2-stroke

The US of A is a two stroke engine. Democrats provide the intake and Republicans provide the exhaust. Welcome back to the intake. Enjoy it while it lasts and try to notice the difference.

Snapshot.

Today's play....

God, State, and Empire.

Howdy and welcome slaves. I know you have had a hard life but I'm here to tell you that management has decided to cut you a break. Yes, that is right, we love you so much that you can now take a day of relaxation. And while you are relaxing you can pay homage to your new god. The god or relaxing. He, like you, works all the time, but one day a week he rests. So, to honor your new god, you must spend your day off worshiping him, else its back to work, my friends.

Religulous.

Interviewer: "It worries me that people running my country believe in a talking snake."

Mark Pryor (D Arkansas): "You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate, though."

First thought: OMFG, we are doomed.
Second thought: Hmm, Mark Pryor is a genius.  Senators should have to pass an IQ test to govern peoples of these United States.

Allies and Axis

We now start to regain control of our government (maybe? hopefully?).
While our "allies" restoke their own little, local empire engine.
Who is in charge?  Who is to blame?
Jews, Christians and Muslims supporting the Oligarchies.
My eye is also on you, Scientology and other latter day cults.  
Please, fellow humans, just say no to this opiate.
Reason before faith.
