It's fall, and it's 95 degrees outside. That just sucks. Miserable weather, miserable lowlifes running the country, and corporate indignities seem to multiply against the common man more every day. Political machinery is broken or bending to the needs of the wealthy, the corrupt, and the insane. Everywhere you look, it seems the Great American Babyboomers are f*cking up the world.  They want their children to have NONE of the freedoms they had growing up, they want the world to give them ALL the resources it contains so they can squander them, and they are willing to fight to the death, (well someone ELSE'S death), to browbeat and destabilize countries and entire regions of the Earth to achieve their objectives.

Democrats? Liars. Republicans? Liars. Corporate thiefs and their windbag lobbyists with massive campaign contributions to hand out? MASSIVE LIARS.

We are playing a game of Liar's Poker with the future my friends. Who can you believe? Why would you believe anyone in today's atmosphere of untruths and vague explanations? Try this, trust yourself.

In fact, I would wager a bet with anyone who wants it, that things are actually getting BETTER. Because you see, the game only works if you don't know they are lying. And to quote the great Leonard Cohen..."Everybody Knows".

If only the men who started wars had to fight. Bush didn't, Cheney didn't. Limbaugh didn't. Everybody knows...If only the companies that sang "Buy American" didn't get all their goods from China. Everybody knows. And if ONLY the flag waving hypochristians would follow the teachings of their Bible. But they don't, and "Everybody knows".

If only the people of America had the convictions and the intergrity of the thousands of Buddhist monks that spoke out and paid the ultimate price recently in Burma. But no, we Americans are too busy worrying about saggy assed wannabe "starlets", Pimping political perverts, and corporate greed pigs. And everybody knows what that will get you. Just look around...

So here's to the soldiers in Iraq who "know" and keep on fighting because they have a sense of duty and honor. Here's to the fathers that carry the weight of their family even though they "know" that society has it out for all men today, but keep on going to work to bring home the bacon. Here's to the workers who don't make in a year what their evil despotic bosses make in a day, but keep schlepping it out for mere pennies just to keep their jobs, because they "know" they are one corporate merger or outsourcing away from destitution. And here's to you and me, the people, we "know"and we keep on going, it's just what we do.

Screw the greedy bastards, they will get what they deserve. I "know" it, and I can't wait for the day when this global game of Liar's Poker bites them in the ass.
