Ode to Rachel Corrie
In honour of the third anniversary of St. Pancake, I repeat a post I wrote in 2003.
To the tune of “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
Rachel Corrie went to Palestine
to free the Arab mob,
burning flags and sleeping round
and acting like a yob.
She sought to save the pimps and punks
and generate a sob,
but a D-9 ended that.
[chorus]
Rachel Corrie got run over,
Rachel Corrie got run over,
Rachel Corrie got run over,
a D-9 ended that.
She climbed atop a mound of dirt
to stop the dreaded foe.
Her heart was full of hubris
her enemy named Moe.
The D-9 was large and loud
and so she turned to go
but a D-9 ended that.
[chorus]
Now Rachel lies flattened
beneath the Army tread.
Her pimps and pushers honor her
repeating what she said.
But nothing makes up for the fact
that she’s really, really dead.
A D-9 ended that.
[chorus]
Beauty may only be skin deep but loathesome goes right to the bone.

Loathesome is right on target, sir. I find it (nearly) unbelievable that someone would dedicate time to writing something so hateful. Simply vile.
1. Kiss my ass.
2. It didn’t take that long to write.
1. Sung in E-flat, right?
2. She was an idiot that managed to get run over by a machine moving at WALKING SPEED. That takes a special kind of stupid.
No, I don’t imagine that it did. I’m curious - what does “PG” think of it?
Reason, she died defending the terrs right to dig tunnels so that they could import drugs, prostitutes and weapons to kill civilians. She was too stupid to get out of the way of a really big machine. Her published picture shows her burning the American flag.
I don’t apologize for this. It’s the least her memory deserves.
