Khadaffi-duck. erstwhile ruler in Libya, is cranked up and out of control. Everybody knew this guy was a serious fruit loop that ever heard him speak but he is seriously bent now. When you hear his public talks now it is like hearing a seriously sociopathic crazy person who truly believes he has a place in history as a martyr in the revolution. He is now talking about using chemical weapons that will make his opponents rant with delusive hallucinations. Can we target just his headquaters with a DMSO/LSD-25 solution? Could he get up off the floor and put on a tie-dye t-shirt and start singing Dancing In The Streets in Libyan? I swear I'm not making this us. It came from a credible news source that also has worries about bio and nuclear warfare programs that were never truly abandoned by Khadaffi in the 90s Maybe Jim Morrison will come back from the dead and film the movie.

I know there are few who care for serious politics on this site. I uneertsand, this is really mostly about the good times we all had. But this latest current event of banning collective bargaining (except for the unions that voted for the Guv. of Wis) that happened in the statehouse in Madison has rankled me and fired me up. It has set up the kindling for the ignition of the class war - which some believe has already started. Good thing I'm nonviolent. I'm thinking about carrrying around a hammer and doing a number on obscenely rich cars that have conservative political bumperstickers like "So,How's That Hope & Change Thing Going For You?" Time to for a glass of wine to wash down a few more valium. Stop being sheep! Fight the Power!!! I'm filled with more and more loathing for people who choose to stay uninformed, or informed, do nothing.

Lilly. Sad to say they grow up in spurts. Very hard to follow a lot of Euro-news over here except the BBC (besides digging on the internet for who knows what could be the truth). I got a kick out of the labels they were tagging on him though... Cut'n'Paste Von Zuttenberg & Google VonZuttenberg! Don't even know if I have the name right.

You have to love this guy. He lives with two trashy blondes, one a porn star and the other a nanny. He needs to add Lindsy Lohan to this phalanx and open up a pharmacy in his house. I think he is doomed, doomed i say. As for Khdaffy Duck, well, there is just plain old 'out there' egominaical whacko. It's just a matter of how many people and brings down with him. The thing we don't get is that when he says "His" peope love him he means mostly the people of his Bedouin tribe, not the rest of Libya and I'm not sure he has an accurate handle on that. Well, "Fuck The Doomed" as Richard Nixon said to Hunter Thompson one day. Ahhh, that would be Sheen and Khadaffy and not the rest of those poor souls.

U.S. Marine Corps Hymn (Marine Hymn) From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in ev'ry clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job-- The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.

Supremeo Comanndermundo David Petraeus, Head Ramrod of American armed forces in the in the American occupied countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, made an unprecedented apology to the Afghan government and people because a US attack helicopter fired on and killed 8 Afghan children collecting firewood. Two of them were sets of brothers. The US has a policy of compensating accidental deaths in Afghanistan with $1500-$2000 a person. Of course, when they wipe out whole families it is difficult to know who to give the money to. But it supposedly it is a tradition among tribes to compensate for death in that country. In Frankfurt, Germany, a 21 year old airport worker shot at a bus carrying US Armed Forces and killed and/or injured 4 of them in what the German Government is confused about. They can't figure out if it is an act of terrorism even though the shooter was Muslim. Hey Germany! Let me clue you in... IT WAS TERRORISM (morons!) TLilly, any more info. on that? A Wall St Journal/NBC Poll, surprisingly, found that 77% of the American public support American worker's right to collective bargaining and going on strike. Well, that is encouraging. So encouraging in fact, I'm going to shout down the only Socialist/Independent Senator of the US in a "Town Meeting" in Montpelier, Vermont this Saturday. I will tell him that politicians are irrelevant, the class war has begun and he should go fuck himself with his populist rhetoric! I plan to bring a hammer for a gavel. Sorry folks, the Valium isn't working anymore. Time to tell some human/corporations stomping the shit out of the middle-class on down that what is happening in N. Africa can happen HERE. Maybe I'll self-immolate myself to make the point clear if the AFSC can get behind me. I'm sick of it all and I'm not taking it anymore. I know I speak for myself only and not most deadheads, especially the ones who have been helplessly bleating that the Dead were not political in the day, though they continue to support worthy groups with REX. Hammer down in the morning, hammer down in the evening, hammer down ALL DAY!!

....as with the "Community Center" at Ground Zero it is a fundamental, basic right. In this case, to FREE SPEECH! I don't like it, find it distasteful in the extreme and would probably counter-demonstrate, as a group had continually vowed to do. But as Roberts(?). for the majority, said "It may be hateful but it's free speech". C'mon people, you can disagree but support the freaking Constitution. It's all that stands between us and the army's new "Hummingbird" drones that can spy on individual Americans. Would you rather the night time torch parades of Mormonism when Mitt Romney gets the nod for the Repubs. in the next election? Thousands of Tea Party members marching in lockstep with Klansmen shouting in perfect unison "Seig Hei Romney, Seig Heil Romney!" A future w/o any rights is closer than you think. So support the ones we still have!!

That is why the Court also has said that all of this is subject to local, county & and state rules. They can keep people back to a point of 500 feet where they can't be heard. There can even be a buffer of supportive people (a group has already started to fill that role). I find these Baptists (and Baptists in general) distasteful. However, they have the right to be there. This was an 8-1 decision by the Court. As anybody knows who's read my posts, I am no fan of the Supreme's. I am going to a Town Meeting with my Senator Sat. to discuss the Supreme's decision on corporations rights like they are human beings. I don't know why there was not one single response on this site when the AG Eric Holder requested the Supreme's (who complied) to TAKE AWAY OUR MIRANDA RIGHTS UNLESS WE EXPLICITLY INVOKE THEM. I posted it, no response. That is far more repugnant than this , however hateful it is.

I should use Jim Boehner's gavel but his office said he won't lend it out. Maybe a really giant gavel. I definitely want the crowds attention, comedy rarely does it, but a blow-up air gavel symbolizes airhead politicians Bad news, the AFSC doesn't support self-immolation. Too bad, that is a real attention getter and the people on this site who don't agree with me would be so relieved!

Do away with people blowing my minddo away with people wasting my precious time take me to a simple place where I can easily see my face maybe, baby I'll see that you were kind know I love you baby, yes I do know I love you baby, yes I do do away with people laughing at my hair do away with people frowning on my precious prayers take me to a circus tent where I can easily pay my rent and all the other freaks will share my cares know I love you baby, yes I do know I love you baby, yes I do do away with things that come on obscene like hot rods, beauty queens, real fine nicotine sometimes it buys for 65 dollars prices like that make a grown man holler 'specially when it's sold by a kid who's only 15 know I love you baby, yes I do know I love you baby, yes I do 3/5's of a mile in 10 seconds...

We can be togetherAh you and me We should be together We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young But we should be together Come on all you people standing around Our life's too fine to let it die and We can be together All your private property is Target for your enemy And your enemy is We We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are we are And we are very Proud of ourselves Up against the wall Up against the wall fred (motherfucker) Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Come on now together Get it on together Everybody together We should be together We should be together my friends We can be together We will be We must begin here and now A new continent of earth and fire Come on now gettin higher and higher Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Won't you try

Time to meet with my affinity group and do our thing. The rest of you can sit around arguing about E72 codes, smoking joints, playing video games and taking Watson 10/325s. To those who are acting: Bou-yahhh! Longhairs!!!

...you usually cheer on the radicals. I am not trying to be hostile but the fact is (and remains) that few people will act, despite the unbelievable events unfolding in Northern Africa and here in America with the move of Repubs to take away the right to collective bargaining. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. 1 out of 8 people in America is on food stamps. The time to act was 30 years ago but we let it ride and anything done now is merely for one's conscience. But it is important to act.. I think Zarathustra would say we have no supermen to save the day. I feel that Deadheads, with expanded consciousness, should not be couch potatoes at this time, That is all I am trying to convey. Doing nothing is taking a stand. Apathy reigns. I accept it but refuse to stay silent! Bliss to all, be happy , healthy and whole. Keep rearranging those deck chairs on the Titanic. "What, me worry?'

If this following is really awful in German please just forget about it. The English translation ain't no pic-nic eith Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song Lyrics Artist(Band):Jefferson Airplane Sticken in mein Hachen Sticken in mein Haut Fugen mein weiss mit mein auss Pucken Sprechen Sie nicht Meinem Deutschen wenn Sie Müden sind Meine Auto fahrt sehr Schnell aber es rast Gegen mauen Ah, ja, das bin meine Ja, das bin du Du, das bin ich Ver such es Send "Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song" Ringtones to Cell If you find some error in Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Ali for submitting the lyrics. Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song Never Argue With a German if You're Tired by: Jefferson Airplance , circa 1971 The lyrics given here (and in most places) are completely awful. The German in the actual song is not very good either, but here is my best understanding of the song: Stecken in mein Haken. Stecken in mein Haut. Fügen mein weiss mit mein Ausspucken. Streiten Sie nicht Mit einem Deutschen wenn Sie Müde sind. Meine Auto fährt sehr Schnell aber es rast Gegen Mauern. Ah, ja, das bin meine. Ja, das bin du. Du, das bin ich. Versuches. And in English: Stick in my hook. Stick in my skin. Mix my white with my spit. Do not argue with a German if you are tired. My car goes very fast but it races against walls. Ah, yes, that's mine. Yes, that's you. Well, that's me. Experiment. All the best to you and your daughter Tiger Lilly Like CSN&Y say "Teach your children well"

...Would lead one to a reasonable conclusion that more seismic activity off the Oregon coast now has a higher probability. Lets hope LA & SF aren't included. The Jappanese are now using last ditch efforts to cool the reactor cores in six power plants with two in dire danger. There have been two partial meltdowns. They are using sea water in a last ditch effort to cool the remaining reactors. Hopefully, this will kill the effort to revive the nuclear power option, though Obama is quoted as saying that we need to learn lessons from these accidents so we can move forward with this type of power production. His unflagging support of nuclear power is puzzling, to say the least.

Don't worry, it all good. You don't need the thyroid pills,

What a freaking mess. I've seen news reports of American soldiers in open revolt to their Commander & Chief's (Obama's) policy in Libya to the tune "What the hell is the objective here?" The left and the right (among anybody paying attention) are going nuts that Obama did not inform Congress and the American people with a clearly laid out plan of going to war as The War Powers Act demands. This is a mess! Some of these "rebels" in Benghazi are indeed Al Quieda. We stopped the slaughter of innocents in Benghazi and now it's time to turn it over to the British, the French and The Arab League and let the blood be on their hands. Obama's actions in this fiasco are worrying to a large degree. Maybe he doesn't get it and maybe if the Repubs come up with non-loony ticket in 2012 he is going to get his ass kicked by a Romney/Paul ticket. MacArthur said to March on Beijing in the 50s. Looks good in retrospect. Common sense says it's time for the allies to put boots on the ground to Tripoli and take out the camel turds. It may force another issue on the matter of the Libyans having retained weapons of mass destruction. Better to find out now than when an all-out conflagration happens in the Middle East as it is clearly heading in that direction. Save American might for Yemen, the most radical terrorist state in the process of falling to the terrorists in the next six months as well as Bharain, where the 5th American naval fleet is based. Democratic change is good bot nobody said it wouldn't be scary or hazardous.
