Brigitte`s Paintings

Poetry and art come together...

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The three words that make-up the title of today’s piece typify the attitude that caused more than one Commander-in-Chief to issue the order to “Send in the Marines”! Those words also define the attitude of a Marine who has been described as “Crazy Brave” for his actions at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001.

I`m Tired of Blubbering, Selfish Idiots like Robert A. Hall

A racist, homophobic poor-bashing politician exposes his cruel side for all to see.

Hall and his big time bellyache being circulated among other rich wankers who want to blame their non-problems on the poor.


I'm not impressed with the 'work ethic' of any politician who rallies against the poor, Bunker, oops... I mean Hall, needs a big box of Kleenex and his past as a U.S. Marine means squat if this is how he turned out.

For a long time many of us said that the increasing chasm between the rich and the poor has grown to obscene levels.

The Wandering Who? is out soon

I can assure you that none of my detractors have read my book yet, but they know what to expect.

(LONDON) - My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics”, is scheduled for release in six weeks time and it seems that the usual suspects -- Zionists and their collaborators within the marginal 'left' -- are already in a state of panic.

In the last few days, my publishing house, my editors and I have been subjected to immense and intense pressure that included harassment, intimidation, and even anonymous threats, as the demands mounted on my publisher to pull the book.
