Boris Don’t Surf

The right is taking on a Hollywood fantasy. With fiction it is easier to see the edge of the frame, but with the crop of Meroes strutting across the world stage it becomes difficult to know if they are fans or fanatics. That is, the new world leaders. Apocalypse Now was a movie framed to raise our understanding by raising questions about our easy bake warfare. That it is yet another movie for dormitory fun is just the way things go. Imagine it being watched and misunderstood by Putin as a little wannabe in Russia. Little boy Putin sees Robert Duvall and thinks, “I could do that.” duvallnow.png

And so he can. So he does.putinon.png

But wait, the likes of Mr. Retouch My Love Handles Szarkozy will not be outdone. He too can give a heilo for the camera..sarkozy.pngIsn’t it great to be famous and follow in the steps of pretend heros?

Capital Capitol

the catchalls and catechisms of corporatists and capitalists
the stand down, step asiders of our academic sideline
sidestepping or two stepping our way toward… making stutter steps, staggering on a drunkards waltz.
the dancers of D.C. (Denatured Capitalism) drunkards on the avenues of capita/ol city.
the tango of terror and timidity…
mythologize over bugles and lies

Iraq Purpose

The purpose in our invasion of Iraq is simple. Two winkles in the folded vision have distorted the narrative, but not the theme.

Thematic element one: I am afraid to make another mistake. I don’t want others to know I am weak, without a grand purpose. My life must have meaning. This is the theme from the drunken cowardly cub.

The second thematic element: I have their attention, I will use it for my goal, which is to fulfill the only legitimate purpose of government, the projection of power by military expression. The night watchman carries a club, a nucular club. This theme is a theme from the small soldiers, the ice cream combatants, stay at home pilots and pretenders. These are the dangerous ones. Weekend warriors with wisdom but no wonder. Small failed painters, possessing skills to persuade, to parade into war, later to call upon their mommy to pick them up. Sad small tyrants making claims they can’t fulfill.
