Starving Marines in Iraq?
Fri May 05, 2006 at 03:03:20 PM PDT
Hey folks, Randi Rhodes is reporting that Marines in Iraq are begging for food. It seems that they get 2 meals a day of substandard food. MARINES are begging for food on the streets of Iraq!
An email to a Mom at a CT credit Union begging for food foe a Marine Unit is reported. This is right in line with the scandal last year where KBR was foisting rancid food on the troops.
I will update as I learn more. Please post you own updates in the comments.

Why should immigrants have all the fun? Damned LA Times...
"There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it weighs the issue.

Fitz Been Watching You.
For Karl Rove
(Lyrics by Patrick J. Fitzgerald and The Subway Serenade)
Every breath you took
Everywhere you look
Every oath you broke
It will make you choke
Fitz been watching you.
Every single day
Every word you'll say
Every game you played
Every vote you swayed
Fitz been watching you.
Oh, can't you see
You won't long be free
America's heart aches
With each misstep you take
Every move you make
Every law you break
Every lie you fake
Every blame you'll take
Fitz been watching you.
I'll sing it at The Wall Street Station tomorrow afternoon.

An Easter Story
Years ago I was a mid level clerk with the accounts receivable department in the office of taxation and finance. I can understand that no one likes a tax collector and I've never been much to look at, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I was near the bottom of the popularity list in our small city.
The liberals of the community would always yell at me for not taxing the rich enough, or complain that the government wasn't doing enough to solve pressing social problems. The conservatives complained about my sending their money out to support a bloated bureaucracy, but although my job nothing to do with any of these concerns, and I said so repeatedly, it didn't seem to matter.
The Gospel of Judas Iscariot ?

Found this at nytimes.com
http://www.nytimes.com/...
An early Christian manuscript, including the only known text of what is known as the Gospel of Judas, has surfaced after 1,700 years. The text gives new insights into the relationship of Jesus and the disciple who betrayed him, scholars reported today. In this version, Jesus asked Judas, as a close friend, to sell him out to the authorities, telling Judas he will "exceed" the other disciples by doing so...

The Disney Protest Song
(To be sung as a round)
Hakuna Matata means nothing here.
When kids work in sweatshops,
And Live in fear.
Where they're told it's a treat,
Eating nine times a week,
And we just don't care.
They can't have a union,
Or health care plan.
And where they're workin'
Ain't Disneyland.
But don't Mickey look swank,
Dancin straight to the bank,
Cause he just don't care.
It's the Third World after all...

Red Line Blues
I was fast asleep that morning on the day the buildings fell,
And the platform where I'd sing that afternoon was gone as well,
And I cried for all of those on whom my livelyhood depends,
When I saw the downtown covered in the ashes of my friends.
So I gathered up my old guitar for a gentle Christmas show,
I could hardly bear the sadness, but I knew I had to go,
'Cause I heard that red line crying, sadly comin' round the bends,
Kickin' up amid the subway dust, the ashes of my friends.
I want to thank you for indulging this old subway serenade,
'Cause it's never been about how much or little I was paid,
I just stopped by to tell your hearts that true Love never ends,
And to sing this lonesome love song to the ashes of my friends.
I was fast asleep that morning on the day those towers fell,
And the platform where I'd sing that afternoon was gone as well,
And I cried for all of those on whom my livelyhood depends,
When I saw that downtown covered in the ashes of my friends.
50 Ways To Dump The Dubya (lyrics)
Tue Mar 14, 2006 at 07:02:22 AM PDT
Sing Along!
The problem is all inside your head, Dean said to thee.
It's no time for dreamin' if you're listenin' to me.
We all must rise up now and keep our country free.
There must be 50 ways to dump the Dubya.
It's really never been my habit to intrude,
But it don't take a rocket scientist,
To see we're bein screwed.
So just raise your voices. Don't be afraid of bein rude.
There must be 50 ways to dump the Dubya.
Just fill up a Bat, Matt! Talk to your clan, Fran.
Tell your good ol' boys Roy! Just listen to me.
Stop wonderin' why, Guy! We got a virtual steak fry.
Watch the Bush team flee Bea, and keep your country free.
Dean said it's sad to see this nation in such pain.
It'll be a long hard road before we all can smile again.
We all knew about that.
So we started building for those better days...
Dean said embrace each other through this darkest night
And if we all work together
This whole world will see the light.
And then I woke up,
And I realized we gotta stand and fight.
There must be 50 ways to dump the Dubya.
50 million ways to dump the Dubya.
Sex Ed. Sing Along

(To the tune of the "Animaniacs" theme song:)
Condomaniacs?
You've just gone out for dinner,
And your date is really hot.
She tried to tear your clothes off,
In the movie parking lot.
You look inside you wallet,
And guess what you forgot?
But she's a nurse,
She checks her purse,
And now you know the plot.
They're Condomaniacs,
In their intimate contacts.
Cause when they prophalax,
Disease no one contracts.
They're Condomaniacs!
When people think that sex is bad,
They'll quote chapter and verse.
"You'll never go to heaven,
Having nookies with a nurse!"
But she just licked his tonsils,
I don't mean to be terse.
But they know what they're doin'
When it's too late to reverse.
They're Condomaniacs,
Even though the church attacks.
They know they can relax.
They watch each other's backs.
They're con do manie,
Use your brainie,
When you can't abstainie,
Condomaniacs!

Goper's Lament (Hard To Be A Republican)>
When tomorrow all the things are gone,
We've worked for all our lives,
And the Right has saved the Nation,
From homosexuals and their wives,
I'll wish on every star,
We'd had Clinton here today.
Or perhaps to hear that Howard Scream
And make it go away.
And it's hard to be a Republican,
Where I thought my lunch was free.
And I won't forget the ones who lied,
And sold that crap to me.
And I'd give my tax cut if I could,
But my job moved to Bombay.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I bought the scam,
That screwed the USA.
From the words of Bill O'Reilly,
That I heard on my TV,
From Bob Novak, and Rush Limbaugh,
It all made sense to me.
Anyone who spoke against us,
Was playin' a dangerous game.
But now my country's become a laughing stock,
And the GOP's to blame.
And it's hard to be a Republican,
Where I thought my lunch was free.
And I won't forget the ones who lied,
And sold that crap to me.
And I'd take my vote back if I could,
Now my grandkids have to pay.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I bought the scam,
That screwed the USA.
