! Plus, they did the 9/11 so they should pay…:-?
Them Children aint enslaved in the third world!…They is EMPLOYED! Jez imagine all them little Donald Trumps a’ lurnin the value of 1/10th of a cent!
Why do you try to hold them back with the soft bigotry of low expectations? They aint gonna lurn nothin in schools boy! I know I shore didnt…tham teachers go on with thar numbers and ciphers and blah blah blah…it makes my head hurt….all I need ta know is what GW tells me…:o
And You thank ol GW dont need a break? First of all he aint takin no break…has you ever seen how much brush piles up on his ranch? He is out thar a choppin and a hackin, gittin that brush like it was a tin horn dictator…
As far as Rice and her shoes go, has you ever seen her feet? She is doin us a favor coverin up those stomnpers….Her pigeon toes keep a peckin her corns!
Mash, Take yor lemons and make high yield plutonium out of them so we can pre-emptively strike those that would harm our freedoms!
If we had struck Iraq in 1777 then we wouldnt be thar right now would we? That is th kind of logic speakin at ya that ye cant lurn in a school!
Good luck bloggin fer torture…Even I dont support torture that much Mash….you shore are one sick feller….I will go waterboard myself in support of the blog-a-thon…Otha says I stink anyway and it is that time of the week…:)>-

ISRAEL USING AMERICAN WEAPONS TO CARRY OUT ITS WAR
http://prorev.com/mideast.htm
snip:
THALIF DEEN, INTER PRESS SERVICE - Israel is in violation of U.S. arms-control laws for deploying U.S.-made fighter planes, combat helicopters, and missiles to kill civilians and destroy Lebanon’s infrastructure in the ongoing six-day devastation of that militarily weak country. . . “Section 4 of the [U.S.] Arms Export Control Act requires that military items transferred to foreign governments by the United States be used solely for internal security and legitimate self-defense,” says Stephen Zunes, professor of politics at the University of San Francisco. “Since Israeli attacks against Lebanon’s civilian infrastructure and population centers clearly go beyond legitimate self-defense, the United States is legally obliged to suspend arms transfers to Israel,” Zunes told IPS. . .

Jeremiah, you make some excellent points as always. Thanks for cheering me up! :”>
Thank you for your support of torture! You’re a good man (I mean, ninja).
*grins*, all pretense of being an honest broker is gone now.
