The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration.
Listen! the mighty Being is awake!
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
All, all of a piece throughout; Thy chase had a beast in view Thy wars brought nothing about Thy lovers were all untrue. Tis well an old age is out And time to begin a new.
So many morall maters, and so lytell vsyd So myche newe makyng, and so madd tyme spente So myche translacion in to Englyshe confused So myche nobyll prechyng, and so lytell amendment So myche consultacion, almoste to none entente So myche provision, and so lytell wytte at nede — Syns Dewcalyons flodde there can no clerkes rede.
So lytyll dyscressyon, and so myche reasonyng So myche hardy dardy, and so lytell manlynes So prodigall expence, and so shamfull reconyng So gorgyous garmentes, and so myche wrechydnese So myche portlye pride, with pursys penyles So myche spente before, and so myche vnpayd behynde — Syns Dewcalyons flodde there can no clerkes fynde.
I was then perswaded. & remain confirm'd; that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God.
There is no trumping; there is only the piling of offerings upon offerings. Yesterday, Tom Delay. Today, Judith Miller speaks! And William Bennett dissolves (further) into a foul puddle of slime. Tomorrow -- who knows? Perhaps there will be another pretzel.

And then we wonder why African Americans come up with those wacky paranoid genocide theories they're always carryin' on about. Silly black people!
Lately, the Repuglicans have been forgetting to watch the cameras and sayin' what they really think.
"Barbara chuckled as she said: 'So many of the people here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them. What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. Almost everyone I've talked to says: 'We're going to move to Houston.'"
Barbara Bush/William Bennett OTP!!!! Never needs oiling.

That's the joy of watching them lately. The stuff they take for granted, stuff they think is normal, is coming out in ways that make it more and more clear to people that they're from a different planet.
Let's not forget, oh, torture coverups -- Rumsfeld reportedly gave instructions to "break or destroy" that mid-level Captain who told the Senate Judiciary committee about abuses in military prisons. And of course our next nominee for the Supremes may be a legal defender of torture . . .
See, I've been thinking of the Bar/Bill duo together also. I have been finding recent events satisfying, in part because these were probably my two most hated characters from Reagan and Bush I. I spat and fumed with hatred for them, in part on their own merits, in part because they didn't seem sufficiently hated to me. People called William Bennet more sophisticated, smart, decent, not an extremist. Likewise Bar- she was ok, she was pro-choice. No, they were not ok. They were just cackling evil aristocrats, full of disdain and malice, without an ounce of decency. Hypocrites trying to pass as human. I curse them!
Oh, and Bill, if you really want the crime rate to drop? Abort *all* babies, regardless of color! Neat, huh?
