"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"
           -"Subterranean Homesick Blues", by Bob Dylan

"Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real,
The hour when the ship comes in.

Oh a song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline.
And the sun will respect every face on the deck,
The hour when the ship comes in."
        -"The Hour When The Ship Comes In", by Bob Dylan

To Bernadine and Bill:  We have not forgotten you.  The struggle goes on.



I am sure that the families of the murdered Police Officer and the armored car worker will not forget either.  


American Girls and American Guys
Weaall always stand up and salute
Weaall always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
Thereaas a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyinaa in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakinaa her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, itaas gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringinaa her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And youaall be sorry that you messed with
The U. S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakinaa her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, itaas gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringinaa her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Coming back from an extended business trip across the globe ... this "patriotic" song is the brain-child of some ill-informed writer, who does not understand the world loves our culture and our people [yes, this includes Middle East as well!] ...  don't get interactions of Neocons and their counterparts/adversaries globally too personally!  

These neocons who have had the ear of Bush are now fully exposed, and in the next election, we will know whether the majority of us [U.S.] supports this bunch.

The world is not entirely what we see through Foxnews, CNN, or MSNBC ...

The news must come from East, West, South and North, otherwise, it is propaganda ... Benjamin Franklin [I think!]

I too have traveled all over the world and consider myself lucky to be an American.  The point I was making was Meteorologists obvious admiration of a terrorist organization that deserves no admiration.

.....and,
Something is happening and you don't know what it is,
Do you,

Mr Jones.
