Some gifts just keep on giving

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 20, 2011 by B Schiff

Death to the corrupters, the saboteurs, the mercenary clowns.  Death to the rise and loves of sincere autocracy, the rise and loves of right thinking felons,  those free from the sins of the understanding fool, those free from the rise and loves of the devils in the details of all the good flunkies.

Sincere hubris and answers from above.  The strong protect the weak.

Fixers fix.  Some damned things are just too damned important to be damned left alone.

Beyond reproach, the world needs love.

sneers and reprise

And now the apocalypse. It has finally come.

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , on April 19, 2011 by B Schiff

And now the apocalypse.  It has finally come.  The world has finally evaporated and the netherworlds of shadows and specters haunts the winds.  It is come.  The dark terror of yesterdays horrors and fears is come out of the mists of the dregs of time and has brought us to 1937 and its look to the future.

Trust is the love.  The trusting lords and masters.   The trustworthy lords and masters. The eternal battle cry…. “The American people implore me to do my bidding.” We have ourselves come and gone and get to look forward to the past.  Its dreams are ours again.  It visions are ours for a song.  The visit to the strange country of the past is just around the corner.  Bless the beasts and the children.  Again and again.  And with feeling.  Cometh the killers.

And now the dawn looks bright

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on April 19, 2011 by B Schiff

Then and again.  Always then and again.  Always the mystique of humanity in flux.  Always the mystique of humanity traversing the problems of existence in ways practical, necessary, burdening, resting.

Invitations to commingle with the fates come upon us often and we get mellow at the thought.  Forever the mysteries of the fair and noble society haunts our aspirations and our dreams.  Up from the muck comes our climb.  Up from the muck comes the climb of those who see in their own betterment the betterment for all, those who see in the ordered world the safe havens for all, those who see in the world held as a beacon a standard for all.  We have our aspirations, our lusts, our meaningful diversions.  We have our firm foundations of good moral backbone and glorious antecedents in whose memory we cherish the fight.  Honor.  Always honor.  The gods appreciate honor.

Easy sometimes

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on April 17, 2011 by B Schiff

Easy sometimes.

Heroic measures stand for staunchness against the floods of barbaric pressures.  Heroic measures are bloody but unbowed, tough and straight as a steel arrow, suffer no fools and right all wrongs.

Pretty pictures

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on April 15, 2011 by B Schiff

Ideas  rip the blood of bad actors of no repute and aria singers of no legend.  Unorthodox hard edged filters of desperation protect us from the no nonsense void.  Life churns.  The humble ruminate.  The grand reflect.  The rooted sincere have no idle moments.  We all draw pretty pictures.

Rat bastards and sultry party girls  know public interest.  Deficient lay persons come awash with scandal and comprehension.  The thoughts of the  fates  are the stuff of legend while public minds and group clouds make definitive statements.   Right thinking wonders are never astray while cogent minds contemplate their navels and grovel at the feet of those who know better.

Surveys of note.

Not tomorrow

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , on April 14, 2011 by B Schiff

Dark actors stave off will and protection.  Weak actors stave off  glory and backbone.  Anarchy, off blue saviors, the color of  any which way you wish.

Good bedfellows sing me sad songs.  Good bedfellows bless the beasts and the children.  Good thieves are good enemies.

Please protect me from freedom.  Please protect me from protection.  Let me habituate in the wild and be an animal.

Government is a rant.  The oppressive might of the wage slave is an illusive quality.  Where to find a balance?  Where to find the love?  The tears of a clown.

Complacency, protection.  Private.  Public.  The head spins.  My individuality.  My community.  My world.  My rough hewn self.  My charismatic, empathetic heart.  Oh, the misery of existence.  The traps of my tears.  The cries of my conscience.

Washington Post….

The pure of the lure

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on April 13, 2011 by B Schiff

Policy is the property of the thoughtful, the innovated, the non disingenuous.  It is a reasoned thing  covered in the necessary language of the love.  It is a basic image of a picture. It is a basic simpleton of a picture of an image of a cluster of a backwater.

Policy is the logic of the gods.

The lure of the pure.

Here comes the past

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on April 12, 2011 by B Schiff

Democracy……just the sound of the word…the texture of its artful arcane syllables cascading out of the mouth, over perched and parched lips….the breaths deepen, the body tremors, and there is a comforting sniffle to back up the hope and pride.

The grand and great religion of the non secular masses.  The grand and great religion of the sweet, lovely secular champions of honesty, honor and fair play.  the end point of all politics.  The fair shake for all mankind.  We get it.  We got it.  We import it.  We sell it.  We cherish it.  We mangle it.  We push it through hell to see if it is or is not a cardboard illusion.  Tis a strong thing this Democracy.  it mirrors many images.  It shows off many hues and colors.  it is purposeful and pure anything of care and caring.  Always to be improved.  Always to be made superior and worthy.

Bang goes the money trap.  Rat tat tat goes the fix.  Stomp stomp goes the rants.  And the melting pot just melts all charges to a shiny statue of group wisdom.

Who skews? And why not?…Who plays and takes the spoils?  And why not?

On the supremes and their proclivities.

To think a world deeply

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on April 11, 2011 by B Schiff

Always the nature of fun and games.  The workings of societies and systems soar the heart, spring the spirit.  The bum outsiders know all and change is always needed and all unentrenched minions are never wont to not be open for the better worlds that await…..and await with dreamy fervor.

A simple game to get from A to B.  The world changes.  It sways in ways honorable and profound.  Except when it does not.  Those of good will are always wished well by those of good will.  The guns matter…. all manner and stripe.  The rancid little polka dot guns of simple salvation matter.  Bang bang you are a dumb bastard.

Two views on things that are newly minted……an analysis of Italy….The grand Italians…..a tear for the structure and questions that seem to bear thought and warrant refection.
