...and the band played on...?

the talk of the day is about the attempts in congress to eliminate the filibuster. this is yet another vicious attack on our constitution! doesnt anybody see this!? george bush says its for the purpose of maintaining a show of 'majority rule'. what?!? the constitution does not talk about majority rule. ANYWHERE!!! it speaks of protecting the minority from the majority. it talks of checks and balances. it talks of freedoms for the citizens of this nation. but lil george obviously did not read the constitution. he was too busy skipping class and getting dopped up. [i cant blame him, for i did much the same thing...but im not the friggin president!] in his tenure in office, little georgy bush jr has toppled or fucked with those three things so dear to myself and others. those things i could always think about and say, "goddamn, im glad to be an american!"
but its getting harder and harder. my one true joy left is my constitutional RIGHT to bad mouth my government with every dirty word in my vocabulary. my parents think that 'it will all be over soon. he only has a few more years and he's out of office'...MY GOD!!! thats what they said about HITLER! in his first term as president he took our enviromental laws back to the 70's, took our country to war, had the US expelled out of the GENEVA CONVENTION, brought back a reagan-style deficit, eliminated 15% of our civil liberties, and all by getting into office by CHEATING!!! in 3 more years, who knows what he could do! and lets not think that the Bush is the only one running the show. his pappy and rumsfield have had this whole idea mapped out since Iran-Contra and Ollie North. the republicans are not going to let go of the white house so easily. bush I got in after 8 years of reagan. and if a democrat does get into office, the republicans will spend the following 4 years nit-picking the lucky-shmuck about every little thing. making private affairs public. bush II has already over turned every major piece of legislation that the clinton administration was able to get thru between congressional hearings and inquiries. whereas the bush II administration ducks behind a veil of nationalsim whenever they are questioned about thier actions...another nazi-ish tie-in. there are documents KNOWN to have be seen atleast as high up as rumsfield detailing the torture of prisoners, there is question about bush I & II's ties to the saudi's---including bin laden's own family!, there are documents questioning bush II's time in the AIR-fucking-NATIONAL-GUARD, and the ultimate question: where's the friggin' weapons of mass destruction he was so sure saddam was working on??? not to mention what the fuck did iraq have to do with 9/11 anyway? werent they mostly saudi's???why arent we bombing Riyadh???
no, the democrats are to prissy to resort to the republican way of fighting, which is dirty. i hear they [the democrats] are going to gettogether and 'reorginize'...i also hear that they will get a little more conservative in an effort to win back the white house...
what a bunch of friggin meat-heads!
prior to the last election i wrote a letter to the democratic national comitee in which i begged them to stop leaning left in an effort to win the bastards who sit on the fence...who pander to both sides. they [the DNC] always do that! they are so afraid of seeming too radical! or too liberal! fuck! so was John Lennon! so was JFK! so was George Washington!!! every person who has been deemed to leftist for conventional politics is a friggin' model of what i consider to be great.

dot dot dot

i am running out of breath and my head is starting to hurt. i feel like the america i grew up in, that flagship of freedom! -has been taken away from me. i have read what i could of both the USAPatriot Acts [...in case you didnt know, number II went through about a year after number I, with less fanfare but more damaging...] and about 20-25% of American Civil Liberties were shelved on behalf of 'national security'. i also feel that those of you in the 'heartland' of America are to blame, along with the under 20 year olds [who just didnt bother showing up on election day]. you citizens who live between the Rockies and the Appalachian's...who voted for Bush II despite everything we knew after 2000...drink up while you can. your ground water is polluted with mercury, your children are dying in a foriegn country, your health care has been given away to illegal residents, and your rights have been removed. america has been defiled, our grandfather's weep. the squatter in the white house is using the constitution to wipe his ass and he's laughing his odd-shaped-head off.

salivating waiting for a phone call
hesitating baby not at all
opinions are for suckers to be swallowed like lemons
shot thru the mouth of some wide angle camera
spooned into hungry mouths baby force-feed
spell out a problem with some paper clips
drop me a line grrrl if you got a sec
im laying down by the railway station
waiting for just one thing
the enivitable
the crushing defeat but it never comes
and instead i find im sleeping beside her
wearing nothing but our clothes
no barriers or problems that cant be dealt with, words
that can set us free
dining on the greatness of you and what you are in my eyes
my opinion
which the only other thing i give two fucks about.
