The Red Brick Times

Tonight our Public Broadcasting System (y'know, the network supported by our tax dollars, except when they're shilling for CitiBank and ADM) is broadcasting a National Memorial Day Concert. An "annual tribute to America's military personnel"! They gots lots of people in the audience. The camera pans the crowd and I can't help but look for Paul Wolfowitz. I mean damn, if you're talking "America's military personnel" who's more important than him? Oops, I forgot, he resigned in disgrace. Well, how's about Don Rumsfeld? Oops, ditto. Wait, wait, Colin Powell! No, he didn't resign in disgrace (well, come to think of it, yes he did) but doesn't seem to have the balls to show up tonight either. At least not in the crowd. Probably drinking 30 year old scotch somewhere with Paul and Don. Cowardly fuckers.

I got an idea for the concert next year. How's about we skip Natalie Cole singing "God Bless America" and have an old time roman spectacle instead? I'm thinking Paul and Don and Colin with, I dunno, how about lions? Big hungry ones! No, thats too good for them and, come to think of it, lions might not want to stoop that low. Aargh!

Ok, ok. I got pissed off there for a second. Thank you for letting me vent. But Damn!

I've been informed that Colin Powell was indeed there and even spoke.

Oops.

No lions though.
