The Great Wake 4: Station To Station


"Wolverines!" screamed Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell.  Fresh off The Outsiders, they were the best we had, actors on the 80's A-list; oh, the incredible cast of Red Dawn.  Next, Ivan Drago was sent packing to Ukraine.  Nobody fucks with Rocky and Apollo Creed and gets away with it, James Brown knows what's up in America, we don't juice, we train.  Eye of the tiger, home of the free, home of the brave, the righteoues, the honorable.


Then the opening of the Iron Curtain, George Sr. taking Reagan's credit; exploiting the situation.  Turning the Cold War into the Sold War, where it's all paid for up front.  Grind to a standoff and deal.  Send around pallets of gold.  The lend write-off, the cash game, the layered wire transfers, the currency squeeze.

Russian Daniil Medvedev don't care, he's trying to win the French Open, but it looks like Novak is playing.  Back to reality!  Back to this century.  Tune up and out, the deceptions are obvious, the Russians aren't coming, we don't have to run for the hills, we're not being invaded.  Living in America, eye to eye, station to station.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
