Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT. I may make you feel but I can't make you think. Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink. So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction the moral melee. The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way. But your new shoes are worn at the heels and your suntan does rapidly peel and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. And the love that I feel is so far away: I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you shake your head and say it's a shame. Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song. Ian Anderson - circa 1972

Weapons of Mass Destruction Tuesday, April 29, 2003 By Bill O'Reilly Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight. Weapons of mass destruction. That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. One of the interesting post-war debates is about WMDs. Some war critics are demanding to see them right now. However, these are the same people that wanted to give Hans Blix and his crew more time to find the weapons. So, what's up with that? It's the usual finding ways to bolster ideology. The anti-Bush people have few avenues left, and the biggest one is the weapons card. Last week President Bush said he still believes the coalition will find Iraq's weapons, and I hope he's right. I don't want to see the USA embarrassed by another intelligence failure. I don't want to see enemies of America call Mr. Bush a liar, and that will definitely happen if no weapons are found. My point of view separates me from some other Americans who don't want any weapons found and who do want Mr. Bush to be embarrassed. What are we to think of these people? If there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, this is very bad news for the country. America loses credibility, people who hate us have more ammunition, there is no question the USA will be damaged in worldwide opinion. So, again, what do we think about Americans who want their own country to be hurt? It's not freedom of speech, it's attitude, and anti-American attitude that is driven by a loathing for President Bush. This is a very unpleasant subject. Millions of Americans simply don't like their country. And I don't know how to handle them. Now, I've stopped putting the anti-American loons on this broadcast because, really, there isn't a discussion, there's only ranting. Kind of feel guilty about that because The Factor wants to hear all rational voices, but I've come to the conclusion that anyone who wants his own country to be damaged is not really rational. It would be like wanting your own family to be hurt. As Talking Points always says, honest dissent is healthy and good, neurotic anti-Americanism is not. All Americans should strive to know the difference. And that's The Memo. foxnews.com
