YOU'RE FIRED!!!

Ok. Let's compare two employees here.

Employee A does his job well, has never missed a day of work.

Employee B has not only spent approximately 70% of his tenure either on vacation, but did not report to work when he was needed most

Employee A is of slightly higher than average intelligence.

Employee B has displayed the intelligence equal to that of a 6th grade child more often than not.

Employee A has made his workplace a better place to work, as he is helpful to those working around him, even when he seems to be overwhelmed with his workload.

Employee B has pitted one side of the office against the other.

Employee A works very well under pressure.

Employee B mumbles and stutters when he's confused.

Employee A is good for his company.

Employee B has already driven many other businesses into the red, and now he's doing the same to your company.

Employee A has a brilliant daugher and wife, and is expecting another baby in a week.

Employee B, as well as his wife, children, neices and nephews, have a history of legal and criminal problems.

Employee A is reliable, responsible, and driven.

Employee B has a history of going AWOL, diverting blame, and never held accountable for his (in)actions.

Which of these employees deserve to be fired?

Why does Bu$h have a job, and I don't?

Can't We Just All Get Along?

This is one of the two most offensive, disgusting icons I can think of at the moment. The Swastika and whatever they call that encircled cross that the Klan uses. It stands for hatred, closed-mindedness, intolerance, and ignorance. That being said, I support their right to assemble, and to voice their opinions. We had a similar problem with a Klan Rally in Ann Arbor that made national headlines. There were those of us who argued, after that incident, that if nobody showed up, the Klan would stop marching. They got exactly what they wanted out of Toledo today. National press coverage. Something they can use as a recruiting tool. A chance to play the victim. Let them dress up in their costumes and march around playing soldier for a day. Who cares? Don't go! Without an audience, they aren't shit.

Bush-it Politics

Hopefully, I am not simply being overly optimistic here (optimism is not a typical trait of mine). But could Rove really be held responsible? Just look at how Bush struggles when Unca Karl isn't around! The story of the rehearsed, unscripted Q&A with the soldiers would never have been news at all. Georgie doesn't stand a chance without his puppetmaster. If Rove and DeLay both go down, I think Bush's days as President are numbered. I've always pointed out the similarities between the Bush and Nixon Administrations. I never thought that the possibility of Bush ending his Presidency just as Nixon did, even as awfully as he has "done his job". Here's where the optimism comes in. It does seen highly likely, though if Rove and DeLay are found guilty.

Son Of A Bush

Oh no
Struck by greased lightning
F'd by the same last name

You know what?
China ain't never givin' back that goddamn plane
Must got this ol' nation trained
On some kennel ration
Refrain
The same train
Full of cocaine
Froze the brain
Have you forgotten?
I been through the first term of Rotten
The father, the son
And the holy Bush-it we all in
Don't look at me
I ain't callin' for no assassination
I'm just sayin' who voted for this asshole of the nation

Deja Bush
Crushed by the head rush
15 years back
When I wrote the first Bum Rush
Saw you salute
To the then
Vice Prez

Who did what Raygun said

And then became Prez

Himself went for Delf

Knee deep in his damn self

Stuck in a 3 headed bucket

Of Trilateral Bush-it

Sorry ain't no better way of puttin' it

No you cannot freestyle this

Cause yo ass still ain't free

If I fight for y'all

And they get me

How many of y'all

Is comin' to get me?

None

'Cause it's easier to forget me

Ain't that a A Bush

Son of a Bush is here

All up in your zone

You ain't never heard so much soul to the bone

I told y'all when the first Bush was tappin' my telephone

Spy vs. Spy

Can't trust 'em

As your salute to the illuminati

Take your ass to your 1 millionth party

He's the son of a baaaaad

He's the Son of a Bad Man

Now here's the pitch

High and inside

Certified Genocide

Ain't That a Bush - Repeat, Ain't that a Bush

Out of Nowhere

Headed to the hothouse?

Killed 135 at the last count.... Texas bounce

Cats in the cage

Got a ghost of a chance

Of comin' back

From your whack ass killin' machine

Son of a Bush ain't that a Son of a Bush

Cats doin' bids

For doin' the same Bush-it that you did

Serial killer kid, uh seriel killer kid

He's the son of a baaaad

He's the Son of a Bad Man

Coke it's the real thing

Used to make you swing

Used to be your thing

Daddy had you under his wing

Son of a Bush

Bringin' kilos to fill up the silos

You probably sniffed piles

Got inmates in Texas scrubbin' tiles

That shit is wild

CIA child

He's the son of a baaaaad

He's the Son of a Bad Man

The Monkey Thing

Every so often, you find a piece of music that just blows your freakin' mind. Lately, I've been sifting through different jazz musicians looking for something new (to me) and interesting. I came across Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Kirk in Copenhagen". Track 3, The Monkey Thing, has Sonny Boy Williamson sitting in. Unfreakin'believable!!! Although I had never actually heard any of his material, I had heard OF him. This guy just blows my mind. I've never heard such versatility, technique, and intensity from one musician. A true genius. Hearing that track made me feel like I did the first time I heard Kashmir, Around The Plynth, How High The Moon, and The Wizard. I was in complete awe, and had never heard anything quite like it before. Too bad I noticed him 28 years too late.
