Notes Of A Dissonant Ole Man #1

Page 2 of 2
The O.D.B does recognize the irony that the more he transmits his message through these high tech gadgets, the more vulnerable he is. Fear not children, the O.D.B. is fully responsible for everything he says or does. Hell I’ll speak under oath if I have to. I’ve got nothing to hide. So with that the O.D.B. will say come and get me Nazis.
With introductions out of the way the O.D.B. would like to tell you a story. I am sitting in the park with a loud train going by. I am looking at a homeless man. He has been here for a while. His white wooly hair and beard grows longer as he stays. It seems our newly elected democrats have shrugged their responsibility to end the war. Instead they are approving billions more for it. Billions going to defense contractors and oil companies, billions that only leads to suffering and chaos. Did I mention the O.D.B. is looking right at a homeless man? I mean shit though, it’s like he’s camping. He’s got waterfront property right? He’s got the shelter of pavilions, public facilities, he’s got a hibachi to cook his can of beans on. He’s got it good right? The O.D.B. thinks some of that defense and oil money is going to the democrats, and republicans to line their pockets for voting the right way and sticking to the script. Is the corporate media talking about it? What a sense of priorities right? Which means we need to trash the whole damn thing. These people they would call the O.D.B. treasonous. Do you know what the O.D.B. thinks? The O.D.B. thinks they all need to be lined up in the street and shot for treason publicly. Okay the O.D.B. gets a little carried away sometimes. Sorry kids.

Anyway lets get to the story. The O.D.B. got in his fifteen year old car and went to the post office today. The bills that were already overdue had to be paid. The O.D.B. marched up to the counter and asked the lady for a book of stamps. The lady instinctively pulls out a book of flag stamps. Now these were fine American flags. No golden fringes or tassels.
“You know ever since this unjust war broke out, I’m just not feeling the flag.” I told the lady.
She takes this snobby attitude toward me like saying “Oh so you don’t support the troops.” Without saying it.
This is not true. The O.D.B. supports any troops that are refusing to go. But that’s a different story. “Do you have any of the Ella stamps?” I asked.
“No!” she snapped back.

I guess it is the south. We can let that go. My choices were vegetable stamps and something and something else. Oh I can’t remember. The vegetables did not look genetically engineered so I took them. Yes kids, the O.D.B. does eat his vegetables. I guess I’ve rambled on long enough for now. Until next time kids.

Lighten up, pal, I think you clean up real nice. And WTF, you want people to read your stuff and get your message, right? So I just made it easier for them. Anyway, it couldn't have been too bad if you're thinking of sending in #2. I wait for it in excited anticipation.
