THINK POSITIVE!

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION!

THE 'SECRET'!

THEN - I WOKE UP!

BEEN THERE! DONE THAT!

ROME WAS BURNING -

AND NO ONE GAVE A SHAT!

MORE CRAP?

© - Tom Hyland


Today, listened to NPR again -
All the Pundits and ‘Talking Heads’
Make me want to Puke!

Ken Fineberg said ‘they’ Determined
That the new CEO of AIG
Should pull down a Limited Salary of
ONLY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS!

No single human being walking this Earth
Is worth such an Annual Sum!
NO ONE - Even Athletes and Movie Stars!

Another show talked about Al Queda and the Taliban -
The Former, supposedly having Financial Difficulty
And the Latter - Loaded with Poppy Crop Money!

Duh - Gee - Whatever Should we Do?
Remember the KISS Principle?
Keep it Simple, Stupid!

1. Pull All Our Troops Out of Afghanistan!
2. FIRE-BOMB ALL THE POPPY FIELDS!
3. Then, Pray Tell - How will Either Help the Other?

We all know that a handful of Warmongers
Got Rich Smuggling DOPE out of Viet Nam -
Don’t you think the Same ASS-HOLES are doing the Same Now?

IRAQ = BLOOD FOR OIL!
AFGHANISTAN = BLOOD FOR DOPE!
MEANWHILE - ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS -
JUST TREAD WATER - AND BURN OUR TAX DOLLARS!

Yet another X-PURT talked about Kids and School -
Hi-Tech is RUINING Generations’ Ability to Think!
Calculators Destroyed Mind-Math Correlations!

The Internet Jargon Speech and Shorthand -
Like: - LOL - OMG - ROTFL - WSYIWYG -
Has Destroyed Students’ English Writing Talents!

Chat Rooms - Twittering - Texting - Hi-Speed BS -
Has Veritably DELETED Spelling and Grammar Abilities!
And Hell - Face It - Most EAR-DRUMS are Blown!

Yeah - That Started with Stereophonic Sound -
Then - ‘Boom-Boxes’ - Then ‘Walk-Man’ - Then - ‘iPod’ -
And - Finally, the Ever-Lovin’ - Cell Phone!

Street-Walkin’ Stereo Stomping Jay-Walkers -
RUN OVER BY TRAFFIC!
Twitter-Texting Idiots and Phone Gabbers -
Are the Distracted Dum-Dum Drivers!

Morbid Obesity - Diabetes Mellitus - Heart Disease -
High Blood Pressure - Bi-Polar Disorders - Depression -
STRESS - STRESS - STRESS


ROME BURNS - AS - NERO FIDDLES!


ADMINISTRATION CRAP!
CONGRESS CRAP!
MEDIA CRAP!
BANK CRAP! CREDIT CRAP!
INSURANCE CRAP!

MORE CRAP?

OR PERHAPS - JUST A ‘CRAP-SHOOT?’

Geez Tom, the only thing I would suggest is that Salaries and bonus's should be tied to how their individual corporations decreasd unemployment, created jobs and contributed to a national healthcare plan.

On the whole, I agree 100 kagillion %.
Cheers,
Dan

Right on target, as usual, Tom. During the Bush administration I bought chest waders and a close pin for my nose so I could wade through the stuff and not gag on the smell. Now I’m wearing neck waders and a gas mask. It won’t be long now before we’re all going to need deep sea diving suits.

Now, in Nam it was a daily fourth of July which the fly-boys entertained us with those napalm eggs their birds dropped out there. Afterward we could go on for miles without meeting a molesting goon sniper or anything else.
We should be doing it in Afghanistan's mountains hidings, get busy with napalm, say "too bad" to collateral damage (the baddies are hiding among them) and drop a few more eggs which will take trees, bushes and anything those boogeymen try to use as a cover. Then, by night use drones warm-search-cameras and spry those caves with Hellfire missiles up they chimneys, and say oops! if you caught an "innocent" poppy grower in the proceedings.

This is great stuff indeed. I agree with you all the way on this one. Right on point with the Afghan heroin angle too. Just read an article today by William Engdahl detailing this very same topic. ALL great empires were build with drug money. British East India Company with opium and right on down the line. Sad truth, if American banks ceased laundering narco-dollars, our economy would collapse overnight.
