story time again,
i want to tell you a story ..
Big Joe And Phantom 309
See, I just happened to be back on the East coast a few years back
I was tryin' to make me a buck like everybody else
I'll be damned if times didn't get hard, and Christ I got down on my luck
And I got tired of just roamin' and bummin'(2) around
So I started thumbin' (3)my way back to my old hometown
And you know, I made quite a few miles in the first couple of days
You know, I figured I'd be home in a week if my luck held out this way
You know, it was the third night, oh and I got stranded
And it was out at a cold lonely crossroads(4)
And as the rain came pouring down, man I was hungry
Yeah, I was hungry, tired and freezin', caught myself a chill
But it was just about that time
Yeah, it was just about that time that the lights of an ol' semi topped the hill
You should've seen me smile when I heard them air brakes come on
Yeah, and I climbed up into that cab where I knew it'd be warm
At the wheel... well, at the wheel sat a big man
And I'd have to say he must've weighed two ten
As he stuck out a big hand and he said with a grin
'Big Joe's the name, and this here rig's called Phantom 309'
Well, I asked him why he called his rig such a name
And you know, he turned to me and said '
Why son, don't you know this here rig'll be puttin' 'em all to shame
Nah, there ain't a driver
No, there ain't a driver on this or any other line for that matter that...
That's seen nothin' but the taillights of Big Joe and Phantom 309'
So we rode and we talked the better part of the night
And I told my stories and Joe told his
And I smoked up all his Viceroys as we rolled along
Pushed her ahead with 10 forward gears
Man, that dashboard was lit like the old Madam La Rue pinball
Serious semi truck
Till almost mysteriously...
Well, it was the lights of a truck stop that rolled into sight
Joe turned to me, said 'I'm sorry son, but I'm afraid this is just as far as you go, you see...
You see, I kinda gotta be makin' a turn just up the road a piece'
I'll be damned if he didn't toss me a dime as he threw her in low and said
'Go on in there son, and get yourself a hot cup of coffee on Big Joe'
I mean to tell you, when Joe and his rig pulled off into the night
Man, in nothing flat they was clean outta sight
So I walked into this stop, well I ordered me up a cup of mud(5),
sayin' 'Big Joe's settin' this dude up',
but it got so deadly quiet in that place
Yeah, it got so deadly quiet in that place, you could've heard a pin drop
And as the waiter's face turned kinda pale I said,
'What's the matter, did I say somethin' wrong?'
I kinda said with a half way grin
He said, 'No son, you see it'll kinda happen every now and then
Cause every driver in here knows Big Joe, son, but...
But let me tell you what happened just 10 years ago out there
Yeah, it was 10 years ago, out there at that cold lonely crossroads(4)
And there was a whole bus load of kids
And then they were just comin' from school
And they were right in the middle when Joe topped the hill and...
They could've been slaughtered except Joe turned his wheels
And he jacknifed, yeah he jacknifed, and he went into a skid
And you know, folks around here, well...
They say he gave his life to save that bunch of kids
And out there at that cold lonely crossroads
Well, they're saying it was the end of the line for Big Joe and Phantom 309
'But it's funny you know, cause... cause every now and then
Yeah, every now and then when the moon's holdin' the water
Well, they say that old Joe'll stop and give you a ride
It seems, just like you, some hitchhiker'll be comin' by'
'So here, son,' he said to me, 'you get yourself another cup of coffee
It's on the house, I kind of want you to hang on to that dime
Yeah, I kind of want you to hang on to that dime as a souvenir
I want you to keep that dime as a souvenir of Big Joe
Of Big Joe and Phantom
Big Joe and Phantom 309'
they pulled that film from distribution after Kennedy was shot, so it remained hidden away from public view for a number of years. now everyone to some degree believes in one or more conspiracy theories and the plot of that story seems right on. the outrageous premise is that it was flag waving right wingers who were fronting for the communists. that part of the story gets more plausible all the time. most of us are aware its the same revolving door between 9/11, and the not so secret funding of al qaeda, and the war against terror, which is a cover for an assault against the US constitution, and a takeover of our nation by global central (and marxists) bankers. the programmed cliche about Raymond Shaw turns out to be the clue. yes we can
story goes he turned down a get out of jail free card, (his father was a senator) but you need to understand the political bias of most of the flyboys. the ground war was abandoned in 1970, and the joint chiefs shifted to the air war, particularily the carriers, which could attack north vietnam more easily (even while there were congressional restrictions) which is where McCain was shot down. he was a hot dog flyer, and ideologically bent. careless and reckless are the terms. the north vietnamese kept down flyers for political purposes, there were few if any enlisted people at HH, they were given a bullet to the head and a shallow grave if they were captured. the terms of mccains capture were generous by their standards. the last half of that war anyway was a policy based on anticommunist rhetoric, and so it was doomed to fail, and for most of the wrong reasons, the wrong people got a hold of it, post LBJ really. like Clinton (no fly zone in Iraq) LBJ set the stage for these guys, the ideologue (push button) or keyboard warriors.

"I would tell her that I am not surprised but embarrassed at their failure of leadership. They're the leaders, they're being governed by the industrial complex from Germany," McCain said.
And I, John McCain and my gang in the U.S. gubmint, are not being "governed by the (MIC) industrial complex from the USSA". Hand over heart, drums beating, violins playing in the background.

McCain was being groomed as a Manchurian Candidate, but they turned up the juice too high one day...
They were all groomed. Then and now.
1913 Vienna: Home of Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and StalinThere is something about Lindsay Graham that makes me want to puke my guts out when I see any picture of him.
We need a Senate resolution that forces him to slip on his combat loafers and lead the next charge in.
What do you get when you put Lindsey Graham, Harry Reid, and John McCain together in a room?
A- A really nasty three-way er, I mean threesome.
love the photoshop ... or is it ????

Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
they pulled that film from distribution after Kennedy was shot, so it remained hidden away from public view for a number of years. now everyone to some degree believes in one or more conspiracy theories and the plot of that story seems right on. the outrageous premise is that it was flag waving right wingers who were fronting for the communists. that part of the story gets more plausible all the time. most of us are aware its the same revolving door between 9/11, and the not so secret funding of al qaeda, and the war against terror, which is a cover for an assault against the US constitution, and a takeover of our nation by global central (and marxists) bankers. the programmed cliche about Raymond Shaw turns out to be the clue. yes we can

This sorry fuck was known as "The Hanoi Songbird" for good reason.
story goes he turned down a get out of jail free card, (his father was a senator) but you need to understand the political bias of most of the flyboys. the ground war was abandoned in 1970, and the joint chiefs shifted to the air war, particularily the carriers, which could attack north vietnam more easily (even while there were congressional restrictions) which is where McCain was shot down. he was a hot dog flyer, and ideologically bent. careless and reckless are the terms. the north vietnamese kept down flyers for political purposes, there were few if any enlisted people at HH, they were given a bullet to the head and a shallow grave if they were captured. the terms of mccains capture were generous by their standards. the last half of that war anyway was a policy based on anticommunist rhetoric, and so it was doomed to fail, and for most of the wrong reasons, the wrong people got a hold of it, post LBJ really. like Clinton (no fly zone in Iraq) LBJ set the stage for these guys, the ideologue (push button) or keyboard warriors.

Victoria Nuland for party secretary!
Hillary and McCain bridge the "partisan divide" in the US.

More like divided over how to split the loot...
McCain
"I would tell her that I am not surprised but embarrassed at their failure of leadership. They're the leaders, they're being governed by the industrial complex from Germany," McCain said.
And I, John McCain and my gang in the U.S. gubmint, are not being "governed by the (MIC) industrial complex from the USSA". Hand over heart, drums beating, violins playing in the background.
Now I think I will go outsidea and puke.

Nazis should feel offended after being compared to McCain.
Who let this Panamanian-born, North Vietnamese agent impersonate a U.S. Senator?
What an AZ-hole.
I never knew Condi was so... scary.
