Idleberry got up on her soapbox and proclaimed:
No offence to any American Sinisterians, but you have picked the crappiest most moronic president ever. And I disagree with 99% of everything he says. Particularly on environmental issues, abortion, and his ideas about his countries economy, and defence.
Hey, big surprise....we do too. You have to understand. In a democracy, scuse me i meant oligarchy we have no say whatsoever. But hey, the propaganda machine has convinced even you that we are actually in charge of our own country.
So heres my plan of action.
A) We boycott the USA. Any sinisterians who live out there and don't like him and want to be on this side, feel free.
Mmmm....boycott the USA. I generally do that now. But as I am American and live here, you may ask how? And here is where I mutter something about counterculture...blah..blah...90's......indie music...underground...something or other....
We build a great big fence around America, and refuse to let them export their Nikes, Big Macs and Pepsis. It won't be a bad thing, really, we'll all just see an international improvement on health, and heart disease will fall.
Great plan! Except for the fact that this was already done (in a bizarre metaphor gone mad called the Iron Curtain.) But hey, Idle(berry) hands are the devil's workshop. Don't blame me I VOTED for Satan! We could do with a little more of "wilt as thou do shall be the law of the whole."
Thats what they do with anyone they don't like. Well I don't like George W(anks in a) Bush. Until he agrees with everything I say and does whatever I tell him to. Trust me, my plans are good, clean, environmentally healthy and fun. The first thing I would ask him to do is resign. A resignation speech from GWB might be the most sensible words to ever come out in a coherent sentence from him.
Well..SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE...ahem....*cough* (sounds of clearing throat continues on for some time) I'd have to agree that the U.S. uses tough love to get it's own big-brotherly way. But as the boy in the Antidrug Ad says when his dad catches him taking drugs and asks him where he learned such sordid behavior... "I LEARNED IT FROM YOU, DAD! I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!!!" (cross-reference: Imperial England) Is anyone else getting bored? Ok...here's the brass tacks.... 1)This argument has all of the political conviction and well-informed opinion of a RageAgainstTheMachine cover band. 2)Leave Americans alone.....(sounds of a prim lady in the background screaming... "Leave that child alone! Haven't you done enough already!") I mean "Jeez"! 3)Aren't there any groups you could join to actually DO something about where YOU live? I mean, somewhere you might have a stake and some KNOWLEDGE besides second hand info you gleaned from watching space signaled culture brought you by Disney, NIKE, and whothefuck? It's just plain insulting(sad) and misled (sadder still) to think that America is anything like you think. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED. (Me? I still picture London like the chimney-sweep scene from Mary Poppins...but I don't draw any political wherewithal from it.....cept maybe some socialist tendencies :) Humbly your faithful colonist, The Exiled Prince of Pickles P.S. Are we self-centered or satisfied and unjealous? (Next Chapter) P.P.S. Oh, when the wall goes up....we're repossessing rock/pop music. Sorry, old chum, you can't pick and choose. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
