Sleeping

les enfants de la guerre ne dancent pas bien ce nuit
ils penseront a la fin de la vie
et quand l’etoile qui se leve a matin
est tombee dances comme tu es fou lapin

we are asleep please don’t wake us today
I’d like to scream but I have naught to say
so I’ll just sleep till my larm clock it sounds
and then I’ll hit snooze till they set loose the hounds

c’est parce-que je t’aime que je parle comme un con
a la piscine avec nous nous allons
nage avec sans moi vetements sans la peur
qui nous derange et nous rendre faux danceurs

American Democracy (Top Ten Finest Moments by VH1)

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/11717105/robert_f_kennedy_jr__will_the_next_election_be_hacked RFK Jr’s Rolling Stone article on election tampering. In it a former Diebold employee talks about how in two incredibly Democratic counties they applied a patch during the 2002 election, which supposedly fixed a clock problem. Apparently there is some circumstantial evidence that it actually was installed to throw the election to the Republican candidate. Oh well, no way to tell for sure since there is no paper trail with these electronic voting machines.

I especially found the comments on Anti-Israeli vs. Anti-Semetic to be rather interesting.
