Just found out they've let 20 more people go at the hospital, yesterday. What kind of a holiday wish is that? And, what does that tell you about the supposedly stable economy, courtesy of the Nazi-Bushwacker regime? War, no matter where the oligarchs choose to wage it, ain't gonna prop up any bubble economy [based on a pyramid scheme of derivatives and junk bonds], or what's left of the dwindling middle-class, and exponentially increasing "former" middle-class-fast- approaching-lower-class slobs, such as myself, and/or my patients. Fascists neo-con bastards ruining it again for 20 more families, and God-only-knows how many others, nationwide. They're not wishing anybody a "Happy" anything. Their Holiday Greeting to themselves is on the order of "Take The Money And Run." What we need is an FDR to rein in this conglomeropolis of unregulated excess, passing itself off as the U.S. Government. I don't mind paying taxes, and even voted to do so, just as long as it meant there'd be jobs kept on the homefront. Seems like we're taxed to death, yet the fascists keep saying how they're making it tax-free for everyone. Who might that be? Because it sure in hell ain't a single female, with no liquid assets, and a non-homeowner, such as myself. That said, I sincerely hope for the best for all concerned this "Holiday" season.

Myra Bronstein Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 And here's a little something I like to call... a little something. Song by someone who used to be my favorite artist, until he sold his anthem as a commercial... Anyways, without further ado... Christmas In Washington Lyrics by Steve Earle It's Christmastime in Washington The Democrats rehearsed Gettin' into gear for four more years Things not gettin' worse The Republicans drink whiskey neat And thanked their lucky stars They said, 'He cannot seek another term They'll be no more FDRs' I sat home in Tennessee Staring at the screen With an uneasy feeling in my chest And I'm wonderin' what it means Chorus: So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again somehow If you run into Jesus Maybe he can help you out Come back Woody Guthrie to us now I followed in your footsteps once Back in my travelin' days Somewhere I failed to find your trail Now I'm stumblin' through the haze But there's killers on the highway now And a man can't get around So I sold my soul for wheels that roll Now I'm stuck here in this town Chorus There's foxes in the hen house Cows out in the corn The unions have been busted Their proud red banners torn To listen to the radio You'd think that all was well But you and me and Cisco know It's going straight to hell So come back, Emma Goldman Rise up, old Joe Hill The barracades are goin' up They cannot break our will Come back to us, Malcolm X And Martin Luther King We're marching into Selma As the bells of freedom ring Chorus [Amen] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Meredith Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks Ter for the Bruce song. In 1988 my daughter and I drove to Philly from Boston to see the Amneysty International concert and driving thru Bruce's hometown I insisted that Christa- then 16 and not a Bruce fan- listen to this song. "My Hometown". Of course the Boss closed that concert in Philly. And then Christa became a fan. You can't see that man live and not become a fan. Ain't that right, James ? (Richards).

I was just using the words to that tune to make a point about those folks who had just lost their jobs in time for Christmas. The "Boss" would've been right proud. Hey, and let's thank Myra for the Stevie Earle contribution. That was right on, as well, or spot on, as the Brits and Aussies say. Thanks, Myra.
