One can do nothing but admire the courage of those who continually attack President Bush, his cronies, and those who believe similar doctrines. In many ways they are like little David, armed only with a slingshot, running directly toward the giant Goliath, bearing weapons of mass destruction, on the battle front. Or Samson attacking a thousand Philistines with a donkey’s mandible.

These modern Davids and Samsons, in attempt to save the little people, helpless victims, from utter subjection to Bush, Halliburton, and other big oil interests, risk their lives and liberty by this strategy. They are the modern day brethren of the signers of The Declaration of Independence, who, by their mere signature risked a blind date with the hangman’s noose with this treasonous activity in the face of the mighty British.

In standing against and speaking out against Bush today, these modern heroes realize the danger. Bush, although as stupid as a box of rocks, has somehow coalesced power in unimaginable ways. He fudged his college grades, IQ test scores, and military record through his powerful daddy. He blatantly attacked Iraq for its oil while causing much of the world to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction. He used UFO technology from Area 51 to entice the electorate to vote him into office for a second term after getting away with stealing the 2000 election. He even caused the development of Katrina by his global warming policies and was able to direct its path into an area that heavily voted Democratic. He delayed assistance to NOLA to punish them because of their race. Courageous men and women speak against him only at their great peril.

These modern day Davids, the true heroes of our generation, have only made one slight mistake in their method of attack on the Philistine– that of armament. With a well directed slingshot in one hand and a jawbone of an ass in the other, they did not consider that mud is not a lethal projectile and that Samson’s jawbone was literally that of a donkey.

It is still an inspirational sight, however, viewing men braving an attack without stones in their bags (detestes scrotus), and women charging with temerity having feet in their mouths and heads inserted where the sun don’t shine (pedis mentis rectus). (That really points to the difficulty in Biblical translation, especially Hebrew-to-English, even in the use of prepositions. Most translations and paraphrases render ‘jawbone of an ass’ while their’s has it, ‘jawbone up an ass’. Easy mistake.)

Hat’s off to these modernist heroes. May the farce be with you.
