Sure, you say R.I.P. to these celebrities, but are you going to say the same
for me? What does R.I.P. mean anyway? Roar In Pride? Rebirth Is
Propositional? Reason Is Problematic? Regeneration Involves
Putrefaction?-- I could go on for hours, getting grosser and grosser. The
thing is, why do we honor the death' of celebrities? I've never known a
celebrity. I once got within a hundred yards of Elvis, but he didn't
acknowledge me. Tupelo Asshole! Here's my point just in case you'r
wondering what the hell it is -- it is this....... Oh, Christ, now I can't
remember what I was going to say. It had something to do with envy and
resentment and jealousy and feeling unappreciated and all that stuff. --
It'll come back to me in a minute. Meanwhile let's talk about our
President. This is all I have to say: Get the fuck out of Iraq, out of
Afghanistan, out of Pakistan. For God's sake, Hussein, we didn't elect a
socialist-Marxist-Muslim-terrorist-Kenyan President to continue the policies
of George W. Bush (i.e. Dick Cheney). We want jihad against the Republican
demons. Do it now!!!
Ach! I'm worn out. Maybe tomorrow I'll continue my rant.
