the moon creates tides. are we not more important and more beautiful than the moon? so we too create tides, and the pull of our tides are stronger and more durable, for they last generations and give us incredible new economic opportunities – think of what the GDP per capita will be – truly shall we grasp the atomized abundance of our dreams.

from unclaimed coats, i will build a matching mink sofa and recliner, once they are dry. if there is nothing to watch on the television, i will reupholster that as well.

really there are no worries. those who die in war are quickly reincarnated as tax-free retirement investments.

i’d been floundering to find the difference between the clintonian “we don’t need no stinkin’ badges” approach to diplomacy and the bushies’. the clinton administration wanted to be seen as totally willing to bomb the living carp out of anybody to get its intended result. the bush pre-emption strategy seemed really similar but now i’m thinking they’ve built the perfect bomb, the conventional nuke. push the button and the society self-destructs. “we don’t care if anyone wins. we will turn your country into hell and watch it burn for years and years.”

according to this strategy, then, the news about lost weapons and huge ammo purchases could be akin to reagan’s “peacekeeper”/”star wars” gambit, except that this is probably a fake itself, to pretend that preparations for annihilation are actually part of a diplomatic campaign.

at this point, in so many different ways, bush cheney et al might be properly seen as an avatar of kali. i look forward to the truths i will discover as their reign of devastation cleanses my soul.
