Alas, while I'm fully cognizant that my country,
thee GURR-REAT U.S. of A's NO Poster Child regarding Death and Destruction, or
for that part Torture, since I'm pretty certain "GITMO's" still open
for business... Can Y'all say Guantánamo Bay?
As we won't even
go into Abu Graves or spiriting Civilians away to points A-L-L over Thy Globe
to perform Extraordinary "Renditioning!"
Nonetheless, June 4th holds a significant
place in my heart since it was the day I attended my Debutante Formula 1 race,
the long forgotten Iceberg Grand Prix in Thy Valley of The Sun, when the USGP
was held on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona Way-Way 'Wayback in thou summer of
1989; Aye Karumba!
Yet unbeknownst to Mwah, as a much younger 'N
svelte Tomaso was blissfully sipping an ice cold Fosters "Oil-can" in
the Desert's Dry Heat. For which I always reply: AND SO'S YOUR OVEN!
On the opposite side of the globe, in a country
who's currently reclaiming land by building its own islands in the South China
Sea, an unbelievable ATTROCITY was being carried out that very same day, when
the Chinese government was busy KILLING civilians at Tiananmen Square!
For which they've just released the last incarcerated prisoner 27 years later; SHEISA!
As I merely point
this out since Uncle Bernaughty's taking his F1 Circus to another overly
Democratic "Wink-Wink, Nudge-Nudge" country shortly for the inaugural
Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Since after all Baku's got plenty 'O Oil money to throw
round in order to paint a pretty picture over their country!
