“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
A Wicker Basket
Comes the time when it’s later
and onto your table the headwaiter
puts the bill, and very soon after
rings out the sound of lively laughter—
Picking up change, hands like a walrus,
and a face like a barndoor’s,
and a head without any apparent size,
nothing but two eyes—
So that’s you, man,
or me. I make it as I can,
I pick up, I go
faster than they know—
Out the door, the street like a night,
any night, and no one in sight,
but then, well, there she is,
old friend Liz—
And she opens the door of her cadillac,
I step in back,
and we’re gone.
She turns me on—
There are very huge stars, man, in the sky,
and from somewhere very far off someone hands me a slice of apple pie,
with a gob of white, white ice cream on top of it,
and I eat it—
Slowly. And while certainly
they are laughing at me, and all around me is racket
of these cats not making it, I make it
in my wicker basket.

Here’s the thing;
CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!
This statement has greater resonance…and it is factually more accurate.
It’s about time someone did this. We need more of it!
In China, year of the rat.
Kinda appropriate:)
Great billboard!
Good sign and it should be the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we look at before we turn in at night but every American I know appears to have already largely forgotten this attack and they’re just happy to be walking around in the glow of their newly acquired release from lockdown…er, freedom.
I’ll wager that people will drive by that sign every day on the way to Walmart or Target and think, “yeah, ain’t that the truth” and then they’ll load up their shopping carts with shit from China and never give it a second thought.
We need one of them in Arizona.
In 2001 the US gov’t did NOT do it’s most important job and thousands of people in the US and all over the world died as a result.
20 years later, again, the US gov’t did NOT do it’s most important job and thousands of people in the US died.
When is enough, enough?
Hey, I live about an hour away from Delmont! Go PA!
CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!
Doesn’t really make you pat your foot, does it?
ghostsniper:
In 2001, the US government failed TWICE.
Once by letting the 9/11 attack happen. And again, once having allowed that, by not responding appropriately as soon as it was known who the perps were. Which I believe was vey quickly indeed.
Having established that, there should have been two fresh Trinitite deposits in Saudi Arabia.
Neither phrases causes me to tap my foot.
However, as I said; “CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!”, is more accurate and I believe carries greater gravitas.
Saying, “China Lied and Americans Died”, is far too narrow an indictment. So much so that it sounds like a fucking political ad and thus, takes away from the seriousness of a Global Pandemic.
Kevin, You can always purchase an ad anywhere you like and put what you think is relevant on it. This ad is specifically for America. Joe Krill
Thanks Joe!
