Tea in Aleppo
-That last mortar round made a nice fire for us.
Pull up a piece of ruin and sit down.
-Will this new president kill us?
-What’s more certain when the old one
failed to?
-This new one hates us on the spot!
-Look around you! Avenues of Mayhem!
He’s just another form of modern clarity!

(Mountaintops Taken)
Giru, Bowling Alley
-I worry ALL THE TIME!
-Nothing all the time.
-I thought, maybe God? Give it to...?
-Depends on which one.
-Was brought up Catholic.
-That's a good one for worry.
Jewish best. Various Protestant
sects a mollycoddle third.
-Leaving out Moslem.
-Those people? All they do is
kill each other!
-Sounds prejudiced, o Exalted One!
-A strong prejudice or two stamps
a character!
-Well...that does it for worry, then?
Now, there's another problem that...

-Show your badge, Detective Language Police!

Engaged on Several Fronts
-Harry up with those drinks! He's coming to a boil!
-Centuries of crazy shit, and they've emerged from
dusty backwardness to be able to kill each other with
close to Western Competence. I say get out of their way!
-Wouldn't talk like this if we had a Mahmoud in the group.
-Who's stopping him? We got two Afros and Saul, so who's
to say we're prejudiced?
-Haven't seen him lately.
-You hear him first.
-Incidentally, don't you think we had OUR centuries of crazy shit?
-That was then! This is now!

-(together) Nobody here but us Christians.
-(shouting) Besides, you got the wrong end of the stick. It's the TV!
(laughter)

SAVING THE GOP
With an immense flow of Arab* immigrants
into The Republican Confederacy. Thence
fanning out in succeeding generations
to turn bordering states & The West
ARAB-REPUBLICAN RED! Yeah! Right!
Bring in The Mosque Monkeys!
*Contrary to what the American Right used to confidently assert, the Muslim world does not hate "our way of life," but rather loves the idea of democracy and loves US media. What they say they don't like is a lot of sleeping around and tolerance of gays; in other words, Muslim public opinion is not so different from that of many Americans in the deep red states. -Juan Cole
