What I Learned About Being a Dick-Head

Visitors to the San Diego Zoo today had a surprise in store for them - the chain gang trio (Bush, Cheney and Condi) were bobbling their heads and performing their antics, dressed in prison stripes and waving big money around. I got to wear the Cheney head, which I reluctantly admit, means that I spent the morning being a Dick-head.



As always, I never pass up the opportunity to learn from my experiences, so while I stood there on the corner of Park Blvd. & Zoo Place, telling everyone walking by that they should be in Iraq, I came up with a short list of observations. I'll share them with you, in case you were considering becoming a Dick-head yourself one day.

First - getting inside the head of a neo-con is a terrifying experience, but wearing the paper-mache head is no picnic either. It's heavy! And something in the helmet embedded in the contraption kept pulling at my hair. I was certain that when I finally un-donned the beast, I'd have a bald spot in the back of my head. Dick-heading gave me a headache. No wonder Cheney always looks so angry!

Fourth - People don't seem to be too happy about my little war game. The majority of people going by were holding up two fingers in that snarky, Communist peace sign! They yelled out some pretty nasty things - like "Impeach the bastards!"

I started out thinking there were five things I learned today. But my head hurts and my feet hurt and my feelings hurt. So I'll just end it here. All in all, I wouldn't recommend being a Dick-head. Thank God I was able to extricate myself from the mess. It was easy - I simply impeached myself. In case the original Dick-head is listening, I suggest you do the same - you'll feel a whole lot better afterwards - as I do now. In fact. We'll all feel a lot better. And I won't have to waste another beautiful Sunday in May standing on the corner being a Dick-head.

6. We appreciate your being a Dickhead for peace. I salute you! "you

can't always go with the paper mache dickhead you want; you may have to go with the dickhead you have."

7. Nice sentiment at the end there, but

hopefully no one will ever again believe that if we get the right person or people elected that "we can go home and be content". I, for one, have lost such innocence. Freedom isn't free and we must be forever vigilant to keep the bastards from ever taking us this far down the fascist road.

8. I live about five minutes from the zoo..

It seemed like the smell of elephant shit was more pungent than usual. Now I know why.

Thanks to Jeeni Criscenzo for being in the fight. :applause:
