So Well



Dear Mr. President, A tip for the next "debate":
   If you grew up in a field of tulips and butterflies,
that's one thing. But when you say you came
from Chicago, you ought to act like it.
To put it bluntly: next time, double-check your drawers
and make sure you don't leave anything at home.

Dear Mr. Romney, Your tip:
   Keep going with your central theme of giving bribe
money to the rich oil companies and taking away
money from children's education. Great message!
Keep up the lying, too. Everybody likes that so well.

Kissing Cousins

It is an oil-based base with a hot air center. A constant pressure of ignorance, fear, and hate is maintained through a hose system of interconnected family ties (see pic on left) and rewritten historical fantasies. On top of the base, at the shoes & socks on the ground level, the business as usual people mentor both the unwilling participants and a paperless society of movers. The shakers already left the building. At the tip top of the very top, the fence-sitter sits on a pedestal. He ostracizes the fence-climbers with a slowly dissolving royal spurnment. There is always the next election, you know. The fact that north is south and east is west is never revealed because that would mean that up is down and right is left. Nobody wants to hear that.

Why are NPR and PBS so biased towards the truth of showing all sides?
