Smart people learned from Ukraine. The people in charge of the federal government are not smart people.

Is it beating a dead horse to ponder 'what is a smart person?"

I ought to be asleep. I reset the coffeemaker's clock on Saturday night but forgot to reprogram the autostart. So, the aroma of fresh french roast is wafting through the house, stimulating the lizard side of my brain; 'rise and caffeinate!' The smart side of that aging mess of 'materia cerebral' in my cabeza says 'go back to sleep, sano.'

But it's no use. A guitar in my head started strumming, then piano chords chunking "A Day in the Life"
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four)
(*Alarm clock rings*)
I read the news today, oh boy.
The US Army had just bombed a school.
And though the futures are down big...
The assholes carry on....they always carry on...

The believers of religions that claim to be 'the way and the light'... and all the greedy motherfuckers who manipulate those stupid idiots for their own benefit are, AGAIN, doing their best to slaughter one another.

So what's changed? Now they have SMART hypersonic weaponry, nuclear weaponry, low and slow drones, satellite surveillance, SMART weapons that don't know a school full of children is no longer part of the adjacent naval base....

The major religious novels need to be updated. The Bibles, korans, books of mormons, etc, all need to be updated to include the crusades, the pogroms and holocaust, santa muerte, jihad, witch burning, boko haram, janjaweed, orthodox jews, AR-15 raffling evangelists, joseph smith pedophiles, muhammed pedos, stepford-wife, david koresh pedos, allahu akbar bombthrowing 9/11 jet-crashing pedomotherfuckers... alllll that crap perpetrated 'Under the Banners of Heaven', all of them claiming there's some magic sky daddy authorizing and favoring 'their version of 'the way to live right.'...... Oh boy.

Pray on that, brothers and sisters.

Quiet on the set! "Muslims v Christians" Scene One, Take four...
Aaaaaand ..Action!

Be smart and go back to sleep sano. It won't be light for another hour.

Oh boy.
