Obamaargh in the obamagon

OMFG! July 1, 2008! Only 126 days of daily disillusionment left before obamascendancy!

We call the blackmail our overlords use against us negotiation. We pretend to demand the terms that assuage our guilt over our complicity.

Those kids in Appalachia and the inner cities whose free breakfasts will increase by maybe a couple hundred calories a day if Obama is elected rather than McCain? Little hungry hostages held against my obamapostasy. To the ramparts of self-justification, mofos! Your womb is yours to control as long as it maintains your participation in empire.

Remember, as pissed off as Obama makes you while running for president, the minute he's elected he begins his re-election campaign for 2012.

There is some shit I will not eat. Theoretically. Chomp.

The secret weapon in controlling obamapostasy in general and begrudged Democratic votes in particular are assholes like these.

Remember, we serve the same function to control the whacks on the Right, and to our Overlords, we are all whacks, regardless of the relative truth of our whackness, vis a vis our Overlords' comfortable power and our toolery in helping them increase it.

That's the box, mofos. Let's argue who's inside hammering out or outside hammering in.

Chomp, mofos. I'm getting there. I won't get there, but I'm getting there.
