Lance Armstrong’s back into the race!
Hard charging has won him first place.
But in “Tour de Scot”
Old Dubya is not,
Seems fantasy has left palms effaced.
(Four more after the fold, plus more)
In London a bomb has exploded,
As illusions of security are eroded,
Will Prime Minister Blair,
In a fit of despair,
Leave G-8 to AmBush and imploded?
As Dennis barrels down on Jamaica,
Pause to think, it will certainly make ya.
With Global Warming insured,
We will have to endure,
These denizens in concerted troika.
Sandra O’Connor we’ll never forget,
Her life story, inspiration, kismet.
But the irony here,
Is the party of fear,
Now considers her immoderate.
Judy Miller is headed to jail,
To defend the First Amendment assail,
Is she protecting Karl Rove,
With his face turning mauve?
And his defense that “I did not inhale.”
Could this logo be the greatest Freudian slip in advertising and propaganda history? I apologize if someone has thought of this and documented it before, but this is the logo for a DOD offshoot website called America Supports You . This is it, in various presentations, and the black one is straight off a jacket being worn by Donald Rumsfeld at the NASCAR Pepsi 400 on July 2.
Now, I have been accused of being not entirely wound right, and it’s probably true… but… I’ve seen all these support ribbons and such, and I was having a little trouble deciphering this one. I was particularly cognitively dissonant to the black one on Rummy’s jacket… I was asking myself, `what in the heck is that stylized little white dangly thingie in the middle of the ribbon… In retrospect, I finally got it, and realized that it was supposed to represent a dogtag… But, swear to God, the first thing that I came up with was that it was a ZIPPER TO A BODYBAG! I still say it looks more like that!
Psychologically, the truth almost always will out… dog tags and body bags are kind of intimately related, so I’m going to stand behind my assertion that this little ad fiasco is a heck of a goof on somebody’s part… or… hmmm… is it more insidious intentional propaganda to get us to support an illegal, immoral and unjust war.
Please do not try to pigeonhole me as not supporting our troops, because I am constantly trying to do so in the best way that I know how, by bringing an end to this petroleum adventurism ASAP and getting everyone home safe.
