As I have tried to show, science, in producing the airplane and the wireless, has created a new international political environment to which governments must adjust their foreign policies.

Quentin wanted to create this special world in which everybody walks around with a samurai sword, extras in the airport, a special little place in the airplane to stick your samurai sword.

I saw young men keeping courage in the grim night (Villanelle)

I saw young men keeping courage in the grim night
burning, aflame before the end of day
bravely carrying on before the dying of light

raging in war busy with a almost endless fight
with no chance to ever again dance and play.
I saw young men keeping courage in the grim night

trying their utmost to do what’s right
challenging a outnumbering foe they
bravely carrying on before the dying of light

looking at enemy warplanes in their flight,
seeing bombs dropping down on their way.
I saw young men keeping courage in the grim night

seeing with blinded eyes far past sight
another world, a glassy sea and its bay
bravely carrying on before the dying of light

John Travolta said he sometimes lets his friends take control of his airplane even though they don't know what they're doing. Then Travolta said he often does the same thing with his career.

One day, someone said to me, 'Do you want to go jump out of an airplane?' I felt like I had nothing to lose anymore, so I said, 'Why not?' And every day since then, I ask myself that question.

Human Fly Spray

Jet planes are flying over every major city
Spraying aluminum, strontium n’ barium
Wonder why you may be feeling a bit shitty?
Ask NASA scientists n’ guys at the Pentagon

Surrounded by military airplanes and warships from the world's most civilized and developed nations, we have been denied permission by friendly governments, for reasons of security, to land anywhere, but in the tiny, and still neutral, Republic of Djibouti.

Ironically, the Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and personnel in the Persian Gulf I mentioned earlier who are fighting terrorism will provide more support indirectly to this war in Iraq than most of the 46 countries that are fully supporting our efforts there.

Reason Why President George Attacked Afghanistan

Why attack? Afghanistan
government never had
plans to attack the US.

Bush Administration
claims Taliban directly helped
or assisted al-Qaeda.

A claim never proven.
Then where were the nineteen
al-Qaeda hijackers born?

The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission,
concluded the September 11

So I'm more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane, than I am necessarily on a bed. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing next to my real life.

041310f Getting Fresh Air

i went to fishing wharfs today
watching crabbers on the bay
police are monitoring them too
getting close to restricted zone
before they can fish all they want
time change soon will be warrants

dolphins didn't show nor osprey
sea lanes dotted with cargo ships
there's a heavy traffic on the bridge
helicopters hoovering for time quota
to satisfy their flight fee; oh! airborne
i got enough therapy, i'm going home

The world Today

The sirens are circling around me
A helicopter above my head
Lights flickering apon my face
Causion tape as far as I could see

People getting hit
People getting shot
People getting arrested
'N' people getting caught

Whats wrong with the world today
Cuz all people see now is things to Hate

Sunshine

FOR A VERY LITTLE GIRL, NOT A YEAR OLD.
CATHARINE FRAZEE WAKEFIELD.

The sun gives not directly
The coal, the diamond crown;
Not in a special basket
Are these from Heaven let down.

The sun gives not directly
The plough, man's iron friend;
Not by a path or stairway
Do tools from Heaven descend.

Yet sunshine fashions all things
That cut or burn or fly;
And corn that seems upon the earth
Is made in the hot sky.

The gravel of the roadbed,

The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us, they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft.

Cold Chill

Feelin young and full of fun
Hangin out with my crew
Hot to trot and about to pop
Tryin to find some girl to get into
There she was fine as can be
Hair braided down to her knees
She took me home, she turned me out
But before sunrise she said I must leave
It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldnt treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees
I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night

Helicopter From Hell

I am riding on a helicopter
From hell
That is supposed to take me
To some place
Where I can in vain find some
Solace and peace
For just one moment, I pray to some God that not likely exists-
They say it is supposed to storm today
But the skies are lying
Just as the whole world
Tells me its daily untruths-
Hell is where I am now living and
Hell is where I shall find myself
After death-

Hell is my past and
Here in the present
I am damned and
Feel as if I have been betrayed-
An elderly woman,

Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn't think they were right for Airplane! because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian.

Those things don't happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they'll never know the true feeling that we did.

Nibiru Update

On a day high flying jet planes do not spray
And low clouds part…'Behold a second sun'
Moving toward the Earth in retrograde orbit
To complete a “3600 year cycle” I now say
