John Oliver remembers what happened last time Karl Rove swore to tell
the truth under oath. Bull**** or Bullfact: You be the judge.

And an additional poem by J. Tuckley for poignancy. High explosives
used in roadside bombs and suicide jackets, by the way, come from
unexploded bombs US pro-war adovocates drop on "terrorists" and their
families. Children earn income by taking the bombs apart for the C-5
or C-4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAZMAT_Class_1_Explosives
Finding Used Scrap Metal
by J. Tuckley (May 13, 2008)
In past tense my city burns tomorrow,
Intensity this, not easily scorched by
Burning illusions, not yours, mine or searing
As ice to the tongue your child takes for granted.
We have promises to keep they say,
And land mines are other kid's business
Bound in the intimacy of deceit and newsprint
Whose trees they cannot climb for lack of this limb or that.
Turning spent shell casings into lamps is an art form
Not taught in grade school alongside watercolors,
The table at which He served tax collectors was not
An ammo crate spent on killing any holy spirit of my relations.
I always volunteered to clean the chalkboard erasers
Because chalk smelled better than burning flesh in my hamlet.
It is more blessed to empty pencil sharpeners scornfully
Than gun magazines with great love and devotion.
