it comes again

I'll just repeat what I wrote last year.

This year I just feel all those things more deeply.

And the fifth holiday (also mentioned here) will be celebrated on August 30.

    Happy birthday indeed. Much love from out west, y'all.

    This calls for Weird Al, of course:

    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you

    Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
    We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
    You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
    A million people every day are starving in the street

    Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
    Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
    There's garbage in the water
    There's poison in the sky
    I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die

    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you

    Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits
    Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
    The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
    Their finger's on the button, all they need is an excuse

    It doesn't take a military genius to see
    We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
    There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
    When they drop the big one, we all get fried

    (Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    wow! (background screaming, sound effect)

    Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
    There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
    There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
    Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed

    I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
    But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
    So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
    Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake

    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    wow!

    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday to you

    (Happy Birthday!)

    And a pinch to grow an inch!

    Oh that takes you back...

    I like They Might Be Giants' birthday (or any day) song:

    You're older than you've ever been,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're even older

    You're older than you've ever been,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're older still

    Time
    Is marching on
    And time
    Is still marching on

    This day will soon be at an end,
    And now it's even sooner,
    And now it's even sooner,
    And now it's even sooner

    This day will soon be at an end,
    And now it's even sooner,
    And now it's sooner still

    [Instrmental refrain]

    You're older than you've ever been,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're even older

    You're older than you've ever been,
    And now you're even older,
    And now you're older still

taking it

In comments here , James brought up an interesting piece. One of the most common questions I hear up here when yet another example of Bushian idiocy, incompetence, or corruption shows up is, "Why aren't people more outraged by this down there? Why isn't anyone making a fuss?" From up here, it often looks like almost everyone's going along with Bush, though that's certainly not the case. Of course, one of the big reasons for that is that the major news networks don't think it's newsworthy when people do make a fuss. But serious opposition to Bush and his policies is almost invisible up here, except to those who make a special point of following US politics from a liberal perspective. I hear this a lot, and it drives me nuts. Millions of Americans are making a fuss. I know because I used to be one of them. Here's my reply in that same thread: A fuss? We were - oh, that's "they are" - making a huge fuss. But the Bushies control all bra...

pity the 1%

"Cash bonuses on Wall Street are expected to drop by 14 percent during this year's 'bonus season'." Only 20 billion dollars will be doled out, with the average bonus totalling $121,000. How sad. That's billion, with a B. Bankers' trophy dates are sad, too . Be sure to click - and read to the end for maximum impact.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...
