Poem: The dragon and the blue turtle
By Jack Brummet
1
The dragon stays below the surface
Because the time to act is not now
Water pours down from heaven
And fire rises up
From the center of the earth
Earth sucks in lightning
To electrify itself
Like Frankenstein's monster
2
Let the blue turtle go.
Train your eyes
Like a stalking bobcat.
3
Leave the knife beneath your cloak—
Let things pass
Because all things must pass
4
Awareness of danger
Brings good fortune
As you cross the great water.

Jalisco congressional hopeful Natalia Juárez's topless ad
By Pablo Fanque, Mexico Editor
Mexican politician Natalia Juárez recently posed topless for an advertisement for her congressional campaign. That's her, dead center. Juarez is running on the ticket of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party.
Mexican politician Natalia Juárez recently posed topless for an advertisement for her congressional campaign. That's her, dead center. Juarez is running on the ticket of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party.
“Dare to join a new, unprejudiced nation-building project!” Her state, Jalisco (which includes Puerto Vallarta and Guadalejara) is run by the right-wing National Action Party. Juarez said she isn’t afraid of a stern reaction against her campaign (and its poster). “It’s a risk we have to take,” she said.
Juarez is running for a seat in Jalisco’s 8th District against two of the state’s best known politicians: National Action’s Jorge Salinas Osornio and Leobardo Alcala Padilla of the Institutional Revolutionary Part (PRI)

Poem: Instructions to the sperm and egg
By Jack Brummet
After the merge,
But before exiting the host,
Buff up--
Because on the surface,
They eat
The wounded.

Alien Lore No. 236 - UFO flyover in the Pacific Northwest (at the Vancouver, B.C. Jazz Festival)
By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Editor
This short streaming Facebook video was recorded by Ustream.tv on June 24, 2012. It appears to show some unexpected visitors in a flyover at a Vancouver International Jazz Festival night performance. "A large, bright fast-moving object and a smaller pulsating orb were both captured with digital night vision by the Vancouver UFO Skywatch (VUFOS) in the northern sky at times when no such objects were predicted by online satellite tracking tables"

President Obama's Presidential Library/outhouse appears in Montana
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
At least week's Republican convention in Montana, an outhouse labeled Obama Presidential Library was parked outside Missoula’s Hilton Garden Inn. No one actually claimed responsibility for it, however it did appear in the Memorial Day parade in Corvallis in Ravalli County.
The outhouse was painted to look as though it had bullet holes in it, and, inside, there was a fake birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama that was stamped “Bulls**t.” The outhouse also included the legend
“For a Good Time call 800-Michelle, Hillary, Pelosi
Keep it classy Montana!

Poem: Orgy In The Pantry
Poem by Jack Brummet
Muffled voices murmur counterpoint music,
And sing-song transactions hum
Through the wood and plaster, doors and walls.
The push and pull of iambic conversation,
And the percussive boom of laughter
Skein a polyrhythmic framework
Over a symphony of voices.
A rustling sound upstairs
Wakes me. I get out of bed
And edge up the stairs.
The sounds pull into focus
And the parts begin to emerge.
I hear heavy breathing, moaning,
A rhythmic thumping, and groans and giggles.
Shuffling to the pantry,
I ease the door open,
Walking between nylons, belts, bras,
T-shirts, striped trousers, a housedress,
Skirts, vests, thongs, shoes and socks,
Camisoles, panties, and sweaters,
A toque, old school garter belt, monocle, and top hat.
Snap, Crackle and Pop are on the floor, chained
In various conjugations with the Campbell Soup Twins.
Duncan Hines is against the wall
Watching. . .getting solo kicks ,
Digging the scene at a voyeur remove
Where spectation trumps participation.
Uncle Ben and Speedy Alka Seltzer
Sip mint juleps, watching the Doublemint Twins'
Synchronous Messopotamian strip-tease.
Enveloped in a churning cloud of flour,
Betty Crocker's housedress is hiked up around her hips,
Arms on the Pilsbury Doughboy's shoulders.
The Jolly Green Giant and Mrs. Butterworth
Waltz around the pantry
And Mrs. B's feet never touch the floor.
Captain Crunch, Colonel Sanders,
Bazooka Joe and The Frito Bandido
Sit in a circle, passing a bong
And laughing at the show.
I don't know whether to
Spectate, participate, or abrogate.

I step in and nearly trip over Mr. Peanut,
Lying on his back with a Grand Coulee grin
And Sara Lee in fishnet stockings straddling him,
Rubbing peanut butter on her nether parts.

Quit dreaming I'm awake

The Model XHZLC 40 Filtering Respirator For Fire Self Rescue
By Jack Brummet, China Travel Editor
I've never seen the The Model XHZLC 40 Filtering Respirator For Fire Self Rescue (or anything similar) in any country I've been to recently--Turkey, Greece, Mexico, England, or India--but my hotel room had two of these on the shelf in the closet. I resisted the urge to play with it, or wear it around town. I especially like the cover illustration, where the evacuee is wearing a two button suit and tie.
