Yes, I heard the Christian Right are moving away from the Republicans and starting their own party. Seems bush & co. aren't conservative enough.
Except they want James Dobson for president. Yes, sure, that will happen. If he has a chance, so does Gravel, but neither do.
It's a mad world...
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places-worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere-going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression-no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tommorow-no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday-Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen-sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me-no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me-look right through me
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
Reverend G R Gleig, survived the First Anglo-Afghan War to write in 1843:
...a war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, has Britain acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated.
My once-great country's only hope was to remove Bush from office before his term expired to permit the early repair of the devastation he created. Now the USA is on life support.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places-worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere-going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression-no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow-no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday-Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen-sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me-no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me-look right through me
