Vestibule of hell

lapsedmodernistUm, if the Pope went to hell, would that be ironic?
Homosexual marriages are part of "a new ideology of evil" that is insidiously threatening society, Pope John Paul says in a new book published Tuesday.
In "Memory and Identity," the Pope also calls abortion a "legal extermination" comparable to attempts to wipe out Jews and other groups in the 20th century.
If BushCo says they are not going to bomb Iran, they are obviously going to bomb Iran.
You see, I figured it out. While using Alice in Wonderland partisan teaparty logic is a useful heuristic when attempting to triangulate (1)past press coverage, (2)actual chronology of events and (3)present press coverage, a different DeLorean is needed to divine What Will Happen Next. There is a play by David Ives called All in the Timing in six parts. Part three is called The Philadelphia and it revolves around characters interacting in some kind of metaurban vaccum, and each of them is existentially inhabiting a different metropolis; they do not have control over their location, but the location determines their interactions with their environment and each other. The person in "a Los Angeles" is blaze about everything even though his wife has just left him, and he was fired. The person in a Cleveland reports feeling worse than dead*, and the person in a Philadelphia gets the opposite of what he asks for. The person in the Los Angeles explains the deal to the person in the Philadelphia so he finally learns to ask for the opposite of what he wants. He finally elicits a greeting from the waiter who has been ignoring him by telling him to fuck off, gets him to take his order by telling him to go away, and somehow calculates that an opposite of a cheeseburger is a hot dog or something like that, and eventually he gets everything he wants by learning the rules. There is a perpetual surreal/insane veneer, because sometimes the opposites are children's book-binary, and sometimes they are downright randomized Saussurian--like, why is a cheeseburger the opposite of a hot dog, etc? But while the trip-you-up logic of the Mad Hatter or The Philadelphia can never be tamed into a deductive pet, eventually with some dog sense you you will learn to induce within its fog. Like a children's book villain whose name would be spelled Hsub, [Bush will attack Iran if he says he won't]. In the more murky set of correlations that still add up to a neocon binary pair, [a gay prostitute mole in the White House means the President was a target of possible assasination]. A neocon binary pair is not a stable semiotic construction, it one easily destabilized by free radicals and itching to converge. Said convergence occurs in sets such as ["Islamic Fundamentalists" : "Christian Fundamentalists"]
If earthquakes in Iran mean bad PR for the US hawks/stay of execution by the daisycutters, are they an ironic blessing?
I have a new kind of synesthesia, everyone! It's when you type a sentence and taste vomit all at the same time.

(b) the US is going to bomb Syria, or
(c) Dick Cheney is going to light his cigars with my Railroad Retirement money.
Seriously, I think capriciousness as such is an essential feature of what's going on. Keep 'em guessing--ALL of 'em.

With the name of the late deceased--
And the epitaph drear: "A fool lies here
Who tried to hustle the East."

(try and come up with a definition that doesn't encompass a large majority of the GOP!)
