DEDICATION HONORS RICHARD F.Y. CHENEY GIVING BIRTH
Neo-con’s Pregnancy Idealized In Washington ‘Monument to Pro-War’
Washington (March 22, 2006) — A nude Richard “Face Shooting Drunk” Cheney on a bearskin rug (kindly donated by Scooter Libby) while giving birth to his firstborn marks a ‘first’ for Pro-Death. Pol-star Cheyney is the “ideal” model for Pro-Torture and the subject of a dedication at Kindasleazy Fine Art in Washington’s Foggy Bottom district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Torture monument to birth, in April.
Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Cheney’s baby boy, “Resubjugating Brown people,” and applauds his decision to place greed before country. “A superstar at Richard’s age having a child is rare in today’s Republican pro-death celebrity culture. This dedication honors Cheney for the rarity of his choice and bravery of his decision,” said gallery co-director, Pat Robertson. The dedication includes materials provided by Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network attitude adjustment department.
“Monument to Pro-Theft: The Birth of War to resubjugate Brown people,” believed Pro-Murder’s first monument to the ‘act of giving birth,’ is purportedly an idealized depiction of Cheney in delivery. Natural aspects of Cheney’s pregnancy, like great big sagging tits and protruding navel, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips well spattered with Santorum for farrowing and reveals the crowning of baby George’s head.
The monument also acknowledges the duck-shooting-diva’s pin-up past by showing Cheney seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as he ignore’s Scooter’s squeals of anticipation and wrenches off the bear’s ears with ‘water-retentive’ hands.
“Cheney provides inspiration for those struggling with the ‘who should I shoot in the face today’,” said artist Jack Straw, recipient of a 2005 World Bank award from Mobile Talabama’s The Art of Shoe Shopping Newspaper. “He was number one with Google last year, with good reason — people are inspired by the beauty of a perverted old scumbag,” said Straw.
Kindasleazy denies the statue was developed from one of Rummy’s bootleg Abu Ghraib anal rape videos. The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pig pole-dancing Cheney at Texasgoopers.com and ‘Cheney wigs’ characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-pol looted from a New Orleans hairstylist. And according to gallery co-director, Donald Rumsfeld, the artist studied a bearskin rug on a trip to Canada “to convey the commemoration of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture.”
An appropriate location for permanent installation of “Monument to Pro-Looting” by Mother’s Day is being sought by the gallery.
“Monument to Pro-Rape” is on view April 7th thru 23rd with a reception for the dedication April 7th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Fundie Condi Fine Art, Trading As: U.S. Department of State, 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520. Gallery hours are 1:00 – 6:00 pm Thursday thru Sunday, or by appointment. The gallery can be reached at http://www.state.gov/index.htm or by phone at 202-647-4000 .

Actually it rewrote itself that sort of pompous twaddle just cries out for it :-)

Mark — are you SURE the bear’s not screaming with pain? I mean, not EVERY bear could bear Cheney’s bare Dick. I mean bear Dick Cheney’s bare . . . oh, never mind.

Did thou knowest not how the Lord God considers thee, thou foul comic blasphemer? The Imam Falwell Fatwa brigade may descend on you like a cloud of Alabamans upon the only guy in the trailer park who can afford HBO, and eat, therewith, all your hominy-cakes and bean fries.
Oh woe is unto you through seventeen generations, as the Lord God Dick will surely haunt the dwindling neurons for the rest of my days,unless you have pictures of the Bush twins with Spiro Agnew, then all would be forgiven.

Dear Unca Dick,
My friend is an insomniac, agnostic, dyslexic. He tells me that after laying awake every night for night for a week wrestling with ‘THE’ question, he still couldn’t be sure there was a Dog.
Is he barking?

I really can’t think of a comment to accompany this article.
Words are increasingly failing me.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20060222&articleId=2032
I’ll quote the author from a previous article of his:-
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=%20CH20050501&articleId=66
The Antiwar Movement
The antiwar movement must act, consistently, to prevent the next phase of this war from happening.
This is no easy matter. The holding of large antiwar rallies will not in itself reverse the tide of war.
High ranking officials of the Bush administration, members of the military and the US Congress have been granted the authority to uphold an illegal war agenda.
What is required is a grass roots network, a mass movement at national and international levels, which challenges the legitimacy of the military and political actors, and which is ultimately instrumental in unseating those who rule in our name.
War criminals occupy positions of authority. The citizenry is galvanized into supporting the rulers, who are “committed to their safety and well-being”. Through media disinformation, war is given a humanitarian mandate.
To reverse the tide of war, military bases must be closed down, the war machine (namely the production of advanced weapons systems) must be stopped and the burgeoning police state must be dismantled.
The corporate backers and sponsors of war and war crimes must also be targeted including the oil companies, the defense contractors, the financial institutions and the corporate media, which has become an integral part of the war propaganda machine.
Antiwar sentiment does not dismantle a war agenda. The war criminals in the US, Israel and Britain must be removed from high office.
What is needed is to reveal the true face of the American Empire and the underlying criminalization of US foreign policy, which uses the “war on terrorism” and the threat of Al Qaeda to galvanize public opinion in support of a global war agenda.

** Reid urges rules of war ‘rethink’
Mr Reid said the 20th century rules needed reassessing
The defence secretary has called for sweeping changes to international rules of war to counter global terrorism.
John Reid warned the world was facing a threat from groups unconstrained by any sense of morality or convention.
“We risk trying to fight a 21st century conflict with 20th century rules,” he said in a speech to the Royal United Services Institute.
He warned legal grounds for mounting pre-emptive strikes or intervening to stop genocide were no longer adequate.
Mr Reid also called for a review of the Geneva Conventions, signed in 1949, governing the treatment of prisoners of war.
So, it’s come to this. It seems the UK is sinking as low as the US.
Comment by Richard — April 3, 2006 @ 11:04 pm
Yah I saw a report on that in The Guardian online edition. Sauce for goose is sauce for gander. The US and UK between them have how many people wandering around the Middle East toting guns right now? That’s an awful lot of “unlawful combattants.” And before anybody comes in with the argument “SFA” an SFA signed under duress is worth precisely nothing.

Thanks again, Mark, for more marvelous work.
I hope it’s okay that I’ve taken it upon myself to try to ’shine some more light on you’.

Wow!

important article from Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker - http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060417fa_fact
on the nuclear plans for Iran.
Comment by siun — April 8, 2006 @ 4:33 pm
Thanks for the link, Siun.
Hopefully Hersh’s credibility will rally opposition to the warmongers.
It’s worth noting, I think, that Israel and the US helped Ahmadinejad get elected by upping the threatening rhetoric just before the Iranian elections and they MUST have known what they were doing as they had benefitted from Osama Bin Laden’s tapes just prior to the US elections. This adds more credence to the final paragraph in Hersh’s article:-
“You must bite the bullet and sit down with the Iranians.”
The diplomat went on, “There are people in Washington who would be unhappy if we found a solution. They are still banking on isolation and regime change. This is wishful thinking.” He added, “The window of opportunity is now.”
One proponent said that Iran doesn’t have any friends which is simply not true.
When Amadinejad started really shooting his mouth off, I wondered if the Russians and maybe the Chinese had given there backing to Iran and that gave Ahmadinejad the encouragement to challenge the US. I also had a picture of the Russian and Chinese diplomats burying their heads in the hands and slowly rocking backwards and forwards muttering “No…No….No. Shut the f**k up, you moron”
Never-the-less, Russia and China cannot allow the US war machine to advance one more step as it consolidates the position of their forward bases in Central Asia. Right now they are vulnerable but later would be a much more serious threat to Russia.
Also, that step is onto China’s future energy supply. Ahmadinejad would know the danger to the US in advancing. But what he doesn’t know (IMHO) but the Russians and Chinese do (again IMHO) is that the US are going to bomb Iran anyway.
So I’m thinking that they (Russia and China) have prepared to take full advantage of the inevitable mess and carnage.
If I had relatives in any of the US bases in the Mid-East or Central Asia, I would be writing them a long letter expressing all the things I wouldn’t want left unsaid.
Comment by Griffon — April 8, 2006 @ 11:32 pm
I’m planning on going to Sen. Barack Obama’s town hall meeting this week and asking him to oppose any action against Iran. I hope others here in the states will do the same or call … and I hope our friends in other parts of the world will call on their leaders to oppose any move by the US against Iran. Also trying to get to a Code Pink demo when Hillary Clinton speaks here on Tuesday … not much but there are few options for speaking out. Little hope of success but staying silent is not an option.
Comment by siun — April 9, 2006 @ 6:23 am
mixed bag in this week’s Time magazine - love letter from Israel to Bush with what reads like orders for US to handle the Iran attack:
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1181672,00.html
coupled with a pretty amazing column from Lt. Gen Gregory Newbold on Why Rumsfeld Must Go which includes the call:
“It is time for senior military leaders to discard caution in expressing their views and ensure that the President hears them clearly. And that we won’t be fooled again.”
