My baby's bleeding out.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

I know the end of this.

We were sitting in our center room,

With my mother, sons and brothers.

They shot right through the gate, the walls,

The flesh.

Searching for his uncle.

Who still fights the fight.



They expect me

to let them know

where my brother is.


I tell them I don't know.

Can they get my child some help?


They carry him away.

I know for a last time.

I have seen my child

I have seen my brother.

This world's all messed up.


It's the end

as far as I know.

It's the end.


My baby's gone,

I've told upon my brother.

And they want me to be free.


end.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

5. Thanks... That one hurt coming out.

[troubleinwinter]

7. Yes, it hurts.

It does not hurt this one:

On December 4, 2001, Bush was asked, "How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?" Bush replied, "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower--the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there. I didn't have much time to think about it." Bush repeated the same story on January 5, 2002, stating, "First of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error, and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake...."

He never feels anything in his response. "I said", "I said", "I thought", "I was amazed".

8. the man is blind.

[troubleinwinter]

9. blind, heartless, soulless, unfeeling.

[Carni]

21. Not to mention he COULDN'T have seen the first plane on TV

The film of the first plane hitting the North Tower was not released until HOURS after the plane hit--the only film taken of that specific event, was in the camera of the two French guys doing a documentary on NY firefighters. They did not get that film to the press until like noon -- Bush could not have seen the first plane on TV yet he told that lie verbatim TWICE...WHY??????

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

22. Because truth is an afterthought with the man.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

12. Thanks, I'm good.

The Lounge isn't the place for this either. IMHO.

It's a topic for GD, I just like to write in a different format here and there.

Peace.

19. The Bush Administration in a nutshell....

You could easily trace it back historically through PNAC and its predecessors though.

[Peter Frank]

20. Bingo...

These radical wackos are now in control.

They deserve all they attention that they get. Don't arbitrarily leave them out of any political discussion.
