Bye-Bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Toyota to the levee but the levee was dry.

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America, All gone to look for America....." -Paul Simon

I drove home from work today.It's hot; the air conditioner barely makes a dent in my car, a sheen of light perspiration beads along my brow. I'm feeling a bit bitchy.

I was listening to the radio....I'm a flipper, and they played this one song I liked. You ever noticed what they edit out? What the P.C. police have made "unacceptable"?

They don't edit out ass all the time, sometimes. Or butt. Or booty. Sometimes the word bitch makes it through. Shit also has passed test. In fact last week I heard a DJ call some guy an asshole. It reminded me of the scene from Maximum Overdrive when Stephen King says to his friend/hooker/wife..."Honey this machine just called me an asshole."

As an atheist, I was shocked to realize what had become obvious to me over the last few months... They edit out the word GOD. Like it's offensive. GOD gets a bleep.

What's next?

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all gone to look for BLEEP
All gone to look for BLEEP, All gone to look for BLEEP....." -Paul Simon

What's next?

I pledge allegiance to the BLEEP of the United States of BLEEP, and to The BLEEP for which it stands, one Nation under BLEEP, indivisible, with BLEEP and BLEEP for SOME.

I weep for our future.....
