We're Doing Just Fine

The United Corporatocracy of America is thriving; getting stronger every day. Our media mythmakers have been touting patriotism during the Winter Olympics and covering our successful smokeout of some terrorists in Afghanistan. Our magical money managers are thriving; doing the same derivative swapping that brought us to "THE BRINK" (Yikes!) of financial disaster only months ago. Our actual unemployment rate is at least double the reported rate. What most people still don't get is that the Pie-In-The-Sky Recovery that will come some day will not get those jobs back. Read "Take This Job and Ship It" by Senator Byron Dorgan for the ugly details. The corporate lackies in Congress are playing out a well-planned strategy of obfuscate-delay-exaggerate-delay in opposition to any health insurance reform. They say the same things over and over again with new wording for each new script-of-the-week. It's a low-risk tactic because the majority of Americans are incessantly spoon-fed this crap by the media wing of the Corporatocracy. Now the big hissy-fit is over the Reconciliation process that could put a health insurance reform law into effect. Many Senate Democrats are terrified by the prospect of an up-or-down vote because they would have to reveal their real position on the health insurance industry, which closely resembles that of Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. The great malleable mass that sucks on the major media teat will continue to alternately quake with fear and indulge in soothing distractions while the oligarchy of the elite tightens its hold. Please remove your caps! I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Corporatacracy of America and to the elite class for which it stands! And the rockets' red glare; the bombs bursting in air......" (Oh, I forgot the religious freaks!) God bless America, land that I love!
