FRIED TRUTH!!!! COOKED WITH CHAOS!Gil Scott Heron was right, the Revolution Will Not Be Televised and it definitely won’t make your smile brighter or get rid of ring around the collar, but it will be a clearer picture for the uninitiated thanks to HDTV and the digital age. You can see the revolution coming down the street the way the Jefferson Airplane and their army of Volunteers did more than 40 years ago and it will almost seem like you’re there live and in person. Thank you, thank you, thank you digital television for bringing the message of the streets to our homes live and in living color. Now we can watch the military response to Iraq’s technology driven rebellion with the same arm’s length detachment that we did when the young man bravely stood in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square in 1989 so that his fellow college -aged students could settle for opening their world to western culture while the military dictatorship continued to manipulate their future attempts at change. Yes, Iraq is on the verge of something bigger than the pun-ditzes could ever understand , as long as Lindsey Nelson, John McCain and all those other opportunists in the public eye, shut up and let the energy of change take it’s toll on the constantly raging world of that part of the middle east. That revolution is a lot more about true revolution than the embarrassing spectacle of white bigotry and fringe insanity that was the teabagging punch line organized by the only argument against evolution and even further evidence that there is no intelligent design, at least on the far right- Glen “Mr. Self Promotion”Beck. Yes, the Resolution will not be televised, if it means seeing the world and our part in it any differently than we already do in June of 2009.
