Larisa Alexandrovna: On Liberating Something

Use it or lose it, I guess!

Guest blogged by Winter Patriot

Larisa’s newest blog entry at Huffington Post is called On Liberating Something, and it all sounds extremely liberated, if you ask me.

It starts like this:

It seems that our dear President needs smoke blown up his ass regularly in order to maintain his fine swagger and shit-eating grin.

and I think you’ll enjoy reading the whole thing (in other words, click here!).

    Strongly stated, for sure, but I tend to agree with most of it.

    It’s later than some of us think.

    One person’s liberation is another person’s imprisonment. It’s a human thing.

    And mores form the core for liberating and constraining concepts.

    When intellectual honesty is lost to mob psychology everyone suffers. Some just do not realize they are sick.

    This blog has been open to discussion and we are of the ilk that says "make the truth fun again".

    That is why we rule out Bu$hit The Liar, ruler of darkness.

    Larissa is right WP that bu$hit needs the blue smoke … it is his medication. But he has been misuderdiagnosed and over medicated.

    What he really needs is some jail time.

    Dredd – we can only hope the whole clan goes down because to cut off Bush still allows the gangrene to continue.

    God bless Larissa. She speaks as I feel…totally sick of pussyfooting around that total bunch of obviously evil criminals running the U.S.A. I’m praying that God brings the whole bunch down and out with one final, quick stroke.

    You know, this nation might just have a chance if Fitz indicted the entire administration and Frist and Delay went down to corruption charges.

    Then maybe Republicans of conscience and Dems of conscience could get together and get back to real governing (well, not that what we had before Bush was that great, but it looks great in retrospect).

    WOW! I just heard you on Air America, Larisa, and if I hadn’t already been a huge fan of yours I sure would be now! (You sounded pretty chipper for that hour of the morning if, in fact, I’m hearing AAR live – it’s hard to tell here in Prague, but it sounds like it.) I’d like to see you and Brad share one of their shows! Whatta ya say?

    Brad needs to quit posing, puffing on cancer-sticks–it’s subliminal suicide you know–the smoke blown up GW’s ass, well–tell us something we don’t know

    We are a nation ruled by the lesser-Caesars

    The Fall of Rome

    The government knew they had us,
    when they could keep the herb illegal,

    although we knew it was medicine.

    The government knew they had us,
    when they could sell us the Super Bowl as something more than a football game,

    although we knew it was just a football game.

    The government knew they had us,
    when they sold us the war, wrapped in a red, white, and blue bow.

    although we knew the Domino Theory was bullshit.

    The government knew they had us,
    when the Warren Commission sold us Lee Harvey Oswald, instead of the coup d’etat,

    although they insulted our intelligence.

    The government knew they had us,
    when they could hide their military budget and use it for, whatever,

    and ask for more, whenever.

    The government knew they had us,
    when they could send their cowboys out to tame the world and just create more terror.

    And so we come to our dilemma,
    to watch TV as the world burns,

    to eat TV dinners and get fat on fast food and watch our children get fat,

    and watch our children come back in body bags from all parts of the world,
    and also die in our streets.

    Oh, Government of the Eagle, once proud carrier of the torch,
    where have your powers gone?

    Your power was with the people,
    and your power went away,

    when the people knew you had them.
