All I saw was about the Philippines which made me wonder why our citizens don't similarly rise up & demand an end to this regime. But I sure like the way Chavez thumbs his nose at Bush. Don't know much about Citgo ... need to learn more.<BR/><BR/>AND since you're a fellow fan, did you know CJ McDonald is alive & well & has a great website? www.countryjoe.com (I stumbled across one day "fishing") There's a lot of good stuff, but try clicking on "current issues of war & peace" for updated Fixin to Die Rags for Afghanistan & Iraq. I loved "Come on Dubya, better move fast, Our gas is burning & it won't last ... Aren't you glad you don't have sons 'cause we're callin' up the Guard for this one!" Oh, irreverent as Hell, but fun.

Just seemed there was so much anti-war sentiment running thru that entire album. It just spoke to me.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, watching Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman today, I was cracking up as she showed Hugo Chavez. He was really taking it to Bush & Co. and it couldn't be funnier if it had been a skit on Saturday Night Live. <BR/><BR/>Directing his Citgo to provide cheap fuel oil for low income households in the eastern U.S., citing the growing numbers of those falling below poverty levels. Who could reject his compassion for the poor of this increasingly impoverished nation? Well, it wasn't beneath one of our congressman to question it. Which reminds me, when I heard this the absurdity level of the day just doubled or tripled because a particular Texas representative wants to investigate Chavez and his Citgo cutting the price of energy, but our domestic oil companies can reap record profits and refuse to appear before congress on their windfall profitsm, but that's not worthy of investigation. Give the poor a break and it is. <BR/><BR/>God this is a sick nation.Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1140812194152758702006-02-24T13:16:00.000-07:002006-02-24T13:16:00.000-07:00I like the "Hearts" analogy even tho' coming from ...I like the "Hearts" analogy even tho' coming from Vegas, I view all card games as just another way to lose money! Humm, maybe that's analogous to bankrupting our country.<BR/><BR/>And the Doors, wow, I saw them perform in Vegas! Don't remember much (!) except a lot of girls swooning for Big Jim. Also saw Country Joe & The Fish at the Natl Guard Amory in Vegas & heard the "Fixin to Die Rag" for the first time ... "and it's one, two, three, what're we fightin' for?"<BR/><BR/>But on a darker level, after seeing CNN Intl this AM about civil war in Iraq & then Democracy Now about widespread protests in the Philippines, I wonder if any of that makes any difference to our criminal leadership. If there were protests akin to Tianamin Sq here, our tanks would just roll over the protestors. D.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
