5. I think it's an ambush.

They're going to read an anti-bush speech by the late Mrs. King.

While The Monkey King has to sit there politely and take it.

For is he not an honorable man?

7. Well I certainly hope they are not honoring them for being

above politics, because they were all about politics; The politics of freedom, the politics of civil rights, and the politics of over coming the oppressor.

8. I'm sorry, but George W. Bush defiles everything he touches

He is an amoral sociopath, a piece of shit who takes pleasure in the pain of others. He's sent thousands of our boys to die and to lives of pain and disfigurment, not for the cause of freedom, but merely for money, and for his own inadequacy as a man. He's destroyed the environment, taken food from the mouths of the poor, and enriched his friends out of the pockets of common people. He has willfully let an entire city die, and has used a terrorist tragedy to advance his racist and sexist political party. He supports a fanatical fundamentalist religion whose goal is to force every man, woman and child into religious bondage. Martin Luther King would be leading the fight against this lunatic if he were still alive, which is more than you can say about the cowards in Washington that carry the banner of our Democratic party. Shame. Shame on them. Shame on the King family, too. I don't care how freaking "proper" it is to invite a sitting president to speak at the funeral of this great woman -- this particular president is diametrically opposed to everything Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King stood for, and it is an atrocity for this smug, arrogant, racist bastard to be allowed in the same room as the body of this woman, much less speak, in what will almost certainly be cliche-filled platitudes which we all know mean nothing to him.

Stand up. Sing this scum out of the church.
