Imagine a world without Liberals...
Imagine Whirled Peace without Liberals...
There would be no Anti-American propaganda
low calori Debbi Does Dinner
no Caramel with sweet cream, choc peace signs and toffee YUM!
no Fried chicken filled donuts.
Only in America can one person fuck up in a week
what took a lifetime to build.
an on-line real estate community circus.
Know what I say about this circus?
Fuck it. Boycott it.

PRAISED George W. Bush. I kid you not!!!
How can one person fuck up in a week
what took a lifetime to build?
a lifetime and fifteen seconds?

or reality? someone got confused...
I'm at a loss as well.
how much stress can one person take before they break down?
I’m out of Protection against EVIL.
This issue is a pet peeve with me
be anti-maternity leave
be pro-murder.
a good amount: the death toll is estimated at just around 100k,

How can one be anti-maternity leave?
I don't have to PRETEND I'm pro-murder
That's my final answer... LOL
collateral damage and suicide bombs
Fried chicken filled donuts.
an on-line real estate community circus.
I am against fucking

Life's a chess game
slaughter day is looming.
my ancient Chinese secret is these muthafukkas can fry some
collateral damage lol
and suicide bombs
They/Me/we are GOING DOWN!!!

Global Village [Today's News Poem]

Global Village

By Khakjaan Wessington

The television is haunted
With saints and demons.
We worship personalities
And then networks
And then simply brands.

They say television is insidious,
That it destroys minds,
Families and so forth.
What nonsense!
Who has time to drive to church anymore?
Pizza is delivered.
So is religion.

Who says television kills?
Who calls it the idiot machine?
I say it saves. Jay Leno saved
NBC millions and millions are saved
By his monologues. I don't know how
But they still tune-in.

The North Star was once a brand.
Just because sailors used it in metaphor
Doesn't mean it didn't guide a ship northward.

Conan O'Brien has all the fun I want to have,
So I don't watch his show.
Jay Leno should have fun,
But loves comedy as accountants love.
They laugh at our sins.
They are our sins.
They've made sin irrelevant.
