Thoughts Before the Latest (and greatest!) Primetime War Speech

December 1, 2009

I’m mad at you tonight, America. Because I had a wonderful day. And now you’re going to ask me to open my mouth and accept your “sucker” pill once again. But my jaw is clinched – like it always is when you approach me with your vile and conniving tablet of one part bullshit-patriotism and nine parts fear.

America, as Allen Ginsberg said, “go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.”

I don’t want to hear anymore of your war jive — not from your Republican snakes nor from your Democratic fakes. Your goals are delusions and your timelines are as gelatin as your spines.

America, you’re sick. And war is your cancer. You need to see someone. Soon.

Peace.

And music:

    Yes. We put a Smiley Face in the White House and everything’s A-OK. Now go Christmas shopping. Get something special for your National Guard neighbor to take to Afghanistan–a talking Obama doll to show the little Afghan kids: “Watch me change…Watch me change…Now I’m Dick Cheney…Fuck you!”

    Beyond the pale–ugliness is even uglier with the Smiley Face.

Got something to say?
