Rod Serling gave this speech back in 1968, just after I turned four years old. (link at the end of this post)

 In the wake of Jena, The ICE Raids and the Wars in Iraq And Afghanistan as well as the questions raised by the Patriot Act

one can see that

Rod Serling could have given this speech yesterday.

How sad and how utterly tragic that is.

Suddenly we are a nation whose new battle slogan is law and order. 

Last year it won countless numbers of elections. 

It’s the great new American euphemism. 

Law and Order. 

It is now interchangeable with God, Motherhood, the Constitution and the Holy Grail. 

But how empty and how suspect is this sloganry when it points up the incredible selectivity on the part of America’s citizenry –how picky and choosey they are when it comes to moral outrage.

Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) agents continue to terrorize immigrant communities in Washington State and across the country with increasingly militaristic raids, armed arrests, covert detentions and deportations. We ask that you join us in protest of these aggressive enforcement tactics and violations of our neighbors’ civil and human rights. Many of our friends and neighbors are being held in this private corporate run Detention Center. Join us in honoring the legacy of Cesar Chavez by being in solidarity with immigrant families from across the State.

It’s Aloha Friday, No Work ’til Monday Song Lyrics

c 1982 Paul Natto

Here is where I sit, all cloudy and blitzed

with the Primo bottles lying everywhere

Got a guitar in my hand and a Wesson Oil can

Under my okole for a chair.

CHORUS:

It’s Aloha Friday, no work till Monday.

Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!

(Repeat)

The cousins all here, drinking up my beer

got keikies running everywhere.

I got some poki on the side while mama’s trying to hide

the Miller and the Heineken beer.

(CHORUS)

OK. You know when you wanna get away, I mean one ting

about Friday ma, da working work is ovah yeah.

Frankly, ya, I feel good man.

I work hard all week long.

I can’t wait to get away, you know like down like the beach.

I’m cruise dis weekend yeah, get one hot concert too man,

dat’s the most important ting. But main ting too,

is to get enough money fo gas and to go out to da disco.

I like to see all da beautiful chicks Yeah!

So now I gonna jus kinda cruise, take my Bank Americard,

you know adderwise, how can I get money?

Right, plus den my friends always say

eh braddah, you can buy me one drink then.

THIRD VERSE

Kimo and the crew sucking up the brew

pulehu meat smoking on the side

All the surfers are a-droppin’

while the highschool are a-poppin’

down Kaluakaua for a ride.

CHORUS:

It’s Aloha Friday, no work ’til Monday.

Doo be doo,  doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!

REPEAT
