and it really got her down, you know, it's so sad, I mean, he left her, like, with two kids and another one on the way . . .
is she pregnant aGAIN?
yes! and you know he just took off - BAM! gone! - and she's wondering how she's going to make the rent, because she can't even find him now, he's not answering his cell, all she knows is he took off with some spic hairdresser from Queens!
how does she know that?
because it was HER hairdresser!
oh!
well, anyway, maybe she really should've seen it coming, like, you know, she DID catch him making out with her half-sister in the foyer of the church the day they got married.
definitely a snapshot of the future, sure enough!

Overheard at the Counter: Why even the homeless would vote Republican
Lucky Moran, sitting at the counter with Niall Carter and John Steppenwolf, says, "When I think about times like these, with the debt ceiling about to come crashing down on us and all, I'm reminded of something I learned all those years I spent working next door at Second Hand Rose . . .
"I'll never forget, this guy came in, typical indigent, smelling bad, clothes rotting right off his body, bandage wrapped around his arm where he'd just donated plasma, and you could see every missing and rotted tooth in his mouth, because he was ranting about something (and this was the 90's, so it was probably about Lewinsky), but he said, 'I will NEVER vote Democrat! I will ALWAYS vote Republican, because the day I make my millions, the Republicans won't take it away from me!'
"And it was so sad, to see that. And me, still being a young man at the time, and a little mouthy, just shot back at him, 'Dipwad! They already HAVE!'"

Overheard at the Counter: Norwegian Psycho-Killer Christian or not?
Niall Carter: Now I know the world's ending.
John Steppenwolf: Why's that?
Niall Carter: Because I actually agreed with something Bill O'Reilly said.
John Steppenwolf: That's not too surprising. Evil CAN speak truth when it's convenient for the overall goal.
Niall: True, I suppose. O'Reilly was saying that the Norwegian Psycho-Killer couldn't be a Christian, because Christians do not commit mass murder.
John: Not good Christians, anyway.
Niall: That's what the Progressive radio channel was saying, they were all up in it on Bill O'Reilly, making the claim that the American Christian Conservative movement is just one step away from unloading bullets on a bunch of kid campers themselves.
John: Sad. Just like the Americans to take a human tragedy and use it to cement their own political agenda.
Niall: Sometimes I'd just like to take the Right and the Left and boink their heads together. Knock some sense into both of them.
The Barista (bringing more coffees): Or at least give them the decency to respect the tragedy of others.

Overheard at Table 2: Norwegian Psycho Killer and Fox News . . . Arctic Fox?
Billy: Heard some guy on Fox news yesterday.
Joe: That Bushie who was backtracking from "The Muslims are blowing up Oslo"?
Jim: Yup. That's him.
Bob: Wasn't he saying something about how the killer could'a been stopped if Norway had stopped people at airports like we do?
Billy: Something like that. He said that Norway was too peaceful.
Joe: Didn't help out on the War on Terror.
Jim: But ain' t they in Afghanistan with us?
Bob: Only about 500 troops.
Billy: Yeah, but ain't that about 5% the population of Norway?
Joe: huh huh! good'un.
Jim: What gets me is this - the Bushie's logic is that the attack happened because they weren't prepared for terrorists, and now the psycho-killer's lawyer is saying that the guy is saying that he attacked and killed almost 100 children because Norway wasn't prepared for terrorists.
Bob: I see where you're going with this.
Billy: You're saying that the Bushie thinks like a psycho-killer.
Joe: That's the only conclusion that makes sense in this whole mess.
Jim: All I know is that any one with any "blame the victim" mentality is psycho. Full stop.
Bob: Amen.
Joe: That Bushie who was backtracking from "The Muslims are blowing up Oslo"?
Jim: Yup. That's him.

Overread at Table 1: another 360
205.
In my youth, my
far youth, I wrote in derisions of revisions
quite the contrary to Thomas Stearns,
whose illusions and contusions I fair discerned,
an ample bit of rhetoric soft-hidden in the
idolatry of ancient languages.Then
I found my beat in the heart of the beats and the
rhythm of the sand dunes outside of Sao Paolo and the jazz it was
playing like the waves dancing in from that ocean breeze, yeah and the
beat it was, the beat it was pounding pounding pounding and the boom boom
and the bop bop and we were beat man it was pounding, and that
was a
generation left behind/like
milksuit and wine.by the
postmodernistic blacklight
that tempered our backstreet bottles and
Jesus on the tellywine/aunt suzie on
some semaphore code/drunk
like lady days in winter/not
much
more
decoded/here,
and finally reverted down the long
hallway of dreams and schemes
- like bees they dared to deceive me
with their beautiful buzz and eventual
sting,
just like mE to be Em -
Emily in the Blogosphere, but
finally there was a muse and what
a muse it was she was
dan
c
ing
down
pennystreet, all sun-dried and mussied-up.
there was )no code like
our/code, they say,
as i rode a streetcar with cummings
at the end of the
day.

Overheard at Booth 5: Ramblings of a Progressive Christian
. . . taint nobody list'nin tain't nobody unnnerstands is terrible y'knoo is terrible wha' be happn'in t'my country cain't stand it no sir cain't stand it no how, all this ramblin' and ranglin' over debt ceiling, don't none these voters unnerstan it ain't about no debt ceiling is all about how the rich folks gonna position themselves for next years elections?
and t'tell the truth if We th' People had any lick'a sense in our 300,000,000 collective brains, we'd tell those liars in Washington GET THE JOB DONE - NOW! or we'd walk there en masse and drag them out of their cushy little offices and toss 'em to the street like the rest of the trash, I'm talkin' ALL of them . . . b'cuz they ain't workin' for us they be workin' fer themselves and that's the God's honest truth
. . . and so help me, if one more of those Pharisees dat's right I call'em like I sees 'em all the politicians are modern day Pharisees so when I say Pharisee I'm meanin' politician, when one more says they they are a believer in Jesus Christ y'know that's a demon inside laughing them all the way to Hell, b'c you cain't be a follower of Christ and let people die in the streets with no food and no medicine, and Jesus never said blessed are the rich or blessed are those who allow corporations to run the people and God help us for not slicing right through the lie that by letting corps off the hook for paying their taxes that somehow they are gonna magically translate those savings into jobs for you and me, b'cuz it AIN'T TRUE!
. . . Jesus tells us that we will be known by our fruits, and that means that the truth about us ain't what we say it's what we do, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit is:
Galatians 5:
22b. . . . love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23a. gentleness and self-control.
. . . and lemme ask ya, my fellow Americans, who in Washington or even who WANTS to be in Washington has shown those fruits? Huh? Huh? When has Bachman ever shown kindness or gentleness, when has Boehner ever shown joy, peace, self-control, when has Obama ever shown faithfulness, when had Reid ever shown forbearance, and when has any Republican ever shown gentleness or goodness and when has any Democrat ever shown joy or faithfulness? and when has any politican ever shown love? that is, except to say, LOVE to the Money Machine that prostitutes them for Power?
Excuse me, sir?
. . . wha' wha' wha issit?
Mr Gherulous, sir?
. . . ya', yah? tell me, wot? Speak it out, girl?
I think you need to go home and go to bed now, you've been up two days straight watching CNN. It's not healthy for you.
. . . also, also, switching back'n'forth between the Devil (Fox News) and the Deep Blue Sea (MSNBC)!
