Seanachai Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Well, last night I did my taxes, and, when I woke up this morning and shook off the hangover, I found that I'd been taken roughly from behind. I'd be more philosophical about it if they'd bought the wine. I never resent paying my taxes, though, because I know that every dime I paid went towards the Pentagon's decision to pay Halliburton despite fraud, over-charging, double-billing, corruption and shoddy, sub-standard work. I would resent paying for a war based on lies, stupidity and misrepresentation, so I'm glad to know that my tax dollars are being squandered on the illusion of rebuilding an infrastructure in the soon to be 'Fragmented Warlord States of the Former Colonial Creation Maintained by Vicious Dictatorship Previously Known As Iraq', while in actuality being spent to enrich the cronies and supporters of Dick Cheney, a man whose lack of future political ambition, not to mention bad heart, has given him the wonderful freedom to piss right onto the heads of the American people because he simply doesn't give a rat's ass about what they think. Mr. Cheney knows that it is easier for a rich man to suck the last bit of meat off the bones of a camel, than it is to reach up the arse of a huge corporate python and try and pull the money back out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Oh, and MrPeng, me old chum! I was reminded today about sitting this one time with me Grandma, who was then about 90 years old, and we were after watching the evening news. And there was a story about how a certain political party was claiming that their policy of tax cuts to the rich would stimulate the economy, and result in increased jobs for the working class. And me Very Favourite Olde Woman, my Irish-Catholic Grandmother who used to actually take me to Mass, of all the goddamn things, and who used to club me with whatever was handy, shaking with upset, when I used to fight with my sisters, and who I 'Almost Never Heard Say a Bad Thing About Anyone' when I was growing up, turned to me, sitting there as she was in her wheelchair, having worked the line, and then as an office worker for 'Taystee Bread' her entire life, and said to me: "How much longer are we going to be expected to buy our jobs back from those sons of bitches?" I just blinked. I'd never even heard her swear before, in all the 35 years of life I'd known her. Here's a toast to Olde Women They brought us this far And we'll sing to their memory As our glass hits the bar They worked all their lives To teach us to live well They'll spend eons in Heaven For each day we're in Hell They were better than we And they always will be In their hearts, we've a place And that might win us grace But if prayers from the damned Can God's grace command Then I pray that Olde Women Are laughing somewhere And drinking white wine With flowers in their hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
