Editorials

i thought i'd write some snappy, witty little squib, liberally (ooooo .... there's that word again ..... liberal ..... ooooooo) laced with tasty expletives like "republican" and "christian" and "uniter" and "decider" and "assmuncher" ..... but as usual the world bypasses tasteful humor and mordant wit with yet another stunning debacle, another mind-numbing .... i can't even find the words for israel's bombing lebanon .....

before i talk about tour dates, let me just power boot some arterial blood into this here empty tequila bottle ..... oooooooooo ..... that's really messy, isn't it? and gosh, where to start?

i heard today that there's thousands of national guard troops patrolling the streets of new orleans because of some "teen" shooting deaths there ..... boy, that's a first: we never gave a shit about n*****rs shooting each other before ..... oh, i remember .... new orlean's gonna be a gated community, and you don't want any uppity darkies running around with firepower, no way ..... gotta say one thing about the bush: he's a uniter, not a divider .... why, i can't tell the difference between new orleans and baghdad, can you?

i'll try to be short and to the point today; i'm too busy puking blood, spatter-painting my foyer with arterial clots to write much .....

last week i wrote about how the nazis codified torture and mandated the presence of doctors at their gestapo "interrogations" .... today's associated press reports: "The U.S. military issued medical guidelines Tuesday for the treatment of prisoners, formally directing doctors at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere to force-feed hunger strikers whose lives are in danger and granting doctors a limited role in interrogations."
