Being able to forget keeps you young!
Minister With a Past
The Minister of the Interior,
Trotzkist, Maoist
and Ho Chi Minh demonstrator
in his student days,
gave orders to the police
to break up a peaceful
pro-ecology demonstration
with the use of truncheons and dogs.

Black gold is the rub.
Paul Wolfowitz: “…we just had no choice in Iraq.
The country swims on a sea of oil.”
Yes, Wolfy, it’s blood for oil. But it’s no skin off your ass,
is it?
“When Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, supported by (President) Ford,  pushed a plan to have government help develop alternative sources of energy and […]

CNN Opens its Doors to Old Time Religion
After the Times of New York took on that eloquent conservative pundit Bill Cristol, CNN, not to be outdone, invited babe in the woods Tony Snow and tough gal Laura Ingraham onto their sacred secular.
Unfortunately, George W.’s former veracious mouthpiece did not heed Bill O’Reilly’s candid warning: […]

I’ve always claimed that I wanted to have smooth sailing,
but I couldn’t help rocking the boat.
Rocking seems to be in my genes.
The powers-that-be prefer to let things ride,
until the blister breaks and something has to be done.
Riding is invariably comfortable - as well as being profitable.
The revisionists help perpetuate “cruelty in the name of art” […]

Hitler couldn’t have been such a bad person. After all, by intervening against the communists in the civil war, he saved Spain for Christianity. He couldn’t have killed six million Jews. It couldn’t have been more than four million.

Let us also pray for the Jews. So that God our Lord enlightens their hearts so that they recognize Jesus Christ savior of all men. Almighty and everlasting God…mercifully grant that all Israel may be saved.

Jesus did not partake of euthanasia, but his death was dignified because […]

“Again and again there are shameful discussions concerning Austrians having been accomplices or victims. This makes it imperative for me to say that there is certainly no country in Europe that can more adequately describe itself as a victim than Austria!…When there’s a great commotion somewhere, many people will come to cheer. If you mention […]

“The Free Word”
Neue Kronen-Zeitung
March 13, 2008
Otto von Hapsburg, the oldest son of the last Austrian emperor and one of the great Europeans of the first hour, stated at the occasion of a commemoration for the events of March 1938 in parliament „There is no state in Europe that has more right to describe […]

Bill and Hillary
Speaking of Bill and the Mrs.,
in my view, if he had whetted his own cigar,
we wouldn’t be in the Iraqi predicament.
Bill’s a charming and capable fellow,
but I have the old-fashioned view
that if anyone is involved in a pants-down scandal,
or any kind of scandal, he should bow out
and hand the reins over to the […]

Compassionate Rush
Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older
before their eyes on a daily basis?
I am not asking the American people to look at Mrs. Clinton that way.
I’m just asking if they will. Men aging makes them look more
authoritative, accomplished, distinguished. It’s the way it works.
Did aging in office hurt Hillary’s husband, […]

Noblesse Oblige and Hillary
Here’s a dollop of noblesse oblige
from right-winger John Spencer,
Hillary’s former foe for the New York Senate seat:
“You ever see a picture of her back then?
Whew, I don’t know why Bill married her.
Whew, she was hideous before ‘work.’
Noting Hillary Clinton looks much different now,
he chalked it up to “millions of dollars” of […]

The Mouth as Launcher
Helen went off to Troy with Paris,
leaving King Menelaus behind in Sparta.
Helen had the face “that launched a thousand ships,”
ships that carried Greeks to fight a war that lasted a decade.
Monica’s mouth was attached
to what may not be the wrong place
under certain circumstances,
but was the wrong place in this instance,
as far as […]

Bill and Arnie Call a Spade a Spade
Bill looked me and a few other people square in the eye, squinting his eyes,
and said: “I want you to listen to me - I’m going to say this again -
I did not have sexual relations with that woman Miss Lewinsky.”
I believed him then and I still do. […]

Land Mines, Cluster Bombs and the Clintons
The Clintons favor land mines and cluster bombs. Over 150 nations have signed
the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. That year President Bill Clinton refused to sign that treaty. After his election, President George W. Bush declared that the United Stateswould never sign.
In 2006 Senate Amendment No. 4882 would have banned […]

Hillary’s Hands
If Hillary’s in the White House
and the red phone rings,
the little girl sleeping in her bed
can go on sleeping safely
‘cause her life’s in Hillary’s hands.
The child in the eight-year-old clip
is approaching her eighteenth birthday.
She objects to being used in a Hillary ad
and wants to cast her vote for Obama.

Hillary - Hope for the Jingoists
Bush is Nixon all over again
and it’s hitting the fan every day,
McCain is ready to replace W.
but it’s hard to duck the substance
that’s being spluttered by the fan.
The born-again jingoist cruds
have one hope - and that’s Hillary.
Obama is ahead in the Delegate count
and she cannot overtake him.

No foe is hated as much
as the honorable foe.
No foe is countered with such brutality
as the foe with integrity.
That foe is placed at the top
of every hit list,
and when he is beaten, he is beaten
within an inch of his life.
The world must be cleared of heroes
and anyone who stands in the way
of power and […]

There are people on our side
who write for
racist and revisionist tabloids
in order to make their liberal ideas
available to a large readership;
there are people on our side
who forge documents
to exonerate people on our side;
there are those who favor dictatorship
and oppose
a democratic form of government;
those who declare solidarity
with political leaders
responsible for massacres;
those who recommend assassination
as a means […]

A Propos Cleanliness!
This is where
you learn to be clean.
I’ve never seen
so many faucets and sinks,
so much soap
and so many nail brushes.
There’s soaping and soaping,
scrubbing and scrubbing,
brushing and brushing,
rubbing and rubbing,
drying and drying
and wiping and wiping.
At every occasion
the plugs are put in,
the faucets are turned on
and soap is generously applied.
Hands are washed and washed

The Republican Party is the Party of the Righteous,
and its paladins are spearheading
the War Against the “Gay Agenda.”
Here’s Pat Buchanan, the right-wing pundit:
“Homosexuality involves sexual acts most men consider
not only immoral, but filthy. (1)
AIDS is nature’s retribution for violating the laws of nature. (2)
Homosexuality is not a civil right.” (3)

Who’s has the Gray Lady’s new columnist? Guess!
Is it Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly or Bill Kristol?
Here’s Bill K.: “I want to hear less about helping the Iraqi people
and more about winning this war.” (1)
This brings Nixon to Kissinger on Vietnam to mind:
“You’re so goddamned concerned about the civilians,
and I don’t give a […]

These days, when marriage is no longer a social necessity, those who previously had an aversion to the sacred knot, like gays and profligates, are making a bee-line for the altar
Profligates, who enter respectable professions (such as politics), need a cover for changing partners and casual encounters, and what can provide that better than […]

In the Nineteen-Fifties Monsignor Otto Mauer, was instrumental in introducing modern art to post-war Austria. He founded the “Galerie St. Stephan” in Vienna and promoted such avant-garde artists as Wolfgang Hollegha, Josef Mikl und Markus Prachensky.
However, artists came on the scene, whose work transcended theirs in sensationalism. Rather than using such materials as […]

The Federal President has asked me to inform the Austrian people that we will give way to force. We have ordered our armed forces to withdraw without resisting in case the invasion takes place and to await the decisions of the coming hours, for we are not willing to spill German blood at this grave […]

Our friends the Saudis, who are allied with us in the “War Against Terror,” have sentenced a 19 year-old rape victim to 200 lashes and six months in prison. The second part of the sentence will probably not be carried out since the woman is unlikely to survive the first.

Senator Larry Craig of Idaho,

There’s an anti-Semitic website called “Jew Watch.” The gist of what it’s all about is that, wherever there’s any kind of hanky-panky on this globe, the Jew’s to blame.

If you’re black, brown, red, yellow
or a non-Gentile,
you can’t be a WASP,
but you can be “Whitey,”
otherwise known as “The Man.”
(And of course gender

to qualify for that appellation.)
All you have to do
is put your own kind
behind you
and join those who formerly
put you in your place.
They need you now.
There are ticklish situations
