A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING


Snoopy made the feast
The children were not happy
Popcorn and toast? No!

ONLY IN LIZZIE BORDEN COUNTRY (AKA AMERICA)

 

 


Christ on a cracker, take a serious look at the folks that pay good (hard earned money?) to spend a night at the site of this infamous double murder for profit. Only in America.

It comes as no great surprise that many of them are so morbidly obese. (Food to die for? WTH?) An insipid song, a wretched TV movie, and now this dark little house of blood for dollars. Poor little Lizzie Borden. At least she was able to keep her self-important head intact (unlike her doomed Step- Mommie and Daddy Dearest).

Wait! A posh New England jury found her innocent! A good Christian woman could never do such a horrible deed! Indeed. I said indeed! Good day, Sir!

BRUCE COCKBURN: CALL IT DEMOCRACY


I'VE KNOWN TWO LOVES


I've known two loves:
One was the sun
The other was the moon

I've embraced two loves:
One praised the light
The other yelped at the moon

I've lost two loves:
One fell with the sinking sun
One got lost in the seductive moonlight

I've known two loves:
The moon and the sun -
They insanely won't leave me alone.
