an optimist's horizon
the signs are everywhere that the end is nigh. skyrocketing gas prices. journalist hostages. new details on fema's operational turpitude. twenty-one hundred some odd soldiers dead, five times that wounded. terrorist emerges on video to thumb his nose at the global conflict with religious fundamentalism. journalists blown up and ambushed. exxon mobil posts fourth quarter earnings. 10.3 billion. more than any other company. ever. in the history of everything known.
and don't you dare ever say that we are there fighting for oil. god damnit, we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here. or didn't you get the memo?
there's a douchebag named ford taking to the airwaves. talking about innovation and a new day dawning. taking back america's road. he's all about blue skies now, this ford guy. that'll happen when you gut 30,000 workers from your bankroll. it's like a nice, healthy bowel movement. innovate away, senor fuckstick. make me another suv.
more trials and tribunals than you can shake a 2x4 at. enron. alito. saddam. there's a south park episode in there somewhere. the end of corporate trust. the end of choice. 'the end of tyranny'... or at least that particular iteration.
do i need to see the freakshow of the saddam trial?
saddam: "you are the spawn of a whore! i haven't had a change of clothes in 3 days!!"
kurd: "cry me the euphrates, bitch. i haven't seen the sun in 12 years! because you gouged my fucking eyes out!"
ted kennedy on the senate floor, practically flailing. demanding a debate on the alito vote. like a scream from the bottom of the well. stick fork... turn... done.
an infant child stuffed in one of those black plastic bodega bags, tied up, and then sent down a river. and that the footage of her rescue -- where the bag was swooped up, place on the riverbank, and carefully torn open like you'd do a plastic covering of a microwavable dinner -- aired on the morning news leaves you with the feeling that today is going to be a wonderful day, full of surprises and goodness around every corner.
soldiers north of bahgdad, and civilians, too, have been drinking contaminated water for 10 months now. halliburton knew about it. tried to cover it up. and didn't bother sanitizing it after the fact.
a girl in iraq contracted bird flu. things are about to get really scary.
that's why i can't wait until the president's state of the union address tomorrow night. it's bound to be, at the very least, that very jolt of optimism this country needs right now.
it'll be a load of texas bullshit, but it will be like those stories we were told as youngens... the ones that lulled us to sleep.
