As Boss of the Gorbel-Type Cube,
I'm "privy" to top-secret clues.
Though nothing's "askew,"
I'm sensing a new
Disturbance afoot in the Cube.

I feel the Cube shaking and rumbling
in anger at cap'talist grumbling
that Cap 'n' Trade looms
with rules birth-to-tomb
reveals something BIG to be coming.

I know not the form it will take
but yet I'm quite sure it will make
the Cube more Progressive
but also digressive,
and thus, the new Cube I await.

I hope this means that our gulag beets will be fresh fresher, instead of the leftovers picked off the Kommandant's floor or from under the pigs feet. But, I am humbly grateful in whatever form they appear . . . I'm sure Kommandant Internment FEMA Camp Observer.

Ala zag! And I was just in rememberance of old days in caves and so enjoying modern Gulag facilities and now there is HopeinChange for even more glorious disturbances. I am not knowing how much more of this is takable.

I hate to dissapoint you but the "something big" that's coming won't be a beet. It will be part of what we plan for the diet of the Global Warming Deniers. You've heard of Soylent Green? Well, that's what we in the collective will be blessed to have on our menu, but the Deniers will receive Soylent Brown (also known as Gorbels Brown) until such time as they cease being "deniers," at which time they will be allowed to "go Green."

As I'm sure you know, I've been "going Green" all my life.

I hope this alleviates some of your concerns.

Given your fond remembrances of the old days in caves, I have no doubt you will feel right at home on the Gore Estates, which has specially-designed, eco-friendly facilities instead of the so-called "modern" facilities that waste one of Mothe Earth's most precious resources: Water.



Enjoy your visit. Let me know how things "go."

Comrades, this idle speculation, hearsay & surmise, rumor mongering and gossip will not be tolerated. You will know what we want you to know when we want you to know it. Until then, it's on a need to know basis.

Know whadda I mean?

This sounds like Red Heresy^TM!

Fear not. We're saving the biggest for you. (Soylent Green, of course, since we know you're not a "denier.")

At present, we're operating on a need-to-go basis rather than need-to-know.

Ever since the world's scientists unamimously declared AGW to be Truth, Green has become the new Red, so what you're really describing is Green Heresy, which is different from Green Hearsay (or even Green Heresay, which is more immediate in its impact than Green Hearsay).

And, of course, we know that doubters guilty of Green Heresy must be limited to Soylent Brown until they turn Green.

Something BIG???? I can't wait!

I think we are about to drop a deuce on the deniers!

You know, the tea-baggers claim we've been doing that for years. The worst we could do would be to inadvertantly help them wake up and smell the deuce, so we need to call it Soylent Brown. We should adapt the UPS motto: "What can brown do for you today?"

It reminds me of an old Army story (the Soviet Army, of course). Two brothers, Ivan and Igor, were drafted at the same time. Both wanted to be "real" soldiers in the infantry, but when they were assigned to a company, the captain told Igor he would be the cook. This made Igor quite angry, and he threatened to desert, but the Captain told him he'd be shot. However, the Captain made him a promise in front of the entire company: "Igor, you will be the cook until somebody claims not to like your cooking, at which time the complainer will become the cook and you will become an infantryman." Igor felt great relief because he knew he was a terrible cook.

However, after every meal, no one criticized his cooking, so he kept trying to make it worse. He served overcooked food, undercooked food and uncooked food, but still no one complained. So he reverted to making chili every meal and made it hotter, and hotter and hotter. Still no complaints.

Then he saw his opportunity when the company camped near a cow-pasture. During the night he sneaked into the pasture and gathered a large number of cow-pies and brought them to his tent-kitchen. While everyone slept, he mad a huge batch of "chili" for which the main ingredients were the cow-pies.

The next day, as the soldiers were eating his chilli, a number of them suddenly stood up and said, "This chili taste like s--t," but just as Igor's chest was swelling with pride that he would soon become an infantryman, the same soldiers immediately said in unison, "But we really like it!"

As long as we can continue to count on our apparachniks to discipline the sweating masses to not only stand up and proclaim they like our programs but to also actually believe in them, we have nothing to fear.

But, as I said to Supercommissar Maksim in his column today about (about infiltrating the tea-bagger hate-fest against Harry Reid in his own hone town):

"Another thing of great stress is the fact that Our Media are beginning to lose their grip on the population. I was greatly distressed to see Matt Lauer fail so miserably in his attempt to show his audience what a total fool is Laura Ingraham. "

On the other hand, our control of the media (news and entertainment) is so overwhelming, we can afford a few slip-ups by lightweights like Lauer-- especially since only party members watch NBC. So, I'm sure we're really safe after all. Aren't we?

Gorbels Cube,

I hope I'll still be able to get my hands on some black market hair straightener and use a hot curling iron with the new BIG CUBE CHANGE.

To our Dear Leader, Red Square:

Wow, it's even bigger and better than expected. We hope you'll finally be able to get some sleep after toiling in the techno-gulag for so long.
