Barrel of Monkeys: Genesis in Reverse: SEVENTY-TWO VIRGINIANS

BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse

I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.

As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........

Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......

Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......

How did I get here from there?

SEVENTY-TWO VIRGINIANS

Abu al-Zarqawi died,

George Washington

met him at the Pearly Gates.

He slapped him across the face and yelled,

'How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!'

Patrick Henry

approached, punched him in the nose and shouted,

'You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!'

James Madison

followed, kicked him in the groin and said,

'This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!'

Thomas Jefferson

was next, beat Al-Zarqawi with a long cane and snarled

'It was Evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence.'

The beatings and thrashings continued as

George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans

unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader.

As Al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared.

Al-Zarqawi wept and said,

'This is not what you promised me.'

The Angel replied,

'I told you there would be

72 Virginians

waiting for you in Heaven.

What did you think I said?'"
