According to an article in the USA Today on-line, the head football coach of the United States Air Force Academy thinks that his team is probably getting its ass regularly kicked on the gridiron because opponents have many “Afro-American kids [that] can run very, very well.”

In other military news, the Secretary of the Army released a report yesterday saying that he thinks the U.S. Army is in danger in any potential match-up with Nigeria, because Nigerian soldiers are “very athletically gifted blacks, while too many white soldiers in the U.S. Army have to rely on their brains and technology for effective killing skills.”  (In case any freeper happens to read this — the preceding sentence is pure bullshit).
 

I’ve traveled half way across the country.  I spend two and three nights a week meeting with others of like mind, planning and plotting an end.  I write here.  And letters to my representatives.  I’ve written a novel with an anti-war theme.  I protest with signs, candles, and prayers I don’t believe.  I’m doing what I can to stop this war.  I’m not bragging.  I know many of you have done more.

It was a crock from the beginning.  That is the thing.  I am not a genius.  But anyone reading the fucking newspaper – or with access to the Internet – and possessing just a modicum of common sense, knew it was a crock.

And we all know now.  Everyone in America who is not just willfully ignorant.  There were no WMDs.  There was no connection between Iraq and al Qaeda.  This was a war based on lies.  We have invaded a country based on lies.  We have killed innocent civilians – tens of thousands – based on lies.  We have killed nearly 2,000 of our own based on lies.

Am I self-satisfied that I was right?  A little.  Do I feel good I am trying to stop it?  A little.  But there is nothing like a Democrat on national television to wake me up and make me realize that resistance within the boundaries of the traditional political structure is futile.  Fucking futile.  I should have known that, too.  If I wasn’t so fucking naive.

Yes.  I’ve brought my friend again.  You remember Direct Actions.  Direct Actions, you remember my friends at The Booman Tribune.

[Potential readers, somewhat charmed after their first meeting with the book, share a polite handshake with the now eager novel.  Fade to black.]

Okay.  This whole bumping into my novel is getting old, right?  He looks kind of like an action novel.  (Chuckle).  And he looks a bit green.  Is that novel going to be okay?

But there is new and exciting news.  So how else am I going to tell you?  The book is now available at the Boo Store.

Booman People.  Please meet my novel.  Novel, the Booman People.

[An awkward silence falls between the potential readers and the unassuming novel.  Cricket song rises from the relative peace of a pastoral night.  Fade to black.]

More about Direct Actions after the flip (if you’ll join me).
