Fuck Glen Beck
all which isn't singing is mere talking
and all talking's talking to oneself
(whether that oneself be sought or seeking
master or disciple sheep or wolf)
gush to it as diety or devil-
toss in sobs and reasons threats and smiles
name it cruel fair or blessed evil-
it is you (ne i)nobody else
drive dumb mankind dizzy with haranguing-
you are deafened every mother's son-
all is merely talk which isn't singing
and all talking's to oneself alone
but the very song of
(as mountainsfeel and lovers)
singing is silence

I think I am turning of TV for the weekend......( save for a couple of football games)

A fool and his beer
... And I told him to knock off the emails. Leave it alone. We can talk football and beer. Our politics do not mix. He didn't. Friday last there was one that got rather personal... sent in a group email... disparaging my 'lack' of political acumen in that I do not believe Obama has destroyed our nation in seven months. I pointedly told him to knock it off.... again.
So today.. I get this thread....

What's his E-mail?
what the fuck!<>??
So I replied.
Combusted, indeed. Of course, if we need to consider the source of combustion, and then determine that it was not a large fire, we should also then consider whether there was a need to burn at all. Recent studies in our National Parks have confirmed that controlled burns are a great source of rejuvenation of a natural state. Yet a fire caused for simply the urge to watch things burn is vandalism. However, giving a match to someone who does not have the sense to delete a thread is just obtuse.
But rather than dwell on such mundane subjects as minds that are not simply content to watch fires burn, or for that matter, watch a Nation burn or watch friendships burn, but feel compelled to fuel those fires to greater intensity , I would pose a challenge.... engage your mind in an expansive way rather than trying to peer up ones own asshole to determine how wide the orifice is and whether there is room to insert a thought of an analytical nature rather than another weak puerile attempt at humor.
So, hence I will tender my own attempt to amuse.... name that quote! One beer for each one correctly attributed without need of google. Those who resort to using hard copy(or own hard copy) where the answers can be found will be congradulated, but will be denied libation.
1
It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
2
A lie does not consist in the indirect position of words, but in the desire and intention, by false speaking, to deceive and injure your neighbour.
3
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.
4
The want of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.
5
It is a mistake that there is no bath that will cure people's manners, but drowning would help
6
If one must drink with fools... it is best to drink alone.
I guess I found my reason for tonight's beer... the company to drink it with.... and I am sad for all of it.

signs signs everywhere signs
I went to a political rally on Saturday.... a Tea Party (Taxed Enough Already). Joe the Plumber was to be the guest speaker. There were about two hundred very cold people there, rallied around a slate of Bankers and Real Estate and Insurance folks who seemed to be bent only on throwing a little fear into a middle class crowd. It was very cold with little wisps of snow floating in the air. After about a half hour I had had enough and strolled a block away to the farmer's market. The vegetables seemed a lot fresher..... and I liked the signs better.

Silent Soldiers on a silver screen
Framed in fantasies and dragged in dream
Unpaid actors of the mystery
The mad director knows that freedom will not make you free
And what's this got to do with me
I declare the war is over
It's over, it's over
Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand
Fading rhythms of a fading land
Prove your courage in the proud parade
Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made
And they're afraid that I'm afraid
I'm afraid the war is over
It's over, it's over
Angry artists painting angry signs
Use their vision just to blind the blind
Poisoned players of a grizzly game
One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame
Pardon me if I refrain
I declare the war is over
It's over, it's over
So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
Serve your country in her suicide
Find the flags so you can wave goodbye
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
This country is to young to die
I declare the war is over
It's over, it's over
One-legged veterans will greet the dawn
And they're whistling marches as they mow the lawn
And the gargoyles only sit and grieve
The gypsy fortune teller told me that we'd been deceived
You only are what you believe
I believe the war is over
It's over, it's over
