Going insane,
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension,
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike

The Bush Agenda Against Iran
A Play
Characters-- George Bush as Henry VIII, Iran as Scotland.
That is the scenario we are seeing. And what I believe is that John Bolton should loose his penis and NBC news should stop being Georbe Bush's bitch and providing him with a bully pulpit. No more wicked white male trash. And Take condoleeza with you too.

A Change in Positions
I am now for gay marriage. I think it can be quite a revolutionary and radical thing. It may be the key to ending patriarchy...instead of promoting it as I thought it might.
Tuesday, December 04, 2007
Bush should be castrated. Oh what evidence there is for no war with Iran!
Monday, December 03, 2007
Today on The Today Show Natalie Moralez called Hugo Chavez a dictator. Castrate the penis!

Venezuela's Referendums
America's mafia organization, the CIA is trying to operate in Venezuela to try and oust Chavez. May they learn that their penises are flesh and blood! God bless the Bolivaran Revolution!

Work That Lyrics
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Theres so many-a girls
I hear you been running
From the beautiful queen
That you could be becoming
You can look at my palm
And see the storm coming
Read the book of my life
And see I've overcome it
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Wanna hold your head high
Cause you're a pretty woman
Get your runway stride home
And keep going
Girl live ya life
I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it
Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves
Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got
Feelin great because the light's on me
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
Would never happen but God has put his hands on me
And aint a man alive could ever take it from me
Working with what I got I gotta keep on
Taking care of myself I wanna live long
Aint never ashamed what life did to me
[Work That lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
