Last Verse, Same as the First

If you are naturally inclined to view each new American administration as a full death-and-reincarnation in the great coo-coo cosmic karmic cycle of America, then perhaps it will surprise you to hear the insane flakes currently occupying Washington spouting the same pernicious, retarded, bloodthirsty nonsense as their immediate predecessors. If not, not. As I've already noted once or twice, even I find myself modestly surprised by the degree of tonal as well as practical continuity between the once and current kings. Hillary Clinton is an altogether steelier and more terrifyingly hawkish persona than Condi Rice ever was, and her locutions are becoming steadily more Rumsfeldian. What do you mean, a defense umbrella in the Middle East, Secretary Clinton? "We are not talking in specifics. You hope for the best; you plan for the worst."

Joe Biden, that grinning emissary of the eschaton, has a blowzy manner that seems to distinguish him from his terse predecessor, until you listen to him:

“They have a shrinking population base,” Mr. Biden told The Wall Street Journal. “They have a withering economy. They have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years. They’re in a situation where the world is changing before them and they’re clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable.”

Asked whether Mr. Biden’s message was that “the U.S. now has the upper hand when it’s dealing with Russia,” she replied, “No, and I don’t think that’s at all what the vice president meant.”

“We want a strong, peaceful and prosperous Russia,” she said.
Ha ha. Joe Biden says that Russia is a cranky old drunk who hasn't cleaned his shotgun in fifty years. You kids, get off my yard! No, make us, old man! Well, it worked for Eastwood. Clinton, uh, walks it back, although we all know that "strong, peaceful, and prosperous" is Washintonienne for "reliable regional client state."

I just can't wait until China puts nukes on the moon and puts a stop to all of this nonsense in the name of harmoniousness.

No, it's too obvious, so I won't insult anyone's intelligence by saying it.

Nostradamus warned that China and Russia were going to take over America some day. For those of you who believe in prophesy, we may be headed into true, oppressive, communism; not a green world of personal gardens and ultimate freedom. As I recall, Lenin [ed: Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!] made personal gardens illegal, and China controls its people very closely. Just ask the women who are forced to report their menstrual cycles to the government.

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.
