Psalm_126-3_Thanks.jpg
Praying for a blessed and joyous Thanksgiving Eve and Day for all my Cubemates.

I give thanks to those who brought the Western Hemisphere into fruitful production. Billions around the globe past present and future owe you their lives and whatever freedom they had for however long they had. Today you and your memory are demonized but I give thanks.

17 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Fresh from the Reality Studio of William S. Burroughs, a Thanksgiving message. Well, not really that fresh.


"For John Dillinger, and hope he is still alive..."
- Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1986
Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeon, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.
Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.
Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.
Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin, leaving the
carcasses to rot.
Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.
Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.
Thanks for the KKK.
For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.
For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.
Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.
Thanks for laboratory AIDS.
Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.
Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind his
own business.
Thanks for a nation of finks.
Yes, thanks for all the
memories - "All right, let's see
your arms!"
You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.
Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams."

- William S. Burroughs

Right back atcha R.O.C.K. and Putout!

Anyer Marx. The cornucopia of Cubists (an art form) really touched me. Because of the Cube I have found friends I never would have and even, the love of my life, Comrade Tovarich. What a perfect analogy!

Jibaro, I have been through things like this, and now most of us are about to go through some rough times, even rougher than the last 4 years. Earlier in my life, when I went through various and unexpected circumstances and betrayals, even from my family, I knew I could never lash out and foul my integrity. If I did, I knew I would lose all I had left, and would truly be lost. I refused to betray others trust of me, even though I could have. I do wonder, however, if being meaner, and more frank (I did do this, to no avail) would have gleaned better results.

In my personal experience, when one is vulnerable and helpless, the bullies come out of the woodwork. They recognize something they can now be superior to, and take it for all it's worth.

I did what you did. I gave it to my Father in the privacy of my own home without the "music of the choir" affecting me. I was amazed by it. And, during this amazement, realized nobody would believe me. I don't care. Thanks for posting this.

Dedhedvedev, This is a most stirring post of yours. I wonder why I have never heard of this. It's so passionate and loving and angry. Did Burroughs actually write this? It's stunning, no matter who wrote it. I love it! Frankly, I feel the same way! Thanks for posting!And, last but not least, my gratitude goes to our wonderful founder, Comrade Red Square, who holds us all in place.

I'll be thankful once that dream job offer is in my mail, so that I can kinda work to get off the government dole, even though I am entitled to other people's money.

Why are there two queens in the picture instead of the usual king and queen?

Note from Krasnodar.....

Pardon me for ask'n, but does it look to anyone else like somebody's underneath Dear Leader's robe right behind him ?

If so, odds are it's Chris Matthews.

Pucker up, MSNBC !

Comrade Putout
I give thanks for your awareness and efforts to save all the Twinkieoids.
