"Now, what we have here is a failure to commun'cate."

Yeah, that's what the warden (Strother Martin) said in "Cool Hand Luke." He said it in a very reasonable tone after whacking Luke (Paul Newman) with a billy club and sending him flying down a hillside.

Thereafter, the warden and his henchmen did everything possible to break Luke's will and make him "get his thinking straight."

Well, somewhere along the line, our media has had a failure to communicate the lies, high crimes and misdemeanors being committed in our name.

And John Ashcroft is doing everything in his power to "get our thinking straight."

In the end, they murdered Luke. So given where we are now, what happens if Bush gets four more years?

A southern chain gang, or concentration camps?

1. There is no doubt...

if Bush gets another 4 years we are in big doo doo.

3. I don't think "big doo doo" covers it.

Maybe I'm wearing a tin foil hat, but I think that if he wins, concentration camps will become a dreadful reality.

Or maybe they really are: Guantanamo; Abu Ghraib; and all the other prisons in our modern day Gulag.

4. So far those camps...

have been in other countries but AssCough has already begun to warn us that "other" people besides Arabs may be terrorists. So who knows...

5. He's probably talking about New Yorker's

who will turn out to protest during the Republican convention.

2. I miss Strother Martin
