    Hail to the Chief, or God Bless the King???

    Dear Former Citizens of the United States Of America;

        We former citizens of this great democracy should be happy that our new King George & his Lord Dick should consent to speak of their desire to give of our wealth, health, and lives of our youth for their ambitions, and not make those disturbing noises in opposition. We chattel should know our place and not trouble ourselves with the judgments of our King and his Lords of Neo-Con.

     The constitution is what our king should wish it to be, and we should be pleased we have the freedoms he allows us today, and not risk his displeasure with what remains of them.

     Welcome to the Kingdom of America, God Bless Our King, King George the Bush, and his trusted Lords Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, and Donald Rumsfeldt. We are but chattel for their desires; we should be so pleased to have surrendered our civil liberties, our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for his righteous leadership.

    So we mourn the death of the democracy of the United States of America, and so ‘long live the King?’

     Happy Thoughts;

                                 Dan Grady

    The <abbr title="The Democratic Party Headquarters - 503-239-8646">Donkey Stable</abbr> - at two three two northeast ninth - needs more volunteers.

    Generous CubeSpace, donating many phone lines, needs volunteers too: six two two southeast grand "ave". (this is "<abbr title="A poetic form, like haiku, but consisting of an additional two lines, both of which are seven syllables each.">tanko</abbr>" - not haiku)

    Voted in Portland. May yet float to the river and out to the sea.

    In the middle of forty days and forty nights --short on animals.

    Fall in Oregon, can the election distract from the rain, rain, rain?
