Zen and the art of road rage

by Don Nash, Unknown News      August 6, 2007

The foreign policy of American government and British government closely resembles the scrambling of raw eggs after a supermarket mishap near the produce aisle on a
Saturday morning and a frenzied shopping spree where soccer mom one head-ons soccer mom two. Oh the egg carnage! Oh the foreign policy carnage! Raw scrambled eggs and Bush foreign policy are eerily not dissimilar.

America, our world, and all our world's people are trapped, trapped in an insane maze of perfidious political architecture. That maze, of course, has been constructed by the lunatics that hold the reigns of governance in America, the U.K., Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and even Japan.

You will realize of course that Japan is suspect simply for the fact that they hunt, kill, and eat whales. Lunatic bastards! Why
 
would the Japanese want to hunt, kill, and eat whales? Golly, Japan could have all the Texas beef their little whale-killing hearts might ever desire, but no, Japan must hunt, kill, and eat whales, and that's just rude.

But mostly, it's America that is truly hell-bent on the nuclear annihilation of Planet Earth (and that does seem to be the design of the insane Boy King George), so we'll be needing a how-to guide for the lunacy. Welcome to "The Death of Planet Earth and How To Survive A Nuclear Holocaust," or, "Zen and the Art of Road Rage."

Have you ever been severely tempted to run over your neighbor? No particular reason. Homeboy just might bug the bejesus out of you on principle, so why not insert your "neighbor" under the wheels of the family Suburban? That is how American foreign policy works under the grand direction of our insane Boy King George.

Have you ever been severely tempted to crush that lady applying make-up in her rear view mirror while tooling along the interstate at eighty miles an hour? No particular reason. The lady probably just bugs you on principle and the thought of grinding her under the Suburban does offer a rather 'psychopathic' sort of sinister delight.

Now for God's sake, don't actually grind that lady under the Suburban or mow down your neighbor just for funzees. Wouldn't be prudent, and there'll be all that explaining to do in front of some local judge. Not to mention the mountains of paperwork that'll be implicitly implied with the metaphor.

The Tao of the now would teach us that "focus" is everything. Focus people, focus. It's a visual technique that we're on about here.

It may very well be inherently okie-dokie to "visualize" the grinding of your neighbor or the lady on the interstate, but for hell's sakes, don't do it. Channel that desire, focus that rage, and put the burning desire to maim and destroy into a practical outlet.

The Tao of the now says, be the rage. Don't live the rage, just be the rage. See? It's an easy drill, and practical in the everyday. Not unlike American foreign policy under the insane Boy King George. Got weapons of mass destruction or, maybe not? Well hell, who cares? Just go "preemptive" on any old sovereign nation and rain shock and awe all over their country-
side and be done with it. None of this requires rationale or logic or even the consent of Congress.

It's good to be the King. It's good to do the Tao of the now, and if the entire Planet Earth is swallowed in the aftermath of such
dumb-ass unilateral political shenanigans, well, what the hell? You see? The Tao of the now dictates that expressing that inner rage is perfectly fine and extra-legal, if one is the insane Boy King George. One doesn't have to worry about Congress or the United Nations or the Geneva Convention or even the International Criminal Court at the Hague.

 
Now, surviving the antics of the insane Boy King George is where things get moderately tricky. One must transcend the Tao of the now and wander into the theoretical world of imaginations and/or even science fiction. You see, the Tao of the now can be theoretical, but in practical application or survival modalities, a number of intricate integers will throw themselves onto the highway to hell and simply muck up the works or gum up the Tao and therefore rain confusion, chaos, anarchy, nuclear after-effects, and piss off the neighborhood something fierce. Eerily similar to the practical and everyday workings of our insane Boy King George.

Zen and the Art of Escape ...  Practical practicalities would preclude any hope that one will be able to escape the now or even the madness of George Bush. There isn't enough time left for escape or even for obtaining a "passport" from America's State Department. Six to eight months is the "normal" waiting time for a passport, and you know, that just sucks.

In six to eight months time, Bush may well have already started nuclear World War Four or Five or Whatever. Congress will have lapsed into a non-functionary coma and be declared by the U.S. Supreme Court as "mandatorily" irrelevant. Nancy Pelosi will have abandoned her husband, family, and the American people and run off for an illicit and romantically torrid affair with Ehud Olmert. Pelosi would have gotten around to that "impeachment" business, but there was Olmert and Nancy just couldn't pass up the chance to get jiggy with the Hud. As is evident, America is ass-out.

Zen and the Art of Road Rage ...  Be the rage. Focus on the rage that is our God-given inheritance post September 11, 2001, and focus on the abject inability of George W. Bush to rationally deal with our world and our world's daily affairs. We aren't referring to Pelosi and Olmert here. Bush personally screwed the pooch on 9/11/01, screwed the pooch on Afghanistan, and totally screwed the pooch and the Iraqi people with his illegal, immoral, and naked war of aggression on Iraq, and Bush's plans for Iran are worse than Iraq.

Zen and the Art of Political Repercussions ...  is more the lesson here than basic comedy or political insanity. It is a comprehensive given here that the insane Boy King George is completely out of his mind. War and the waging of war will do that to a national leader, especially when that leader was on shaky mental ground in the first place.

Zen and the Art of a Whorish Congress ...  Focus your rage on Congress, and the sick freakish whores that man and woman the Congressional treason pumps. Bush is insane, however Congress enables the insane Boy King George, and that is treasonously un-American and treachery of the worst sort.

Realistically, we could never survive a nuclear holocaust, be it commenced by Bush, Blair, Clinton, McCain, or whomever. I mean, think about it ... really. Zen and the Art of Road Rage can be the focus on Bush, Congress, and all the media shills that whore for the Bush White House, and we're all trapped in their madness and that's beyond insane.

It's comprehensive bullsh*t, but that would be Zen and the Art of Bullshit, and that's an entirely different lesson. We'll save that one for another day. That is, of course, if we get another day. It is possible that we will, and that's the joy of Zen, the Tao, and ridiculous politics. You just never know what you'll get. But with Bush and insanity, life can be melted chocolate and just wiped all over everything.
