Now that the latest Republican front-runner for President is a Komodo Dragon, Obamabots everywhere will immediately demand our votes because “Komodo Dragon is worse than Obama,” but this particular Komodo Dragon is actually a very handsome fellow, for a Komodo Dragon, just like Obama is a very handsome fellow, for a stinking con-man, and just like Obama…

His mouth is full of poison.

So the answer is still…

“No, I won’t vote for Barack Obama, even if the Republicans nominate a Komodo Dragon.”

At the end of a decade in which the United States killed more than 1,000,000 people in Iraq, for nothing, and destroyed its own economy, who better to sum us up than the idiot/monster Jerome Isaac, who burned an old lady to death in an elevator and then accidentally set himself on fire while he was trying to burn down his own house?

Poor old Christopher "Hooch" Hitchens is dead at the unripe age of… whatever.

"No God but beer," as he used to say.

They should pickle that clown and prop him up outside a liquor store.

Kashan is a sprawling oasis in north central Iran. The remains of an enormous ziggurat constructed by the Elamites more than 7000 years ago are still visible on a nearby hill.

A graduate student in cognitive psychology at UC Berkeley, Mr. Bryan Alvarez has recently posted an article about OWS on HuffPo with a very edifying title…

“Forgive the 1%.”

The 1% is a meme for a type of behavior, not a fixed group of people. 1% behaviors promote short-term self-benefit at the expense of harming others. We all act in our own self-interest at times, sometimes at the expense of other people or life, and some actions do more damage than others. But, separate from the actions themselves or the magnitude of their impact, there is a person inside that deserves unconditional dignity and compassion.

Hurrah!

Wouldn’t it be lovely if the “more for me” mentality were confined to 1% of the population or 1% of behavior or even 1% of the surface of the earth, but since “more for us” is more or less the essence of Occupy Wall Street’s complaints about income inequality, the question of selflessness isn’t really in play. But congratulations anyway to the otherwise unknown and cleverly self-promoting Mr. Bryan Alvarez, who managed to splash his name around HuffPo on the basis of not much more than goody-goody blather.

And if Mr. Bryan Alvarez had somehow acquired a smidgen of what it might make sense to call “education” while he was sucking his way into Cal Berkeley, he might have encountered a beautifully apposite aphorism by William Blake…

“The cut worm forgives the plow.”

FORGIVE THE PLOW, WORMS!

Now isn’t that a wonderful slogan for Occupy Wall Street? It even suggests one of those “reframings” so dear to the heart of Democratic shills like George Lakoff, and instead of describing the pitifully incoherent American Left as “a bag of cats,” it would be ever so much more descriptive to call them “a bucket of worms.”

You can’t herd a bucket of worms!

And now we return to ordinary reality, where the stinking con-man Barack Obama is about to roll through the Democratic primaries with no more significant resistance than a couple of worms can oppose to a plow.

I just now learned that Yoko Ono organized a concert for the survivors of Fukushima way back in April, and after some initial puzzlement…

Yoko Ono? Isn’t she the heroin groupie who turned John Lennon’s money into a billion-dollar real estate fortune? And now she puts on CONCERTS for good causes? IMHO the former inhabitants of Fukushima would be better off with a big fat check than a concert from some no-talent billionaire.

Who else is in her band? The Koch brothers?

…after some initial puzzlement, I realized that Yoko Ono was absolutely right, as always…

…and by some strange coincidence, I also have $1 billion and I know how to play the ocarina. So instead of financing an anti-nuke campaign with $50 million, and donating another $50 million to those thousands of refugees from Fukushima who are still right now camping out in high-school gymnasiums, I decided to organize an ocarina concert.

Ocarinas for Peace!

And I almost forgot…

HURRAH FOR ME!

I’m almost as wonderful as Yoko Ono.

Obama-Dahmer

In the wake of charges that US drones slaughtered six young children in Afghanistan last week, President Barack Obama announced that he had eaten all six of the little bodies, in a gesture that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney calls “a sign of respect,” while other high-level White House sources described it as “a touching homage to President Obama’s psychological role-model, the convicted child-murderer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer.”

Responding for Congressional Republicans, Speaker of the House John Boehner said that “George W. Bush may have killed a few children in the Middle East, but he didn’t eat them,” and “eating them makes it so much worse.”

In related news, Dodd Mead’s celebrity cookbook division announced a $10 million advance for Michelle Obama’s Child-Meat Cookbook.

Yummy!
