I wonder if NASA is working on this now.

We need to reincarnate all the sheep into wolves…”arms are the only true badges of liberty,” providing “the distinction of a free man from a slave.”

When sheep learn to point their guns at the legislature then they can roam free.

Make government your terrified servants not our bullying masters. Make every candidate shiver with fear while contemplating political office. Make the word ‘democracy’ synonymous with the ‘n’ word ! Silence the next politician who claims “the people have spoken.”

Sure, there are excesses and unfairness but rest assured, laissez-faire capitalism has a far shorter list of problems realting to this than does government of virtually any type you might care to explore. The American Republic was founded as a conversation but right now, we’ve got a lecture going on and the folks appearing at the lectern may be greedy, but unfortunately, they’re also crazy, dumb or both. If they were greedy but smart, we wouldn’t find ourselves in the daft situation we are in.

We dont have a Gold Standard, we have a bullshit standard.

But throw a few genuinely weak humans in the mix, add a few greedy ones, a few lustful and envious ones, a few angry ones… you have corruption par excellence!

I wish we had a Galt’s Gulch in America. Unfortunately we have Washington DC as a gigantic roadblock on the way there, and it is at the mouth of a box canyon filled with the worst mutated human spirits on Earth. Looks like the idea of leave-be capitalism is best left to science fiction. But I’d like to see that change.

However, it will soon become hard to ignore that we owe alot due to this government’s drunken port-side spending habits. Don’t be surprised if they think inflation is a solution to the problem of our foreign obligations.

Some time in the remote past , a few farmers were finally aroused by governmental fiscal impropriety enough to start a Whiskey Rebellion. While I no longer imbibe, I still greatly admire that dusky liquor and would cheer any concerted effort at a Neo-Whiskey Rebellion to fight the Neo-Conservative Government that practices Neo-Thought on a Neo-Public that has half the brains God gave a learning disabled Pug.

Hillary is to be nominated and all but the good Mr. Paul of her opponents look to be like a bunch of competing Padrones in a backwater Latin American Show-Election. This calls for concerted rebuke and the best we got is fears about the evil Rupert “corrupting” the Wall Street Journal as if it aint already idealogically corrupted beyond measure.

You know, I’m a laissez-faire Capitalist to the bitter end but these morons and mountebanks are sure giving the old pastime a black eye.

Let us now watch as the authoritarian government goes populist and right into the hands of the democrats and we can really see what over-mortgaged governmental benevolence produces. This public is about to be richly given what it thinks it deserves. But that’s in the future and right now, we must watch as the mad Bus Driver From Crawford spins the suicide knob from one disaster to another.

We owe American Traditions alot but this current government, a government that rebukes American Traditions as a matter of course is owed nothing so much as a swift kick in the ass end of the pants. Expecting Bush to Defend and Protect the Constitution is like expecting to find a Lido Deck on the Staten Island Ferry. He is the apogee of a Generation that will swallow as much piffle as is possible to convey in the average 24 hour media cycle.

Sure, we’ll survive these reprobates but exactly what will remain in the rubble? The institutions and history remain but this generation has amply demonstrated that it is not up to the task of continuing the Revolution because it thinks fantasy consumption an existence worthy of note.

I got dem ole Ressentiment Blues.
Oddly enough, the comic value, however dark, only seems to be growing.

My doubts are growing about Bush’s fidelity to his oath of office.

What is with Maine? The folks I have met from Maine have generally been sharp. The ladies I have seen from Maine have durn near all been above average.

And what does Maine send to the Senate?!!?

(BTW have you seen The Simpsons Movie yet? I thought it was wonderfully anti-government, and I thought some of the other gags were good metaphors for government even if the writers didn’t intend it, such as Homer’s “pig crap” silo:

Marge: Homer, it’s leaking!
Homer (impatiently): It’s not leaking. It’s overflowing)
