An American Apology

My country, ’tis of–WHATTTT??!

Are we REALLY demanding an apology

From the President of Ukraine

After trying to shake him down

For half the mineral resources

Of his COUNTRY

In return for our support??

Haven’t we acted in bad faith

By acting like a Mob protection racket

When the real issue,

The crucial issue,

Is STOPPING THE AGGRESSION

Of the Putinistas?

An apology is in order, all right.

But since it is unlikely to come

From a pair of bullyboy draft-dodgers,

It will come from me.

I, Gary Bowers, Citizen

Of the United States of America,

Apologize on behalf of my wayward country

For unfair stances taken and acts performed

Since late January of this year, including,

But not limited to,

Our in-progress betrayal of Ukraine

And our NATO allies

For the sake of appeasing

The rapacious, murderous despot,

Vladimir Putin,

And his minions and ilk.

I acknowledge that the agenda

Of America’s current leaders

Is beyond shameful.

I pray that the United States of America

Of 2025

Does not sink further into its descent

Into unmistakable similarity

To Third Reich Germany

Of the 20th Century.

Sincerely,

Gary Bowers

Citizen of the United States of America

“They’re eating the dogs…they’re eating the cats…they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” Donald Trump, of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio

it is said that there is more than one way to skin a cat/but if you are hungry and possessed of a box cutter/you will probably opt for the reverse ziplock method

or you would if you did but you don’t so you won’t/since you don’t eat cats nor dogs/but instead have been lied about/by the man who called your former country/a “shithole nation”

but you can have fun if you have culinary skills/you can whip up whipping cream and sugar and pomegranate and put it in a pastry tube/and sculpt little kittens and call them “the cat’s me-yow”

or add a bit of venison to your ground beef and onion with ketchup glaze and serve up some steaming “mutt loaf”

but whatever you do, vote legally and blue

voting red is just too…carnivorous

The Hideous Idiocy of the WALL

wall 2019 0122

Decades ago, Ronald Reagan said, “Mr. Gorbachev–TEAR DOWN THAT WALL.” Many cheered, and behold, some time after the Wall came down.

Decades later, a candidate for President of the United States said, over and over again, in many different ways, “We’re gonna build a big, beautiful Wall–and WE’RE GONNA GET MEXICO TO PAY FOR IT.” Many cheered, and helped elect him. I was not one of them.

Here is something I published on Facebook on January 20.

It has occurred to me, as I am sure it has occurred to the enemies of America, that the Wall if built will make the US more, not less, vulnerable. Because anyone with enough money to buy some cheap explosives, and a radio-controlled airplane ( cheaper than a drone), will be able to make the Wall much more expensive, with a return on the terrorist dollar of at least 100 to 1. Blow a little hole in The Wall and it will cost US many, many more times to repair it than the peanuts it costs for the stuff the bad guys can use. It doesn’t have to be a big hole, either. Just something to get the party started.

Wall supporters, PLEASE tell me I’m wrong, and prove it. If you succeed, we will all sleep better at night. If you don’t, or more likely cannot, then please a) stop supportIng this useless Wall; and b) stop supporting this useless Administration.

Look how vulnerable the Towers were. Do we really want to set ourselves up for more tragedy?

Our fine and fancy US Government has been shut down by a despot who, for reasons of his own, or perhaps those of the ones pulling his puppet strings, wants to throw billions of dollars at a hideous, idiotic project. I am protesting with the non-violent means available to me here. I hope my voice is heard.
