Its
Sunday and I have free-lance work to do so here I am at 8:00am watching
Chris Wallace interview Nancy Pelosi. I should watch my DVD boxed set
of old episodes of Capitan Kangaroo instead of upsetting myself
watching Western Civilization collapse. Thank you, you granola-eating
hippies in San Francisco, for sending us this gift to American
democracy, this steely-eyed, plastic-faced harridan of a Pelosi.
The amazing thing is that people can listen to what she's saying and
think that we're headed for anything but economic collapse. The twisted
thinking is so completely and manifestly
wrong that
the disastrous consequences are easy to see. These are people who think
that increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit payout is a tax cut.
Pelosi states that the most expensive budget item in the Bush budget
was the anemic tax cut which preceded a curious rise in revenues. But
cause and effect are not going to cut much ice with people who ignore
the lack of relationship between carbon dioxide levels and temperature
and are poised to destroy any remaining industry that hasn't yet been
completely crippled by their predatory worker's unions by enacting the
same cap and trade carbon tax scheme that was such a failure in Europe.
This in the middle of a decline in global temperatures; ignore the
arctic temperatures, our oft-changed computer models are all you need
to know.
Do you like driving your car? Well, this being a
beautiful Sunday morning with temperatures in the 70's, you wont have
to even put on your slippers to walk outside and gaze fondly at the
Global Warming Gas Belching Menace that the Democrats are going to
rip from your driveway, you
climate criminal! Take the old flivver for a spin with the windows
down, no phone calls, and just revel in the feeling of being able to go
wherever you like, whenever you like unlike what it will be like on the
smelly, unmaintained, crowded public bus which is what lies in your
future once the National Resources Defense Council is done writing our
pollution laws.
But thats OK. Its not like you'll have a job to
go to. Hyper-inflation will allow you to afford your fixed-rate
mortgage, even pay it off from the weekly Economic Stimulus payout that
will be placed in your account at The Government Bank by the US
Treasury's reliable computer, adjusting it for the 35% inflation that
occurs every week, of course. If you're not feeling tip-top you can go
line up for free Prozac and Zanex at the Government Hospital if you can
stand the screaming of the untended 'patients' in the filthy, moldering
wards and the blood-caked nightmare of the emergency room. For those
that cant stomach that there will be dispensaries for medical marijuana
produced by the Department Of Agriculture and included in your 'free
medical care'. This is tricky. The Department Of Agriculture will have
amazing success raising indoor cloned sensi buds but not so much
success with less important crops like wheat and corn so the munchies
that are caused by the medical use of marijuana might not have anything
around to satisfy them. Meat and any form of transfat will be illegal
of course. Cows cause global warming, you see.
So the
barbarians have taken over the capital. They are dreaming dreams of
instituting the Depression-curing policies of The Sacred Franklin.
Except we wont be as gauche as they were in the 30's and insist that
people in government make-work jobs actually
work. Well,
at least the sun is shining. If I didnt have to work on 'Superhero
Squad' I'd be laying out in the sun on my hammock reading a book. Next week.
