There are strange things done in the blazing sun
By fools who toil for causes.
The desert sands have their Arab bands
Who have seen less wins than losses.The Mid-East blights have seen queer sights;
But the queerest of all, the most gory
Was that day on the tip of the Gaza Strip
When I bulldozed flat Rachel Corrie.Rachel Corrie came from Isle of Maury,
Where the liberal breeds and grows.
Why she left her gang out west to hang
With the rags, God only knows.She was never told that the lands of old
Had a Hebrew tale to tell;
And she’d often say in her churlish way,
“Those Jews should burn in Hell!”On March 16, our ragtime queen
Made herself a human shield.
It was 5 PM and the light was dim
When in her horn she squealed.“Now stop right there while I prepare
For a sit-in, brave and burly.”
But she was not seen and our ragtime queen
Became a sandy and gritty girlie.There are strange things done in the blazing sun
By fools who toil for causes.
The desert sands have their Arab bands
Who have seen less wins than losses.The Mid-East blights have seen queer sights;
But the queerest of all, the most gory
Was that day on the tip of the Gaza Strip
When I bulldozed flat Rachel Corrie.
Slightly off topic...yesterday a construction worker was killed in this area in a horrible accident. He got run over by a steam roller.
They have called in the world-famous forensic pathologist, Dr. Cyril Wecht, to perform an autopsy.
uhhhh.....cause of death was, HE GOT FLATTENED BY A STEAM ROLLER! So why pay Dr. Wecht’s substantial consulting fee?

US State Department: We understand Corries’ disappointment
The US State Department expressed its condolences to the family of Rachel Corrie on Tuesday after the Haifa District Court rejected their case earlier in the day, ruling that the IDF was not responsible for her death.
“We’ve worked with the family all through this process and we will continue to provide consular support. We understand the family’s disappointment with the outcome of the trial,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
Asked if the State Department shared this disappointment, Nuland noted that the family could yet appeal.
“It’s probably not productive to get into the middle of a legal process that may be ongoing,” Nuland said.
“You feel no pain for the scores of martyrs in my own city of Haifa murdered by those same terrorists.”
Precisely.
