Goodbye pompous officious arrogant dismissive in-thinking betrayer – responsible for the biggest debacle in the history of  U.S. military strategy. Good riddance to a corporate ghoul who showed more regard for Halliburton than his troops.

Should have stopped with Afghanistan and done the job right.

 

 

leave me alone on Christmas

Like in those glass-sided beehives,
the poor and dying press
against the window of my mind.

I cover the glass with candy canes
and santas.

The marketing
geekdom
will not rest
until every
inch of earth and sky
is covered
with corporate logos
like a NAS CAR:

This oak tree
is sponsored
by Viagra
Miller Lite
and Little Debbie

That cloud
by Marlboro
Nicoderm
and STP

This stream
by Jim Beam…
