Netanyahu accepts limited Palestinian state
If you give up your guns and your rockets and turn your eyes away, you can live in what little space that is left for you to stand. If you accept this, your sentence, you’ll also acknowledge your fate…

Crowds join Ahmadinejad victory rally
Majority rules on Election Day with its bright lights on. Save for the house arrest of the graying reformer, Iran teeters similarly to our own uncertain and valued vote, an alleged coup d'état, intimidation, chaos, rumors, we only think, imagine that we're vastly different.

Threats, violence seen eroding U.S. abortion rights
If thou give up thy lawful rights and turn thou eyes toward our god, we will smile and praise thy goodness. If not, we shall execute thee and all of thy children, born or unborn matters not… Amen.

Gas Prices Jump Another 17 Cents a Gallon
There is no rest for the imperially wicked. Plotting what is next that will divert our attention from the thing that truly matters- The Constitution.

O! Permit this, our liquid god, consume us first!

Urban Coyotes Have Streetwise Ways
Animals roam our streets and drink our water and devour our children with their blood-filled lust. No. It is not the coyote that has learned from us.

Israel targets smuggling tunnels in Gaza
There will be no tunnel here, no resistance exposed by bared teeth or fitful soul, only those bent and docile shall unbend their backs and burrow out of their grave.

FAULT METER

FAULT METER    When you get a question wrong you will hear three loud beeps followed by an even louder ticking of a clock.    (Like tick-tick-tick-tick-tick?)    You are half right.    (Like tock-tock-tock-tock-tock?)    You got two halves of it.    (Then I give up!)    You do?    (It ain’t out of weakness, it’s my adhdad.) I understand.    (You understand what?)    That it’s not out of any weakness on your part.    (Weakness, on my part in what?)    Never mind, it’s definitely adhdad.     •    We float, we fly, we soar! We find our wings in each other. We find friends, cousins of the one seed of existence. An existence which never began, but always was, that loves us enough to provide life’s needs, our own, the same. A collection of living peacekeepers upon the surface of the most heavenly example known to them. • © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

Per Plex Ed

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
