NASA drops a vehicle the
size of a jeep on the Martian surface. I applaud. Texas Republicans want the
state’s children taught that the Earth is only 6000 years old and, by logical
extension, so is Mars. (Although by some mutation of string theory, logic may
not function in Texas any more even though it’s gripped by the drought and
fires of climate change.) I sigh.
Homicidal Nazis can’t tell Sikhs from Moslems or Batman. I weep. Then Pussy
Riot puts me to shame. MC5, Joe Strummer, or even The Deviants never did time
for just performing. Is the battle outside raging? Will it soon shake our
windows and rattle our doors? Or will the distractions prove too great? The
2012 Olympics threw the UK into a maelstrom of gaudy and undignified
patriotism. Winston Church, William Blake, the Industrial Revolution, David
Bowie, and Naomi Campbell are rolled out to celebrate. Such is our national
pride. I try to ignore all the inappropriate Union Jacks but I sense Theme Park
GB draws near. So issue the fucking Robin Hood costumes and Womble suits and
let’s get to our total humiliation. Or are those V For Vendetta Guy Fawkes
masks also part of the deal?

good to have you back.
I liked the Olympics.
I am not going to like the economic legacy
G'evening Doc... you must have been asleep when they dragged Wat Tyler out to do a turn on Sunday...
gentlemen, the time of life is short!
& if we live , we live to tread on kings...Shakespeare's, Henry IV ~
btw; could have washed the carpet while ya were away..I always have to wipe me feet when I leave..hahaHa
England and the states are in a race to be the biggest theme park...
Hope you had a good break. Yes, the whole deal with Pussy Riot is shameful, and it's good that you raise it. Mind you, I don't have a clue what their music sounds like, not that it probably matters. Did it ever with the Deviants? (only kidding)
You may applaud, but Gale Crater looks a colossally dull place, worse even than parts of Reading. Curiosity seems somehow large, Republican and bombastic - Opportunity (smaller, still hanging in there on Mars after eight and a half years) is much more fun.
Church + Government = Fascism.
Age old archetypes witchdoctor/tyrant alliance.
