This is the place, when shit just gets too fucked up, beyond acceptable limits, when your mind says to hell with it and you just got to shout, gotta bleed, got to have your voice heard.

Editorials, for the most part are bullshit, just someone's opinion, like you don't have one and need another's. Editorials are one-sided arguments mostly lacking in substance like the circle-jerk debates arguing over the largest dick. Of couse in our present admin. the one with the largest dick did not win, but the biggest dick did become vice-president.

Editorials are good when they agree with beliefs - subject to change without notice unless validated and sponsored; bad when they threaten that blanket of illusion - keeping you in need of warmth - when life's cruel chill sets in and the caffiene stops talking.

But like a bad poem, editorials tend to serve best as mental masturbation which can be a good thing while trapped in isolation - hiding, wrapped in that needed security blanket.

Even agreeable editorials all seem to be saying the same things about the same things, clever facade distinguish one from the same. So here's my "distinguished" version of the "same thing" - an editorial concerning the thirst for war by what Calvin Trillin calls the "sissyhawks".

“ You are old, Father Williams,” the young man said “And your hair has become very white; and yet you incessantly stand on your head-Do you think , at your age it is right?”
“ In my youth”, Father Wiliams replied to his son, “I feared it might injure the brain; But, now that I’m perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again.” - Lewis Carroll

And Babel-On;

Some people say Bush is an absolute moron. This is an opinion, some will agree some disagree. And some debate could transpire that would leave us nowhere but take up alot of time.

Although when I say George W. Bush is a moron some of that is beyond opinion based in foundation. Like saying George W. Bush is a rich white boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth and couldn't successfully buy a quantity of cocaine without getting busted, couldn't successfully serve his country without going AWOL, couldn't successfully run a company, couldn't successfully run a state or successfully steal enough votes to clearly win the 2000 election without calling attention to the depth of corruption needed to place him in the white house. Like how many Bush's does it take to replace a light bulb?

This is not opinion, this is fact.

So when I say George W. Bush is a moron it's out of concern. I truly believe he has a mental deficiency beyond the reach of his privatized - government health plan.

When people want to talk shit about Bush I feel guilty joining in, I feel like saying - hey lay off the poor son of a bitch - but I cowardly keep my mouth shut afraid I might be perceived as un-american, un-patriotic, giving aid to an enemy of the state, fingered as a threat to national security, so I sit silent and let them rage on about what a fool Bush is. But isn't all this Bush-bashing unfair - like going to a mental hospital and complaining about the congeniality of catatonics cowered in corners?

And Babel-On

What would this country be like if Bush was catatonic. Locked away drooling in some janitor's closet type room off the west wing, east wing or down in the south central basement - would this country be better off? Yes but only superficially; since it ain't Bush running shit anyway.

Life would be better if Bush was catatonic, we wouldn't be embarrassed by his appearances, and the rest of the world wouldn't know we had an idiot at the helm and may respect us more. We wouldn't have to listen to his foolish speeches with bad delivery. We could be rid of his speech writers who could go on and pursue their true calling writing melodramatic Ed Wood sequels - "Plan10 and the axis of Hatred. "

If Bush was catatonic stashed away in the south central basement of the white house or even further maybe the florida everglades being spoon-fed alligator meat burritos by cuban exiles or hidden away like Cheney in a secret underground gated-community lair - a demented disney fiend, he could be played-off as the silent power behind the machine, some mysterious force steering our way through the dark and dangerous world of foreign affairs. So when we appear ignorant, the rest of the world would not think our actions stupid but covertly clever.

We really shouldn't parade our national jokes for the whole world to see. Like your family's dirty laundry is not dried in public. When the supreme court selected Bush as president it should've of done so with conditions that he be only let out to watch the fireworks on the fourth of July. A "seen but not heard" clause should of been put into effect, like Reagan in his last years.

Finally if Bush was catatonic and hidden away like some shameful family secret then it would be so much easier to write history's heroic accolades about his presidency that our children's children could be proud of.
