While he is waiting for Yugiri, he cannot tolerate the idea that she has a new patron and he imagines that they are on good terms with each other in the next room. A sound is heard that makes him dive under the quilt, and he pretends to be asleep as Yugiri enters. She greets him with fondness and treats him well, but he cannot accept her affections meekly. He is cold and angry while Yugiri patiently lets his jealousy work itself out so that they are reconciled.

1. “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” by The Who.The conservative movement is full of disillusioned revolutionaries; this could be their theme song, an oath that swears off naïve idealism once and for all.
Lt. General GREGORY NEWBOLD, Retired director of operations at the Pentagon’s military joint staff.

In 1971, the rock group The Who released the antiwar anthem Won’t Get Fooled Again. To most in my generation, the song conveyed a sense of betrayal by the nation’s leaders, who had led our country into a costly and unnecessary war in Vietnam. To those of us who were truly counterculture–who became career members of the military during those rough times–the song conveyed a very different message. To us, its lyrics evoked a feeling that we must never again stand by quietly while those ignorant of and casual about war lead us into another one and then mismanage the conduct of it. Never again, we thought, would our military’s senior leaders remain silent as American troops were marched off to an ill-considered engagement. It’s 35 years later, and the judgment is in: the Who had it wrong. We have been fooled again.

Michael Moore requested to use the song over the end credits of his 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, as it tied in with both Moore’s sentiments over George W Bush’s impending re-election, and the movie’s last line, delivered by Bush — “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” However, permission was refused, and Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World” was ultimately used instead. Townshend, who supported the invasion of Iraq later said that Moore “bullied” him about his refusal, and defended his decision by saying that he was “not convinced” by Moore’s previous film, Bowling for Columbine

maybe that’s why it landed at numero uno on the list

Life and Death Under Il Duche
Gabriel Polloli
Sunday 28 May, 2006
Il Manifesto – ROME
US President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney appeared on national media this evening speaking from the White House Oval Office on the eve of America’s Memorial Day holiday, to jointly announce the suspension of all civil liberties and the immediate invocation of martial law.
“War is inevitable where there is terror, and terror is inevitable, so that war without end is unequivocable,” Bush stated, before Cheney announced the suspension of all constitutional freedoms. In a brief second camera cut-away, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was revealed pumping his fists and doing a little jig on the seal of office carpeting, softly humming, “Il Duche, il duche” over and over.
Sam Donaldson appeared briefly on camera, before the national media stations were replaced by Channel Red Five, the National Office of Truth’s new all-digital full-spectrum dominance broadcast station began announcing government news and speech on radio, TV, cell phone and internet, twenty-four hours a day.
Donaldson’s words were translated from the brief segment of audio tape that Il Manifesto has obtained…
“Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate – only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural hate. Soldiers – don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty, fight for Freedom from these Oppressors, and Democracy from the Decision Takers.”
“You, the people, have the power, the power to create … happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let’s use that power – let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will. “
“Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us … (unclear) … to all men’s happiness.
. . . Look up! Look up! The clouds are lifting – the sun is breaking through. We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world. The soul of man has been given wings – and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow – into the light of hope – into the future, that glorious future that belongs to you, to me and to all of us. Look up. Look up!”
All communications have been suspended with America until further notice, while government authorities complete the installation of eavesdropping devices and public monitoring cameras across the United States.
Wide-spread looting and rape has followed the black out, and combined National Guard and Reserves has been called out to suppress (sic) further violence.
