I expect he wants to discharge all his military personnel who have sex outside of marriage? I think that will leave us with about 10% of our current troops.

What a buffoon.

There is a positive correlation between whatever burr is under many a fundamentalist saddle, and their core being.

Jimmy Swaggart preached hard against fornication: look at the results.

I know of more than one local preacher who preached hard against loose women, liquor or gays, only to be caught with same.

Gets down to projection, as best I can tell.

I’m actually thinking about doing another fountain pen post tonight to give everybody a chance to decompress.

Oh, please do. I couldn’t help but buy a couple of your recommendations, and they are terrific!

OT:

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, confessed to that attack and a string of others during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a transcript released Wednesday by the Pentagon.

What, he has enough brain left to utter sentences?

I heard confessed to the Jimmy Hoffa job, too. And halitosis.

Fucking sick.

And this morning the BBC has quoted the “confession” as first item on two news bulletins (8.00 and 8.30 GMT), uncritically as if it is clearly true. Shame on them! Yes, I’ve complained.

Any media who accept Mohammed’s confession as not induced by torture should be told to take a flying frik at a rolling donut. Or else asked if they want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

. . . And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it up and said.

“Kids, this-piece-of-paper’s-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna- know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing- you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting- officer’s-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say”, and talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there, and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words:

(”KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?”)

I went over to the sargent, said, “Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I’ve rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I’m sittin’ here on the bench, I mean I’m sittin here on the Group W bench ’cause you want to know if I’m moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein’ a litterbug.” He looked at me and said, “Kid, we don’t like your kind, and we’re gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington.”

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I’m singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, . . . or you may be in a similar situation, and if you’re in a situation like that there’s only one thing you can do and that’s walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say “Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant”. And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and they won’t take him.

And if two people, two people do it

. . . in harmony . . .

they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of ‘em.

And three people do it, three . . . can you imagine, three people walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walkin’ out? They may think it’s an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out? And friends they may think it’s a movement.

And that’s what it is, the Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar.

With feeling! . . .
