Dr. Omed's Tent Show Revival featuring Dr. Omed's Patented Oil of Prosody and the dancing Elders of the Seventh Day Atheist Aztec Baptist Synod. Fair and Balanced since 8/14/03 00:12AM GMT
Now that Dr. Omed is back from his usual autumn withdrawal into the hinterlands of misanthropy, anomie, and anhedonia (I no longer hate you all, just most of you.), I would like to give thanks; thanks to Meg, specifically. At Meg's Blogcabin, I found refreshment and stimulation for my SADD spirits. She warmed the cockles of my black little heart. The reason for this, and I say this in all seriousness and with great affection, is that Meg intuitively grasps, and wholehearted, unselfconsciously, and joyfully embraces the essential narcissism of solipsistic e-journalism, also known as blogging. Keep looking in that mirror, Meg, you're beautiful.
(ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF TESTICULAR REGENERATION AND RECHORDATION):
Long-serving Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), known for his strong national security position, calls for U.S. troops to be withdrawn from Iraq as soon as possible. Murtha, a mainstay on the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Defense, originally supported the war in Iraq. A Marine Corps veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, Murtha served in the reserves until he was 58.
I was chatting last night with an old friend I hadn't seen for a while. Her son is an inverterate world traveller, the kind that travels light, backpack, bedroll, campstove, change of cloths, like that. He had been touring South America recently, and when he came back to visit his Mom, he told her that he had never talked politics so much in all his life. On the road, my friend's son meets many other touristas from other countries and according to my friend, almost everyone he met universally condemned the Bush regime and its policies, and many, so many that it was notable, compared Bush to Hitler, advantage Hitler. Yes, some thought Bush was worse than Hitler. The people of the world hate the man. They think we have lost our marbles, that Americans have succumbed to mass delusion and have gone collectively insane. This comes to me third hand, but if even a tithe of this is true, all those prayer warriors behind the red curtain have their work cut out for them if they expect to defeat Satan anytime soon.
CLUE GUN FOR MISTER BUSH: CAN YOU SAY "PAPER TIGER?"
His Loveliness the Pope (SDAABS), the Reverend and Doctor Omed grants remission of mortal sin to any pilgrim or seeker that folds and send an origami tiger to resident Bush at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW,Washington DC, 20500. Unfortunately, Dr. Omed has been unable to google up online instructions for folding an origami tiger. If I could find my copy of Angelfish to Zen, I could scan it. For remission of venial sin, just send the image above, alone or perhaps with an appropriate haiku, by email to: comments@whitehouse.gov
