"The Phat in the Hat:

An Anti-Rap Rant in the Meter of Seuss"

Maurice Norbert

Yo… Em, 50 cent, Dre, Snoop, DMX
Roll down the window of that tricked up gold lex
Give me a minute to let me say thanks t’ya
For the career advice ya’ll gave to my wanksta
Son, who wasn’t sure what he would do
Was flailing around for his path as he grew
But finally found the Holy Grail that he sought
In the ciphers and videos of your songs that he bought
Now I know how to get his life on the right track
I can see how my old plan for him was just whack
You guys make so much more money than me
I saw you win gold on the MTV
You call women bitches and Hos when you please
Then find em all lined up backstage on their knees
All I had was some girlfriends then just my wife
For the last 25 years, that ain’t much of a life
I just know my boy can do better like you
When he’s a bit older and you’re older too
Maybe when you have daughters just about sixteen
He’ll be in his prime, you know just what I mean

"Situation Excellent, I Am Attacking"

William Rivers Pitt

"That's the spirit, George. If nothing else works, then a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."
-- General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, 'Blackadder Goes Forth'

There is not enough grammar in the entirety of the English language to describe the incredible international humiliation that has befallen the United States of America. That this humiliation was brought down upon the American people by the man supposedly in charge of the country is, in all honesty, no big surprise for those who have been watching this all unfold. The layers of crushing embarrassment have been building like river sediment for months upon months upon months. On Tuesday, however, George W. Bush managed to completely obliterate the hard-won standing the United States has earned within the global community.

"Should Anarchists Support Suicide Bombers?"

"I am an exceptionally active Jewish anarchist who once resided in Israel and currently has many relatives living there. Lately I've been getting really fed up with some of my anarchist friends when we're discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because often, like Rachel Corrie, you can hear the restrained hero-worship of Palestinian suicide bombers beneath the subtext of their arguments. They wear kaffiyehs in solidarity, and scrawl "Israel out of Palestine" on bathroom walls, purportedly identifying with the Palestinian independence struggle, like this clown at the WTO demo in Cancun doing his best impression of a rock-tossing Palestinian teenager.
