May This Encourage You, Always
What is America's true identity? Would you fuck me for blow?
No addiction! Just blow me off like dirt over your shoulder
& keep walking between the monolithic wads of cash.
If wealth is your goal, it's time to start acting like the wealthy
brick-sized wads of currency heaved out in carpet bags
I go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich
Have to score when I get that rich white itch
Is the cop filled with marshmallows?
(There was no traffic, I thought I'd get away with it
but the goddam cop was hiding in the shadows
With bullets of love & a big puffy marshmallow cruller
The literal wads of cash sticking out of his g-string
Swear on the bible
testified to his intense hotness.
Nothing is stronger than young love, first love.
Many have said that love is like a roller coaster: it seems
like an insane impulse to obey, to allow yourself to get hurtled around,
get slammed against the bar & feel your stomach ride up
in your diaphragm like a mylar balloon, a cake doughnut
bent forward in a cruller shape & finished off
with a white layer of glaze
Egon, dressed in construction crew clothes
is drilling a giant hole in the middle of First Avenue.
Peter and Ray are no where to be found.

More Captain
I really, really liked how they did Captain America. His out of sink with reality was too cute, actually, about all his non-combat interactions were cute. On a side note, Captain America reminded me of Cloud minus the alien mind control freak whip & he lacked the slightly feminine appearance.
"Captain America, we need your help!"
"Plaintive, Captain America."
"Where are you going?"
"I threw a rock at him."
After that, Captain America spent some time in Afghanistan fighting terrorists.
DC Comics had a solution for this. During the war, they decided to craft their stories as such: Hitler is in possession of the Spear of Destiny. This is the spear Jesus was stabbed with when he was on the cross. In Hitler's hands, it caused any serious superhero that came within Nazi territory to go crazy/lose their powers/get brainwashed to the Nazi side. This meant that powerhouses like Superman/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern couldn't go into Germany and win the war. They'd have to settle for fighting Nazis in America. Weaker heroes, or ones without any superpowers, could get into Germany to fight the Nazis. Basically, anyone that could singlehandedly win the war was magically unable to enter Nazi territory.
"The events of history seem to be happening to him."
"Time to be eating the hot dogs of America."

True Stories of American Freedom (2)
Freedom 3 is about three U.S. Marines that are injected with a serum identified as the "Freedom" serum, enabling each Marine to take on characteristics & abilities allowing for various changes in their efforts to serve under the United States Constitution.
Globe (who is a creature of the earth), Eagle (a mute telepath with wings), & Anchor (has a fiery side that can burn & touch a person’s soul, & granite like viral touch that initially simply stalls people) make up the Freedom 3 USMC special unit.
“The recently awakened members of Freedom get handed an assignment no Marine would refuse; to hunt down & capture Osama bin Laden!”
In fact, the cover of Freedom 3 pays homage to the most recognized Captain America cover. The Joe Simon & Jack Kirby Captain America #1 cover (March 1941, National Comics) shows the red, white & blue clad Captain America punching Adolf Hitler in the face. The Freedom 3 cover drives home the parallel between World War II’s Adolf Hitler & today’s al-Qaida’s Osama bin Laden.
“During this day, when times are just as turbulent as when 1940 led America into tough times; it becomes every American's responsibility to not lose sight of what makes freedom special,” said Rick Olney, the writer & publisher of Freedom 3.
The three-issue hunt for Osama bin Laden starts in May, when the book will ship, with the story arc “What Price Freedom.”

True Stories of American Freedom
Captain America stole the whole damned show! its a shame that he only fought like 1 or 2 human characters in the begining cos he had one hella smashmouth fighting style that I would have loved to see more of. It kicked ass seeing him fight a Nazi, scream out "Hitler's dead bitch!" and then stick his shield right THROUGH the nazi's stomach. That was awesome, I got outta my chair and almost totally screamed "U.S.A"!
Captain America sez: "I hope your f-ing dick falls off. At a time when our soldiers are dying for ungrateful college boys like you, who by the way have taken away deserving young mens' educations because of Affirmative "Over"-Action, you can speak like that about our commander in chief. Don't ever come back through Missouri. I checked this blog out because someone at my school said it was funny, I didn't think I'd have to read a bunch of liberal bullshit by some rapper wannabe drug-dealing lefty. Maybe you should take the time to learn something in college, asshole."
Captain America was frozen in the ice. You know it. I know it. And when someone is frozen in ice for fifty years, it's different than how it is for us normal people. You're not the same around women, or other men. You have trouble fitting in in social groups, and everywhere you look, you feel as if you're different than the rest. Advertisements aren't aimed at you. Rap music is strange-sounding and even offensive to your ears. Captain America is different from us. He is. But that's okay. He's a part of our world and part of the beautiful canvas we call "society." And if you don't like that, then fuck you, cause this is America and we're all equal here. And likewise, if I want to make fun of Captain America, that's okay too.
