Politics We're going to war with Iran!

All wins. The lizard people were in retreat until we almost elected their leader, Hillary Clinton, president.

 

Given that it is black history month, we should think of the great Rodney King, who said "Can't we all just get Ebola?"

I would actually support going to war with Australia. I have said multiple times in this forum that we should only invade countries that the average citizen wants to visit.

 

We've got to take the roos.

Autopsy

Last night, I dreamed that my passport bled.
I dreamed that my passport was a tombstone
For our United States, recently dead.
I dreamed that my passport was made of bone—

That it was a canoe carved out of stone.
"But I can't swim," I said. "I will drown
If I can't make the shore. I'll die alone
In the salt. No, my body will be found

With millions of bodies, all of them brown."
I dreamed that my passport was a book of prayers,
Unanswered by the gods, but written down
By fact checkers in suits. "There are some errors

In your papers," they said. Then took me downstairs
To a room with fingernails on the floor.
I dreamed that my passport was my keyware,
But soldiers had set fire to the doors,

To all doors—a conflagration of doors.
I dreamed that my passport was my priest:
"Sherman, will you battle the carnivores
Or will you turn and abandon the weak?

Will you be shelter? Or will you concede?"
Last night, I dreamed that my passport was alive
When it entered the ICU. It breathed, it breathed,
Then it sighed and closed its eyes. It did not survive.
