All Aboard!.... for the ClusterFuck Express to Hell.........!

[mopaul]

Yessir, she's right on time too, just like clockwork by God. Here she comes, the Clusterfuck Express, barrelin' down the track on a one way trip straight to hell with all passengers aboard.

Your engineer is George 'Casey Jones' Bush, and he's firin' up them boilers with real people, not coal. Shovelin' em' into the furnace and openin' up the throttle all the way. Can't you hear the whistle blowin' mournfully in the distance? She's a comin' alrighty, to meet her appointed rounds.

The rackety ol' number 43, the ClusterFuck Express, the fireman is dead, the conductor bailed out, the brakes are gone, and the bridge is out up ahead at Iraqi pass. But the engineer is stayin' the course, hellbound for glory, passengers be damned. He's got a train to deliver, and nobody is gonna slow him down.

When he blows the whistle of the ClusterFuck Express, it almost sounds like people wailing, like a thousand mothers and babies screamin their last breaths. The rumble and the roar as the track itself comes apart and splinters under the black wheels, throwin' sparks into the night, and the smokestack spittin' the rocket's red glare.

Here she comes boys, the ClusterFuck Express with hundreds of red white and blue flags all wavin' and flappin' in the smoke and fire!
The rails ache and bend under the weight of the great black snake as it screams through the valley. The railroad ties are people, groaning and crying out, as they feel the heat of the ClusterFuck Express.

And where's she bound boys? Where could ol' number 43 be goin' in such a God awful hurry? There's nothin' up ahead but a mountainside, the rails stop at it's base, no tunnel, no turnstile, no sidetrack. Just a flat, granite wall, beyond which is hell itself.
The engineer, smiling and grimly determined to deliver his load to it's appointed destination.

This train don't take no liberals, this train. This train don't take no Arabs this train. This train's not bound for glory, the engineer has no desire for legacy, the throttle is wrenched in full open position, the dead man's switch has a brick on it. This train runs on blood and misery and greed, the finest burning fuel.

ALL ABOARD! Last chance to catch a ride, git yer ticket, take yer seat, and hang on people! The ClusterFuck Express is a runaway, and she's buildin' up a hell of a head of steam, and when she pulls in to that mountain straight ahead it'll be one glorious monstrous crash! How they'll talk about that awful day, for years to come, around quiet campfires and sad faces. They'll talk about the train, and it's engineer who went mad, and took all those people straight to hell with him.

2. WoW!

3. Mo! That's your best post yet! Unfortunately, we're all on the train..

He's already screwed up the economy so bad, he's told all his economic thrashers to start cutting education, social programs, and ANYTHING else that helps the people who pay taxes for the 2006 budget year.

Why? Simply because all the money in the U.S. treasury (and its bottomless pit of debt) for 2006 has already been spent on killing people.

I still wonder why he didn't just transfer the entire checking account balance of the U.S. Treasury over to Halliburton, and cut out all the middle men who have to cut all the separate checks. Think of all the government employees he could have laid off! That sure would have given the neocons a new national holiday to celebrate.

:yourock: Your post was spot on! :yourock:

:kick:

4. Unfortunately, about

35% would happily board this train and try to force the rest of us aboard.

10. This seems to capture the spirit of your post

[demnan]

11. wonderful analogy, as usual

and sadly, so true.

[BeFree]

12. Aye, mate, but look there!

Isn't that a merry band of patriots up ahead working on a switch? I do believe it is! Why, there's men and women and boys and girls, of all the colors of the Rainbow, pulling together to switch the tracks that hellbound train is on!

C'mon, let's help 'em. What have we to lose? Let's help turn that train down to the valley of peace where the horde of Love and Understanding will smother that lonesome whistle once and for all.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. Well there wouldn't be any big money in peace, only peace!

The Mother of All Clusterfucks might get scalded to death in his own steam this time!

15. Actually, I'd like to see *

Slowly waste away like Raygun.

The thing is, * has done something good for this country. He called 'All Aboard' for the hellbound train and it's willing passengers, thrilled with the idea of murder and mayhem, are now all gathered together on one train. We have 'em left(right) where we want 'em. Now lets run that train into the Pacific!

[Hubert Flottz]

17. What and kill all the fishes!

Let's get out some of Al's Lock Boxes and throw the keys in the ocean!

[ArkDem]

Hellbound Train

Savoy Brown


Hellbound Train I'm on it's track
Too late now to turn my back
Conductor coming ticket in his hand
Come to claim my soul
Take me to his land

Hellbound Train I been so wrong
Too late now I'm moving on
Conductor standing watch in his hand
Got to get aboard take you to his land

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

Hellbound Train driving slow
Move on down to the Hell below
Conductor please won't you lend a hand?
Got to get on board take me to your land

Yes I know I've been so wrong
Too late now I'm moving on
Hellbound Train I'm on it's track
Moving down I can't look back

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train
Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train
Hand and hand with the devil
