"Looking for a suspect"
Great tale, MZ. Regards to your mom from the ‘spendables.
I don’t have a story to add just this minute, but there is this sorry attempt at legislation: http://tinyurl.com/ywxhsr Apparently it is ready to pass bipartisan (sic) muster in the House.
Posted by Zen Prole on from Urth 10/29 at 11:09 AMHey Zen. Where is everyone?
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Texas 10/29 at 05:27 PMTwo days off from the war, where I wark..
terrible human relations, apathy, withdrawal..
Incoherence responding to incoherence..The Arab Lady tells me I at least know
I live in the “Bellie of the Beast”What beast, whose beast?.. my beat, their beast
our beast, what to do?I found myself having difficulty speaking
to this woman, I am so exhausted I couldn’t
express anything and I wanted to let her know
I feel her sadness...do I, can I?Whose sadness do I feel, theirs, hers..
ours, mine?Feeling the violence..am I violence?
Do I know how to be in the midst of all
this insanity and not be It?Each day the barbarians are ripping apart
more and more and here..the same thing
is happening in different form.People want to control other people
doesn’t work, there are people who
want their life regimented, dictated,
doesn’t work either..The colonel said, with more controls
the government then becomes the problem
The government is and has always been
a problem...The war is too large
everywhere..Posted by joe of maine on from 10/29 at 07:16 PMgood collection of stories micky.
hello everyone.
this story is about the old saying ‘a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing’
when i was at school we were supposed to wear a uniform. as uniforms went it wasnt so bad, it was black white and gold - the school next door had an all brown one and they used to take a fair amount of verbal abuse for it.
anyway, i used to refuse to wear the unifrom and so was always in trouble. however, because i always did well in my classes i was never treated the way that some of the kids who were in different sorts of trouble were.
there was a long-sleeved t-shirt i used to wear quite often that was the cover of the newspaper on the day that MLK was shot.
one of the more stupid specimens in this catholic school came up to me semi-outraged and said “what are you wearing that for - he is the one that invented protestants”
that was about 17 years ago and i still don’t think i have a response!
Posted by michael on from scotland 10/30 at 05:16 AMNice weather here in Dubya Land. It’s good to help out my parents with some cleaning, shopping, etc...plus, a little pumpkin carving for good measure.
Excellent story, as always, Michael.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Texas 10/30 at 12:57 PMPart of an Arab Woman’s story titled, ‘Virus’
“In short, the virus of Genocide. A Genocide happening in front of your very eyes. And you can’t come later and say you were not told.
My rage is never ending...truly never ending, as I witness the so many levels of crimes you people have committed and the so many levels of lies you people have lied and the so many techniques of murder you people are using...Never ending.
Truly a disgrace to anything called a Human Being.And I still see some giving support to those genocidal psychopaths like Muqtada al Sadr. And I still see some engaging in preemptive mourning for the equally criminal Iran instead of denouncing its role in the hell which is now Iraq. And I still hear that Iraq has to wait and grill away further, on the back burner. And I still see some totally living in willful denial, cajoling themselves as to how civilized their American/ Western world is.
Now I feel much sicker. Truly sick. This nasty flu is nothing in comparison.
It is a sickness I am unable to get rid of and unable to heal…
The sickness that comes from realizing that my country is very ill, debilitated by a feverish illness, diseased, ailing, crippled, agonizing...gone for ever.
The sickness that comes from realizing that You are that killer virus that is ravaging Her body away...”Posted by joe of maine on from 10/30 at 02:23 PMHeres a story that warms my heart:
BERLIN (Reuters) - A 19-year-old German woman has escaped from prison by hiding in a friend’s suitcase.
The fugitive hid inside the large case when her 17-year-old fellow inmate was released from the youth prison in northwest Germany on Friday, Lower Saxony ministry spokesman Dennis Weilmann said on Monday.
The girl simply walked out of the building with her friend concealed in her luggage, Weilmann said.
“Our staff are going to make sure they inspect big suitcases more carefully in the future,” Weilmann said.
Neither of the teenagers has since been caught. Both had been jailed for theft. The escaped prisoner had less than two weeks left to serve.
Great stories Micky and Michael, thanks.
