On the Unmasking of Demons: Yes We Must

“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”
– Carl SaganWe are a species of superstitious monkeys, in insectoid mutational phase, armed with mass-incineration weaponry, at the edge of a teeming galaxy. All of us are possessed by demons, a lying Legion of deceptions and delusions. Our Earth has maxxed-out on demonic monkeys and now She’s coughing out storms to flush our fires away.
So we’re all in a Panic. Or running for our lives, shivvering in the deep freeze, slogging through toxic flood waters. Deep in the Voodoo, shite out of luck, over the falls in a Titanic barrel of insane monkeys. Because our society is an onion of lies within lies, all ruled over by ominous wargods and mass-incineration weapons. We chatter on about superstitions and pseudo-news, nearly cut off from any natural identity. Our instincts have been hijacked and most of us are living like serfs in Roman-occupied city-ghettos. Being entrained to think we must kill to get our way. This is “God’s will”?
“There are years when nothing happens and years in which centuries happen.”
– Carlos FuentesAmericans of certain dying generations will yet argue the righteousness of the mass-incineration of two cities full of innocent humans as “for the good of the nation,” every Hiroshima Day for half a century. Here we can grab the most dangerous demon by the horns. War has warped us all to the core (Corps), now bred for murder on massive scales.
Or shall we insist on another round of robust patriotic chanting, another atomic bomb test, or let’s see what the Bush family has brought us today? Hooray, a brand new AIRCRAFT CARRIER!; bigger than many American communities, named for the “Man who has everything” (according to W, as he commissioned it)- CIA President 41, from his son, CIA President 43. How mind-bendingly metaphoric. Cost more than your children’s education (or imprisonment), but our demons are very happy! More mass-incineration ahead!
Aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush joins the fleet

NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, Va. – More than five years after the keel was laid, a rainbow of signal pennants, huge American flags and patriotic bunting adorned the fully-dressed and nearly-completed aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush on Friday, as thousands of crewmembers busily prepared the ship and its pier for Saturday’s commissioning ceremony featuring its namesake and his son, President George W. Bush.
With sea trials just weeks away, the crew of more than 5,000 who labored to get her ready were notably excited, and many said that after the speeches end and rows of white chairs are cleared, there was only one thing left to do: put to sea.
“Definitely, definitely. That’s what I’m really ready to do,” said an excited Petty Officer Keith Hasker, 27, an aviation ordnanceman from Houston.
Reporters were escorted through several areas of the ship, from the crew quarters to the bridge. At each turn, officers and enlisted men and women proudly showed off their creation, designed and assembled plank-by-plank with Northrup Grumman-Norfolk shipbuilders.
The senior President Bush spent about four hours onboard the ship Thursday, and made a surprise appearance at the pier Friday afternoon for one more look.
The Bush, the tenth and final Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to be built, features several equipment and software upgrades and structural design changes, especially to the island, and more of its systems have gone digital.
…
Each carrier contains a “tribute room” to its namesake, and the USS Bush’s is a true mini-museum, featuring dozens of memorabilia showcases of the president’s life and public service. On display are a flag from the vessel that pulled Bush from the Pacific Ocean during World War II, a marble ornament from Saddam Hussein’s palace, and the letter awarding Bush the Distinguished Flying Cross that was signed by Vice Adm. John S. McCain Jr., the father of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
As the Bush closes out the Nimitz-class era, the room fittingly includes a World War II-era letter to home that the naval aviator wrote to his parents.

We’ve got Dulles Airport, Reagan airport, George H.W. Bush Airport, we’ve got Ronald Reagan highway (somewhere, can’t remember where), it goes on and on ….
Where is the Mahatma Ghandi airport? Where’s the Einstein airport?
..toll road from my front window. It’s fitting. We’ll be paying for it forever — just like everything else the jerk did.
Send ’em (GWB & Darth & Condi & Rummy, etc.) to The Hague & let the World Court sort out who remains free, and who is imprisoned for life.
B/C we all know it ain’t gonna happen in this country.
