The United States
ought to be about
dialogue and diplomacy
solutions and life –

not attack and torture,
rendition and rape.

Bush Burger Recipe

Take fellow countrymen –
form into soldiers.

Make a weaker nation
flaming briquettes.

Add some prisoners.

Grill and eat’em.

Call yourself a REAL man.

Cheer at the altar of his fist.
A beer to celebrate blood on ice.

The enforcer whom you worship
would split your head and not think twice.

These are the heroes we offer –
often naughty, rarely nice.

Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.

Yet we are now besmirched

for having those same
patriotic opinions.

If you worship gangsters
you get more gangsters

If you worship sluts
you get more sluts

Benedict named his tour “Christ Our Hope”. Why not Love Our Hope,
or Peace Our Hope ? Rather, we got the same old Christ branding. What is good for the Christ is good for the Pope.

Benedict gets to keep his throne and his kingdom on earth. Thousands of children perish each day for want of food, shelter, and medicine.

The Pope surrounds himself with pomp and silly outfits. All wasted money. How is that holy?

Scars give Mother Earth more character!

Five years ago today the United States President and Congress invaded Iraq using Our military. Several months after the invasion I took part in a small demonstration against the war at the main intersection of our small town. There were five of us: my wife, my son (13), our friend Karen, our friend Leann, and myself. Leann, a Catholic activist from our nearby college, had organized the bootless foray.

Our small rally was peaceful and non confrontational. That did not stop many driving by from blowing their horns, giving us the finger, and yelling out “fuck you”. I wonder if they still feel the same today.
