what the fuck is a meme?

Ok, so I’ve been tagged twice for this. I generally stay out but I guess I don’t want the wrath of Matt Freeman ( http://matthewfreeman.blogspot.com/ ) or my ex-roommate, ( http://litdept.blogspot.com/2006/12/i-was-it-now-youre-it.html )both of them terrific playwrights who have the ability to crush a person if you know what i mean. This is what I have to do: 1) Find the nearest book 2) Open to page 123 3) Type lines 6 - 8 of said book 4) Tag three others. 1 Women by Charles Bukowski 2 ok 3 opened it. I took it an hid it in the broom closet. “Bobby,” she said over the phone, “this is Tammie. Did you just phone? Where’s your wife? Listen, I’ll be right down.” 4 I refuse to tag three others. I tag everyone instead. If you read this you must do it. If you don’t have a blog, you must email it to three people. Or you could say fuck you Adam and loudly refuse to do it and curse my name in public and private. But please do something, for christsake, oh and HappyNewYear!!!

"The detainee was Donald Vance, a 29-year-old Navy
veteran from Chicago who went to Iraq as a security
contractor. He wound up as a whistle-blower, passing
information to the F.B.I. about suspicious activities
at the Iraqi security firm where he worked, including
what he said was possible illegal weapons trading"

...

"Even Saddam Hussein had more legal counsel than I
ever had," said Mr. Vance, who said he planned to sue
the former defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld, on
grounds that his constitutional rights had been
violated. "While we were detained, we wrote a letter
to the camp commandant stating that the same
democratic ideals we are trying to instill in the
fledgling democratic country of Iraq, from simple due
process to the Magna Carta, we are absolutely,
positively refusing to follow ourselves."
