When the Chips are Down...

Who exactly --- is running to pull YOUR ass out of the chemical flames & diesel smoke?

In the finest traditions of the Naval Service... someone's on the way...

"Check ignition..."

...And may God's love be with you

Ground control to... Ensign Neil.


Best Pilot the Navy ever trained.

"Lemon, would you like to get drunk with me?"

"...no thanks, there are too many phones in here."

...And the broken-down, old Soldiers lamented the wasting--- on a mere grave ---of money which should have been given for drink.[North Capitol St. NW - Washington, DC]

War's Over - Shut it Down, Belfast.

On Raglan Road on an Autumn day,
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I may one day rue.
I saw the danger, yet I walked
Along the enchanted way
And I said let Grief be a falling leaf
At the dawning of the day.

now THAT would be a great talk-show. 

& they could totally crush those incompetent creepy leftist big dummies
Charlie Rose / David Gregory / George Stephanopoulos / Bob Schieffer
in the ratings. [sigh]

The Verdict 

{December 8, 1982}

Bishop: 

What is the truth?

Frank Galvin:

That poor girl put her trust
into the hands of two men

who took her life.

She’s in a coma. Her life is gone.

She has no home or family.

She’s tied to a machine.

She has no friends.

And the people who should care for her:  
her doctors  - and you and me -  
have been bought off
to look the other way

- we’ve been paid
to look the other way.

I came here to take your money…
brought snap-shots…

[holds up Polaroids]

...to show you so I could get your money.

I can’t do it, I can’t take it.
‘Cause if I take the money
I’m lost.

I’ll just be a rich --- ambulance chaser.

I can’t do it, I can’t take it.

Young Priest / Archdiocesan Goon:

You’re here to discuss money, Mr. Galvin? 

How’s your law practice?

Galvin:

Not too good…

[drops Polaroids into his briefcase]

…I only got the one client.

John 18:38...

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?

And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews,

and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
