Snippets you should delete before reading

Don't look for order here, OK? Just random thoughts that -- don't tell! -- I might've just lifted from someone else!

Here:

Is Bush giving fascism a bad name? Hardly! He deserves – and will probably demand—tons of credit for keeping democracy (and, of course the Democratic Party) in its place!

“Even though it’s had several big-time decorators spiffy it up,” the New York Central morgue is “still a monstrous, messy marsh.”

Can Democracy – not just the Democrats – wait and survive until after Bush leaves?

The Gospel of Bush, as it’s delivered by the Deliverer, himself, may not belong in the canon, but it does belong in the trash. Maybe he does, too!

Will there some day be a “Washingtonstan?” If so, you gotta ask how a nation moved from baseball and burgers to burkas and shoe bombers in a single generation...

My preliminary list of what life would be great without:

Soup-filled bowling balls and, of course, lists of what life would be great without.

I'll have to take a 4 year course in how to spell "Ulysses!"

I just can’t get that spelling straight – I feel guilty and dumb, worn-out, sleepy and gutless. My revenge is thinking less of "Ulysses" and more of "Useless."

But that's me. When he strung his bow and slaughtered the guys after his wife's ass, it was GREAT! I LOVED it when he shot the arrow through the ten thingamajigs and helter-skelter slaughtered the schmucks, like a lion ravaging a bunch of dumb-ass buffalos!

WOW! That scene was better than Death Wish!

But...getting back to the subject: statues do tend to ignore those who ignore THEM, and even those who unashamedly FIXATE on it.

Even David in Florence shows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING no matter how many oohs aahs float like smoke around him.

Bitter as this indifference is to accept, after seeing a press conference today, I strongly prefer the stone-cold indifference of statues over cocky smirking lies by a decider who has lead by “staying the course” like an cannonball would, hurtling down from the heavens.

Just a glance tells you the whole story -- but wrongly: this guy plays first string quarterbottle on the Jack Daniels all-star drinking team.

Surprised?

He was the only guy in a radius of 33 miles who wasn't talking on a cell-phone -- and I include myself.

Taking this photo with my shooting ear covered was a real feat!
