dis and dat on a sunday night

dr john and the neville brothers were beyond words!

scotty, i got to hear aaron neville sing AMAZING GRACE and he sang the verses we couldn't come up with. unfuckingbelievable. it was great!

over the past three years of this blog i have said over and over we need to get our ass out of the middle east. we meddle, we sign agreements with isreal that are not in our best interests but theirs, we give money to egypt and take money from the saudis, we do the biddings of the kuwaitis, we invade iraq, we threaten iran, we invade afghanastan, piss off pakistan, bomb by proxie the syrians, abandon the kurds and invest in dubai. we are so incredibly stupid and arrogant. we don't read history and get our information from 30 second sound bites.

so just some thought from other bloggers, much more knowledgeable than i, throughout history.....



Now it is not good the the Christian's health to hustle
the Aryan brown,

For the Christian riles, and Ayran smiles and
he weareth the Christian down;

And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name
of the late deceased,

And the epitaph drear; "A fool lies here who tried
to hustle the east."

---Rudyard Kipling, "the naulahka"


"You have eyes but you do not see
And you have ears but not hear."
