Scooter scooter scooter can’t you see
some times your guilt just sets my heart free
a brooklyn prosecutor set your ass on fire
and i hope the flames leap up higher and higher!
bup bup bup to irishman patrick fitzgerald who said, and i paraphrase:
‘i been hated on by republicans, hated on by dems, but i’m just doin
my job which is kickin ass and takin names!’ and since i am reading
it and not watchin it on tv i have the freedom to hear it in an irish
brogue!
so today one of those ass-kicked names was i. lewis libby, jr., the
vp’s chief of staff. and tho they didn’t get rove today, my man patty
says they can do more trials. three snaps for justice.
other things that brought me joy today:
i like to work in the green apple cafe on dekalb avenue sometimes, i
can get wireless and soup and its a little warmer than my house. EXCEPT
when men walk in the door. apparently something left out of the book on
"how to ackright fo’ mens" is the crucial lesson: ‘In The Winter When It Is
Cold And You Enter A Warm Space, You Close The Door Behind You
Quickly So The Heat Doesn’t Creep Out And The Cold Air Doesn’t Come
In And Cause Working Girls To Shiva!’ so today when the third dude walked
in and left the door open like karl rove’s dirty mouth, i sucked my teeth,
snapped my neck and glared at him, then the door, then back at him. he
sighed, rolled his eyes, and obeyed. sigh. glorious control! like kimora
says, ‘i will beat a bitch ass!’
AND
respectfully submitted by blogophile jd:
Anonymous sign at Anti-war Rally: Will someone just give him a blowjob
already so we can
impeach him??
AND
Live Long in the Closet:
Cpt.
Sulu, from Star Trek finally came out!
Yup, gay as a
buttered banana! Star Trek really was the great American
sci-fi!
AND
Don’t mess with texas except if mercury is in retrograde: George
‘Hellabad’ Bush is on fire, and by that I mean having a personal
Code
Red week. The black folk have gone on record as completely
disapproving of
him, Harriet Miers demurely deferred the Supreme
Court nomination when the Christian
Right reminded her that they are
into hard core crucifixion films and did she
really wanna step to that?,
Cheney and Rove’s bedroom giggles came to an abrupt
halt with the
whole country sayin’ ‘hey, what’s that stain? somethin leakin?’, Castro
responded to the U.S. offer for aid like ‘talk to the hand cause the man
ain’t
listening’.
And finally, Madonna’s new video ‘Hung Up’ is an ode to dance and the
human body and all I can say is I am glad my tight pants are clean and
my boots are polished cause I’m shakin a tail feather or four this
weekend.
Here’s something for your mind and heart:
