PTSD? Partido de los Trabajadores Sociales Demócratas maybe?

Partido de los Trabajadores

from babel fish:
Party of the Workers

Post Traumitic Stress Syndrome
I still don't think the military wants to admit is happening
They have been in denial about it for many years
In world war one it was called "Shell Shocked"
and soldiers were executed for cowardice because of it.

In world war two it was called being "Battle Fatigue"

I don't know when PTSD came into use probably Vietnam
It is serrious as a fart in a space suit I don't mean to make light of it.

Here is a recent study I bet it is funded by the defense department to give them reason to deny benefits to returning veterans. Maybe just my distrust showing.

I been thinking about firsty lately
He was there in lower manhattan in 9/11/01
I can see where he could have it
He wrote a very moving piece about it but I think it is on the prepetual jam it is a bugger to find but I will keep looking for it because I would like to repost it if he don't mind.

thanks for posting that firsty

I been wondering if you have writen anything on the subject of Michael Vick?

I keep checking your column here to see what your take on it is. I just like how you shift gears so seamlessly. One moment your talking about sports and the next line you go onto something like politics. And I never miss a beat because it all fits together so nice.

well anyway good to know you are still kicking.

Five more days till 9/11
I am going to have to shut down for a while
I don't think I will be able to watch the rehash

3: How The Administration Frames the Event

The administration's framings and reframings and its search for metaphors should be noted. The initial framing was as a "crime" with "victims" and "perpetrators" to be "brought to justice" and "punished." The crime frame entails law, courts, lawyers, trials, sentencing, appeals, and so on. It was hours before "crime" changed to "war" with "casualties," "enemies," "military action," "war powers," and so on.

Strange, horrid and debilitating affliction.
I can't wait for the wheel to turn.....

What to do when you feel like crap
like crap that sits around suburbia
worrying about not consuming too many of the countless calories around
while you're temporarily out of a gym membership
strike that, a Fitness Club membership.

I'm the one who shouldn't get to claim PTSD...
really, I'm the one who can't.
Male. Educated. Financially uebersecure. Blue blood, White skin(, Red politics?)
No broken family history...
No fear of The Draft.

Why do I feel like crap? Who cares?

I remember standing up for the Palestinians who danced in the streets on September Eleventh. I said, "They aren't happy it was us, they are happy it wasn't them."

Wouldn't it be nice if my crapiness were a gift to the real sufferers? If for once it wasn't the folks who have already been to hell and back who get crippled by the pain?

Yeah. Maybe it works that way. Who knows? But I'm not counting on it.

And I still feel like crap these days.

That was rather cathartic. It was pretty sunny out today.

everybody needs a hug now and then
Just being born into this world is traumatic enough
for some of us.

get over it, you pussies

I had every tooth knocked out of my head
I was locked in a steel and concrete cage for four years

I've been rousted, jousted, Fausted
