••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

tearjerker

in the name of deficit reduction:

• medicaid cuts, for seniors' home care and for children—forcing states to cut aid or take a loss

• food stamp cuts—which affect not just the poor but military families, whose medical care already got cut guess when: march 2003, the same month we went to war

• school lunch cuts

• student loan cuts

• foster care cuts

• ....

oh, btw, folk with incomes over $200k get $70B in tax cuts, supposedly to stimulate the economy—as in "a rising tide lifts all boats."

all this "compassion" from cons gets ya all choked up, don't it? maybe what raises the tide is tears.

one o' these days, gotta get me a boat....
