Stick a Ribbon on your SUV!

An absolutely hilarious song with biting satirical lyrics sending up those whose fundamentalist pro-life, yet pro-Iraqi-war beliefs leads them to support our troops with a display of car magnets. At least send them a calling card.

God help them. Ignorance is bliss.

Saddam Exchanged Taunts Before Hanging

By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press Writer

"New video, first broadcast by Al-Jazeera satellite television early Sunday, had sound of someone in the group praising the founder of the Shiite Dawa Party, who was executed in 1980 along with his sister by Saddam.

Saddam appeared to smile at those taunting him from below the gallows. He said they were not showing manhood.

Then Saddam began reciting the "Shahada," a Muslim prayer that says there is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger, according to an unabridged copy of the same tape, apparently shot with a camera phone and posted on a Web site.

Saddam made it to midway through his second reitation of the verse. His last word was Muhammad.

The floor dropped out of the gallows.

"The tyrant has fallen," someone in the group of onlookers shouted. The video showed a close-up of Saddam's face as he swung from the rope.

Then came another voice: "Let him swing for three minutes." "


Blogs of War has the video! Via cell phone from an undisclosed location!

American-style Family Values

Saddam Hussein's family (clockwise from top L), son-in-law Saddam Kamel and daughter Rana, son Qusay and daughter-in-law Sahar, daughter Ragda and son-in-law Hussein Kamal, son Uday, daughter Hala, Saddam Hussein and his first wife Sajda Kher Ala


Why was Saddam executed on Eid al-Adha, "the Feast of Sacrifice," which Muslims celebrate to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to obey Allah, by sacrificing his son, Ismail? It's not as though the powers-that-be were unaware





The Eid stamp commemorates the two most important festivals—or eids—in the Islamic calendar. On these days, Muslims wish each other Eid mubarak, the phrase featured in Islamic calligraphy on the stamp. Eid mubarak translates literally as blessed festival, and can be paraphrased as May your religious holiday be blessed. This stamp is part of the Holiday Celebrations series."

Isn't it odd how alike the terms eids and IED's are? Or that the three western religions that are at odds or eids share the same ancestral father? Even worse, share a God who, supposedly, would demand of a father a test of obedience like this?

U.S. Soldiers Taunt Iraqi Kids with Water Bottle: "I love You!"

U.S. Soldiers Taunt Iraqi Kids with Water Bottle: "I love You!"

U.S. soldiers "Giggles Bloodletter" and Master Sargent Videographer "al-Fred Hitch m'Cock," let off a little steam during a trying open-air Baghdad driveby, avoiding roadside bombs and Juba the Sniper, in teasing some little kids with a tempting half-empty plastic bottle of store-brand water. But like Oxycotin-addict Rush "Fatso" Limpbough said of the Abu Gharib guards who were just having a little frat-house fun with the naked P.O.W.'s in their care, everybody overreacts, assuming the worst about our men in buff, with drab accents. Why can't they take a joke, they ask? Maybe because this is the truth:

Amid a breakdown in infrastructure, families in Umm Qasr fill any available vessel with potable water. Children yell the few English words they know: "I love you! I love you! Water? Water?"

Does everybody get it, AMERICA???

Sigmund Freud is Spinning in his Grave.

If this rotor was from a 757 jet engine it would be nine feet in diameter. It looks to be about the same size as this man's inseam (the length from his crotch to his heel,) maybe 38 inches. Not that I'm trying to draw attention to his inseam, mind you.


This compares Penny Elges's Dodge Neon with a 757 jet. Remember to account for perspective! The car is closer to the camera so it looks bigger than it actually is!

Cheney Gets A Gift ------May it Keep On Giving

I always thought the picture below looked so unreal. The crisp starched cuff, the tucked-in shirt,the showy watch, the manicured thumbnail--the overall headlessness of it. Lots of Pentagon attack photos were created in advance of September 11, which led to some reconciliation and continuity issues, and goes a long way in explaining the lack of focus displayed by the participants. Many government employees had to be in on the "war games." Keeping secrets is a skill but keeping this secret is soul deadening .

So easy to keep them occupied. Just wind them up and point them in the right direction and let them mug. It's all just windowdressing anyway.

This ideological overreaching has exposed the unholy alliance.
Now it's God's turn. Fasten your seat belts.
We're in for a bumpy eride!

Should I Move It? Naw, looks kind of heavy.

It comes in handy for photo ops. Better leave it there.

Am I Blue? Am I Blue? Ain't These Tears in These Eyes Telling You?

Am I blue, you'd be too...If each plan with your man....Done fell through....There was a time.....I was his only one.....
But now I'm...the sad and lonely one.....oh dear Lord...how lonely.....

Was I gay, till today.....Now he's gone and we're through.....Am I blue.....Oh he's gone and left me.....I am blue....but I remember when I was gay.

You know, none of this looks like any fun. Nor does it look inter-connected, healthy, balanced, or productive. Reminds me of my misspent Tennessee youth, hearing them "speaking in tongues," which could then be topped by the person who would "translate" into meaningful, if somewhat repetative, English, but hey, nobody ever argued.

I did a mean eerny, merny, nerny Norwegian.

Jerry Falwell says there is an epidemic of oral sex in the Christian middle schools.

Just for the record, there was LSD in public middle schools in 1970 in Tennessee, but no oral sex.

For that you had to wait until high school. I'm really very clear about this.

It makes me feel good knowing that boys are trying to learn how to give pleasure as well as take it, to girls I mean, even if this makes Falwell unhappy.

The new Evangelical talking point is "we're losing our teenagers."

We know what that means.

Why, that's worse than killing Christian babies and drinking their blood!

Nobody's perfect.

But to steal away and convert the Rapture-Ready's youngins-- why, that's low.

I'm glad it's the other side who thinks that they have all the guns.

You know, the side that lost the war?

However this turns out, good luck everybody, getting wherever it is we have to go.

Seeing the True Face of Christ

Makes the Face of the Evangelicals look like the Ghastly Perversion of truth it truly represents. Painted shrill hussies, only happy feeling persecuted.

Thank You God,
and thank the little girls too, please.
They fulfilled the contract superbly.
We'll try to complete the rest.

An anthem to make us all proud.

An anthem to make us all proud.

Rise Up Together<

Music, lyrics and performance by Chuck Keiper

People wake up. There's a storm in the air.
There's a tidal wave risin' and ragin'.
Close your eyes if you want. Put your head in the sand.
But the world around you is changing.

They're moving, outsourcing, offshoring our jobs,
In the name of enhanced trade relations.
But the deficit's growing; we're being laid off.
They're cutting right at the heart of this nation.

Now the folks at the factory toil hard for their pay,
But the company's stealin' their pensions.
And the elderly people who worked all their lives,
Have to choose between food and prescriptions.

While the corporate fat cats have a license to steal -
Fill their pockets with all that will glitter.
And the congress and president deafly sit by,
And sell out to the day's highest bidder.

CHORUS:
People, it's time we rise up together,
There's no time to wait, no they've left us no choice.
Black and white, weak and strong, old and young, all together,
We stand arm-in-arm and shout out with one voice.
(end chorus)

Now there's one set of rules for the plain, common folk,
And another applied to the privileged.
And the young people wonder what they're going to do,
'Cause their future's already been mortgaged.

And they're stealing our freedoms with each stroke of the pen,
While the spin doctors spin us hypnotic.
And the president tells us to blindly believe,
And that the question is unpatriotic.

People wake up. There's a storm in the air.
There's a tidal wave risin' and ragin'.
Close your eyes if you want. Stick your head in the sand.
But the world around you is changing.

And each moment we wait to give voice to our will,
Brings us closer to handing it over.
Like some uninformed fools who can't think for themselves.
Like the sheep at the hands of the drover.

CHORUS x 2

Blackwater Mercenaries in Najaf, Iraq

This 6 minute and 45 second video clip depicts mercenary Blackwater snipers on a rooftop in Najaf Iraq, firing down onto a public roadway in a random killing spree. One kill, waving a green flag, is described as "Mahdi Army--engage," and constitutes the only defined military target hit during the entire episode. We see, for instance, a bus making its escape under withering American firepower. What possible justification of military necessity could these coldly vicious men give as reason, other than walking while Iraqi, or bus riding while breathing, or...well, you get the idea.
At one point, the Blackwater sniper is heard to say,
"Jesus Christ! It's like a fucking turkey shoot!"

In another video, a Blackwater promo, a direct connection is made between the events of September 11, 2001 and the war against Iraq, suggesting some sort of moral rational for undertaking these acts of brutality, BUT THAT'S JUST ANOTHER LIE!

O.K. Add it to the list.

These pimps of violence will be brought to justice, along with all the sordid Bush cabel, its family operatives and aligned politicians, "Pioneer"-bundlers and other crooked corporate fatcats.

The tide has turned. Bush is playing defense now. The crimes against humanity commited by these amoral horrors will demand a massive penalty.

Blackwater, you may want to start shreding your employee records, don't you think?
