March 2005
Henniway you look at it, the Scratch has finally cracked. Rosie calls herself one positive chick, but even she says America’s nest has been fowled. She ate an entire box of chocolate covered flies after learning that W. interrupted his vacation and flew back to DC to sign a bill that could restore Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. The White House insisted that politics played no part in W’s decision. Henrietta, Rosie and Kitty cried in their Bloody Marys over yet another fowl rotten egg.
It was a wild night at Kitty’s the other night. Rusty had a relapse, took over the CD player and started playing and singing They Ought to Name a Drink After You (John Prine) “Sometimes I feel like an awful fool, spending my life on an old bar stool… Yes I guess they ought to name a drink after you… I get drunk most every night…When I started out I only meant to have a few …If this date were to be our last I’d never sit down this glass…" Kitty took away his glass when Rusty sang the line, “I better get a double round.” He only meant to have a few. He’s on the wagon now and doing 90 and 90. He tried to drown his sorrows after getting rejected by a chicklette on hatchmatch.com.
Leroy had his cholesterol checked this week and is now on the wagon: no more del Fabro Carrot Cake until further notice. He is working on an installation for the café in Hatchburg’s new public library. He is using found objects and quotes torn from magazines and newspapers. It will be a memorial to all those killed in Iraq. Unfortunately, he has plenty of material.
Business is booming at Sassy’s Lumber and Nails. It seems Hatchburgians are getting their coops in order. The casual coop is planning major renovations for a new “Succulent Hen” department for broad breasted fowl.
Del Fabro’s favorite quote of the week comes from George W. He said “It is wisest to always err on the side of life.” It reminded her of Karla Faye Tucker who received the death penalty in Texas when George was Governor:
Karla Faye
She raised herself on Fritos,
Diet Coke and
mother’s marijuana.
In 1983
Karla killed two with a pick-ax but
faith transformed her.
Alone,
strapped to the gurney
she waits execution;
Liquid death hangs above.
Her last words said behind the glass,
she holds her doll eyes open;
Karla dies—
With a little girl’s moan,
A baby’s cough.
The governor
sought guidance
through prayer:
no clemency in Huntsville.
GOOD NEWS: US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top brass have been exonerated of accusations that they ordered, or ignored, the torture and humiliation of detainees at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. On the same note the moon is made of cheese and hell has frozen over. Senator Jim Talent (Republican from Missouri) says “Speakin for myself, if our guys want to poke somebody in the chest to get the name of a bomb maker so that they can save the lives of Americans, I’m for it.” Thanks for being honest Jim. Eula says, “Remind me not to move to Missouri.”
Eloise is recovering from bunion surgery, but it isn’t stopping her from celebrating Martha Stewart’s release from prison. She loves Martha’s poncho which is available free from lionbrand.com. Eloise is making a duplicate of the one Martha wore and is donating it to Raymond’s Tsunami fund.
Mondays are pajama protest day in Hatchburg. Hens for Peace will march (in their pajamas) every Monday until the Iraq War is over.
Saint Eggbert’s had a special mass this week for all those who died in March, with special mention to Jessica Marie Lunsford, those killed in Iraq and the victims of the Red Lake High School shooting.
We who work for peace will not rest until it comes.
