GOODBYE DEMOCRACY HELLO CORPORATOCRACY

It is a court.

It is called a Supreme Court.

It is supremely shameless.

Smiling
Black-robed
Dead
Souls.

A Presidency was voted for and selected, and now, a country's Future.

FASCISM HAS BEEN LEGALIZED.

***

U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself argued against the strengthening corporatocracy in the form of a military-industrial complex that sets national and international financial, economic, political and military policies due to a permanent war economy.
In his 2004 book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins writes; "corporations, banks, and governments (collectively the corporatocracy)".
The concept of a government run by corporations or instances where governments are actually weaker (politically, financially, and militarily) than corporations is a theme often used in both political fiction and science fiction. In these instances the dominant corporate entity is usually dubbed a megacorporation.

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

Dick Cheney has no business judging President Obama.

Well, actually, he does have a business, and it has been (when he's not shooting friends) to make money with scare tactics and deception (Iraq...9/11).

This liar should keep his crooked, twisted, treacherous mouth shut.

Mr. Cheney, like Mr. Crazy-Eyed Giuliani, Rappin' Turd-Blossom Rove, Bonkers-Beck, AND Lame Brain Limbaugh, are still pushing their duplicitous dope and fear-mongering onto the American public.

The scary part is that these NEOCON cheerleaders (and the GOP) might just succeed in returning the Post-Bushies such as winky-dinky-slinky soccer mom Palin, or maybe Gingrich---or some other as yet unknown dark horse---to the White House.

Obama's war in Afghanistan (and maybe Yemen) are fertilizing the ground for a Republican White House again.

It won't be the dire omens of the Mayan calendar that will do us in.

Bush the bad Decider-Deceiver, and now the decent and good Obama-the-Changer, are cozy with the Pentagon and the Banks, and must faithfully obey orders of the Shadow Government.

At least we have the Super Bowl to look forward to.

I'm rooting for the best team to win next week between the Cowboys and Vikings.

Bring the Troops home!

NO MORE BLOOD AND TREASURE FOR OIL!

DEAR BOB DYLAN

Bob, Bob, Bob
How could you let Pepsi
Drink
"Forever Young?"
I love you Bob
But I'm jealous
I guess...
If I was a great poet-songwriter
Instead of a minor poet-scribbler
I'd let all of my Muse
Get drunken and eaten.

IS IT STILL THE OIL STUPID?

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
