dr. doooom's answering machine

do you ever think about, like, if a goat was president, the world might be such a simpler place & we all might live in peace & harmony? Cuz if a goat was in charge while crazy peeps were like subjugating ethnic tribes, the goat would just prolly eat some grass and maybe fall asleep, and we wouldn’t get involved, and then we’d never know & no one would be able to say boo, until, well, it got way out of hand and all the pundits and wherewithal masters decided now action was required, rather than inaction, or something like that.

did you know that dr. seuss got his start professionally as a political cartoonist prior to WWII, and he was notorious for his cartoons basically calling out the US and their isolationism and the fact that we didn’t think it involved us that Hitler was taking over the entire civilized world, and we sat on our ass until they bombed pearl harbor and then we decided to pull our heads out of our asses, and I think the point I’m making is that history is just one big case of Monday morning quarterback, na mean? It’s like, it’s easy to say bush fucked up now, even though he prolly did, but at the same time, shit, did we need to wait until fukn joe malone bombed our asses, oh wait, he did didn’t he? Hmmm. And japan bombed us, not germany, that’s what’s so darn interesting about it. ok not really.

I don’t know what my point is in all this, something about world politics and the US’s vacillating policies of intervention, but it got lost somewhere between the rhetoric of, hmmm, I don’t know really. It’s just that, well, in the midst of all this fuck bush kine stuff, which you gotta agree with to a certain extent, and, well, it does just reek of the same kind of jackboot mentality that was apparently rampant in the GOP during Nixon’s reelection campaign, you know, like, pressure on all sides, calling people “hippies” or the modern equivalent if you don’t agree with the status quo, an unpopular war being waged overseas which the US was never directly invited into. And which leads, logically, ok not, but still, into the idea that, hmm, if the Japanese had never bombed our asses, would you be eating borscht and trying to remember what jewish people were like right now? I mean serially. Cuz prior to pearl harbor, the prevailing attitude it seems like, and I wasn’t around so don’t take my word for it, was, shit, it’s not our problem, we shouldn’t get involved.

BUT, and this is a big but, everybody was behind the gun when Sadaam invaded Kuwait, which is what Hitler was doing, invading sovereign nations, and this time he wasn’t, sadaam that is, this time, it’s like, we decided, hmmm, we need a scapegoat for 9-11, and we can’t seem to find Osama, and shit, this guy had the nerve to stand up to my Daddy, so let’s go get him, Rummy, think of some bullshit fast action war plan, and leave our boys out in the middle of nowhere with totally fucked supply lines and no thought as to holding down the farm once we gain control, fuck, it’s totally fucked, which just makes me glad I’m not in charge of US foreign policy, cuz it’s a fuckn hornet’s nest either way you slice it, so I guess that’s why they get the big bucks and get to steal all kinds of porkbellied rollovers.

I wanna end this so bad with some kind of overwhelming point that’ll get you all c&c music factoried, ie, you’ll be saying hmmm, but still knowing that it might be technotronic, but, you know, maybe it’s best to leave it all vague and open thereby being some kind of jack handy’d metaphor for like the book of the month club type shit.
