A lot of people won't get no justice tonight...

Best street art I’ve seen lately (on scaffolding, 91st Street and 1st Avenue): a photo of one of the Bush twins (does it really matter which one?) in her limo sticking her tongue out at the camera with the caption “his kid,” paired with a photo of soldiers’ coffins shrouded in American flags marked “your kid.”

Class war, anyone?

You can bet that if this SOB wins again, a draft is going to be instituted to win the all-encompassing “war on terror” in Iraq (instead of simply shutting down Osama bin Laden and his thugs, and then rebuilding Afghanistan and Iraq). And many more kids will be shipped home in pine boxes after November 2nd, when our troops will be ordered in to retake all the so-called “no go” zones in Iraq (Fallujah, Najaf, and other Sunni triangle cities). Plus, the relatives of the people that we’ll accidentally kill in the name of god, democracy, and freedom will, no doubt, want to return the favor tenfold to us and our children.

Reminds me of this lyric from The The’s “Armageddon Days (Are Here Again)” about Christian armies mounting religious wars: “Watch the ships sail out of the harbor/and the bodies come floating back…” (On The The’s “45 RPM: The Singles” this track is followed by “The Beat(en) Generation…reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation.” It refers to Thatcherite England, but may be even more accurate a description of the sad state of affairs in the US of A. At least Johnny Marr's guitars shimmer beautifully.)
