STATE OF THE ONION

RE-PEEL THE LAYERS OF DICTATORSHIP

Spying and passing laws to transfer wealth to the wealthy from the poor and middle classes, the state of affairs in this place is low:

People know that electronic spying upon Americans is wrong, but let the despots rule because of nashonal securty.

They know that Palistinians have chosen a new government, but G says they are terrerists.

Venesuela offers to assist poor Americans with heating oil, but can't 'cause Hugo must be a commonist.

Nicauagua can't receive attention because they are pro-Castro sochelists.

Which of the above four countries used Dibold electshon machines, and which three actually counted votes cast?

Democrusy has gone nukuler, I guess, so we'll have to bomb the other three.....or impeach someone.

IT'S HARD BEING MEAN

IT'S HARD BEING MEAN

It is hard, Mr Despot, with extra hardships like that scrap of paper, The Constitution, in your way. Yet, some conditions help the ruthless, like the recess appointments, the secret executive orders, and having friends not yet indicted.

Despotism was having a bumper year all year. This year might be slightly less productive for the dictators, since some of the more responsible public servants have done their jobs and either turned state or have investigated and are not corrupt. The voters will not be as but-ugly-stupid as last time, either, and assuming the electronic ballotry is replaced or properly reviewed and uncorrupted, we might rightly get a vote count within the electoral ballpark of fair.

Do not expect anything fair out of this administration or its well-placed department and court appointees. Mine safety or air standards or the bill of rights is all TP to them, and it is for one purpose: as we might imagine, that is to cover the favored, keep them clean, wipe up the mess they make doing it. Company policy.

Happy New Year, if Baby 06 can cross the Southern Fence.
