life is what happens while we're busy making plans

About Me

"Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."

My Interests

when the president talks to god
are the conversations brief or long?
does he ask to rape our womens' rights
and send poor farm kids off to die?
does god suggest an oil hike
when the president talks to god?

when the president talks to god
are the consonants hard or soft?
is he resolute all down the line?
is every issue black or white?
does what god say ever change his mind
when the president talks to god?

when the president talks to god
does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
agree which convicts should be killed
where prisons should be built and filled?
which voter fraud must be concealed?
when the president talks to god

when the president talks to god
I wonder which one plays the better cop
"we should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke"
"no, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke"
that's what god recommends

when the president talks to god
do they drink near beer and go play golf
while they pick which countries to invade
which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
when the president talks to god

when the president talks to god
does he ever think that maybe he's not?
that that voice is just inside his head
when he kneels next to the presidential bed
does he ever smell his own bullsh*t
when the president talks to god?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
