Thanksgiving Holiday Tip # 239-T-1127-A

During Thanksgiving, as American toiling masses traditionally give thanks to the government for what it has distributed to them, all conscientious members of community are required to experience the following emotions:

(a) deep gratitude to the government for letting them live;
(b) utter unworthiness compared to the magnanimity of the state;
(c) everlasting guilt for consuming what they have not produced, as well as for not giving back to the community according to their abilities.

If you do not experience said emotions, you are not a conscientious member of community and shall be disposed of according to the Party Manual (Page 894, Paragraph 5) with all your belongings confiscated by the state and redistributed to the more worthy members according to their needs.

Report your Thanksgiving feelings here.

Have A Glorious Progressive Thanksgiving!
(It's mandatory)
Red Square
Director of Unanimity

I can't tell you how terrible I feel.  Especially with this Pre-Thanksgiving feast I'm eating right now.

*munch* *munch*

I feel horrible... *BUURRRPP!!* just knowing that there are people out there that the government can't reach. *munch* There must be some way for them to get some kind of help. *eat* Some way for someone to make their lives better. *munch* *munch* Someone who isn't me.

Comrades, I was angered when my bourgeoisie superintendent told me I could not toil on this national day of over-indulgence! I was not asked, but told to stay home on this day. To make things worse, he said person shows up at my one room apartment with a 20lb turkey and all the fixin's! How is a prole to honestly survive in a society such as this? What will my wife and child to think if we partake in a feast of one day with more food than we consume in 6 weeks! Comrade Red Square, can you help us? Comrade Betty, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Citizen's,

     A day of decadence!  I will be flashing my "Commie" friends the "bird", as an act of Holiday solidarity!  This traditional gesture should be accompanied by the verbal greeting,  F.U.! (Financial Unity)  Have a happy and productive Holiday Comrades!

                                                                                 Publius

COMrades!  I was so thankful to see that at least some of the proles are still hard at work preventing this disgusting display of gluttony and racial prejudice to infect the little minds of future gulag members:
A Claremont Review of Thanksgiving
It is truly a reason for thanksgiving that so many owe so much to so few.


Capitalists at their filthy play.

I want to wish all my Comrades and the Collective here a Sufficiently Depressing Thanksgiving. Happy for the victory of the World of Next Tuesday, and depressed we still have not impeached the Bush and he can still do mischief till the coronation.

I was just sitting here today mulling over the inspiring story of the first group of Community Organizers that made it here on the Mayflower so many years ago. I am in awe of the collective farms that they first enacted would have been able to feed the whole world had it not been for the global ice age that those capitalist bandits from Spain created in their reckless destruction of the earth in the search for gold and their introduction of horse flatulence that had never been exposed in this paradise before. I think of the good fortune they had to be welcomed by the original socialist collective, the peace loving native-American, a group that were hyphenated before it was even cool to be hyphenated. These brave Community Organizers set to work bringing the People together, that is until the second year here when they were perverted by insidious republican conservatives that led to capitalist exploitation and corruption and genocide that continued till we finally fought back and won the State Given Right for guaranteed outcomes, equal distribution of health and wealth, and non-critical thinking among many. So as we sit down tomorrow to our traditional State dinner of boiled, broiled, or fried rats, beet stuffing and imitation polar bear gravy, candied carrots, and fresh 2 day old bread, give  thanks to the One. By the way, any one heard what time the state will be bringing us our dinner?

Don't you just love the holiday season? It already has me singing this old classic....

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Clinton


It's beginning to look a lot like Clinton
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the cabinet, gloating once again
With tax raises and and subsidy lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Clinton,
Liberals in ev'ry space,
But the prettiest sight to see is the Feds that will be
busting down your front door.

A pair of storm trooper boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Emanuel and Holder;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Rice and Kagan;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for indoctrination to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Clinton
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a shovel in the Grand foryer, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Clinton;
Soon the purges will start,
And the thing that will make them sting is the truth that you knew
Right within your heart.

I am thankful that eight long years of oppression, death and destruction are finally coming to an end, and we will finally have the freedom to speak out, and all our rights restored.
     
I am thankful to be gifted with the wondrous marvel that is Obama, for he will save the entire world from the evil that is Bush.  

Attention All Comrades:  You will tune in to your local evening newscasts tomorrow night, that you might be filled with guilt and shame from an endless bombardment of heartwrenching profiles of those receiving their Thanksgiving meals in soup kitchens and homeless shelters, innocents who have been crushed by the relentless brutality of the Bush dictatorship.  You will be told what you were told last year, that not only are there more of these people than the previous year, but they're looking more and more like you all the time--meaning YOU are next!--so you may as well spit out that pumpkin pie you're enjoying right now!

In the meantime, here's a little pre-holiday guilt to warm you up chill you out.  Make sure you check out the video at right.  

The New (Rich) Poor

Let us rejoice that under Obama, we will see no more long lines of people forced to choose between groceries and Mercedes-Benzes.  Let us rejoice that by this time next year, we will not see these downtrodden masses anywhere as we sit down to give thanks for our government-issued Soylent Green turkeys.

Comrades!!!  The way I see it, only proles should feel guilty.  As for us members of The Party™ and the Inner Circle™ we should not because we are more equal than others. So let us be grateful! As the elite of the hard left, we are about see our dream of the destruction of the  imperialistic running dog called Amerika come true. Where we will build in it's place a perfect Marxist/Obamunist state. Also, let us eliminate this bourgeois and racist day of giving thanks. And replace it with a new day of celebration, every Nov. 4th, where The Party™ and the unwashed masses will offer up accolades to The Obamessiah™ for liberating Amerika from the evils of capitalism and it's prostitute bedmate, imperialism!

/karacter off/
If I can keep up writing like this without regurgitating my most recent meal, could I get a job at the CBS Evening News?

ZB

I wish all non-imperialistic comrades a most joyous Thursday (which is now not more or less joyous than any other day now that Obama has arrived) as we give thanks to the State for giving us our daily bread and delivering us from the evil of capitalism as we should be doing EVERY day of our miserable lives here in the collective.  And, we should all be doubly greatful that we will no longer be slaughtering helpless birds for food and watching future Wall Street imperailists bounce off of each other while chasing the skin of hapless pigs as part of the bizarre reactionary rite of "Thanksgiving" when we used to give thanks to an invisible entity which does not exist for favors he did not bestow.  So once again, have a wonderful Nov 27 which is now like any other day in the wonderful world of life in the age of Obama.

I'm thankful for the Obama Inaugural dollar.




And the Obama Victory plate.



And the Obama coin set.



And the Obama bobble head.

Yo Red G.

Ain't dissin the gubmint for beets, an a sharp shovel.
  

and here is my face o respect   

now am off to the shelter for free food before rolling phat

And makin' thugs out you suckas.
From the cradle to the grave.

Comrades,

Turkeys are very expensive in East Asia. I have decided accordingly to feast on a jive turkey. This will allow me to save money for others to "spread around" and reduce the number of those to whom it will be spread, thereby doubling the redistributive effect.

Pardon the pun, comrades, but this year, I am festively "meating" out social justice.

Oh, I do hope to see "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Clinton" in the People's Karaoke! Given the season, maybe they'll start to play it at the local Starbucks where I community organize with other anti-globalism progressives to plot the overthrow of the oppressive capitalist regime.

I'm gonna have me some Chicken Little^tm for Thanksgiving.  MMMM boy!  the memories.  Chicken, grown in a vat!

Could there be some Neo-Con's and Moderate Rethuglikan's in with the chickens? It looks like the Rethuglikan party after the results from the last election. I hope they can make some good dog food for my compound watch dogs from the "accident".

Yes, I'm thankful Comrades. Thankful that our Dear Leader is ready to be inaugurated and fulfill His destiny as Maximum Leader of the Progressive world. May this country once again be loved by all the world. May the USSA begin to pay reparations to the world for the criminal actions of Bu$Hitler and his agent of Evil, VP Cheney.

Thank you Comrades, the Party and The Inner Circle for my weekly ration of beets and a portion of cabbage, now and then. Thank you!! I also thank you for my ration of potato vodka and my alloted time at the Party Pleasure Palace!!

I'm thankful for genuine Russian Barack Obama nesting dolls!

Pinkie that goes great with our great Comrad Leader Barack Hussian Obama he will be sure to put that next to our glorius new state flag.



I think all citizens should be required I mean obliged to say they are thankful for Comrad Leader Obama this Thanksgiving.

Comrades, let me first say how thankful I am to Comrade Obama for suspending my liquidation for another six months.  I had to sign a waiver stating that I would never run against him in any type of election.  Small price to pay.

As this glorious day of line standing and waiting for our turkey handout comes to an end, I would just like to remind all of our progressive comrades to “Remain Vigilant!”  Translated to academic superiority this means we need to remain guilty.  The Bushhitler will try to convince you to consume today during evil capitalistic expressions of “Great Deals”!  Don’t be fooled my brothers!  If our true leader, Cocaine Osama had wanted you to have a blue ray disk player, then he certainly would have given you one for your humble dwelling!  It is all nothing more than subtle brainwashing of the Bushhiter and his minions.  Stay focused, stay guilty, stay poor!  We are the ones who we have been waiting for!

Comrades,

For those of you in AmeriKKKa who, for whatever reactionary reason, clung to the tradition of murdering a defenseless turkey (symbolic of workers everywhere!) to eat it (you closet capitalists!), I hope you at least had the proletarian conscience to buy a fair trade turkey.

Imagine my surprise when I read an article questioning the fairness of fair trade. It included the following, which shocked my caring unquestioning progressive core:



I think a new name will solve the problem. Not "fair trade," but "fair exploitation," or perhaps "compassionate capitalism." How about "faironomics"?

So typical of the Eurocentric white dominant culture!  Raping thousands of turkeys and poor mother earth indiscriminately with their massive swollen penis of capitalism!  The new term is clear comrade!  OBAMANOMICS!
Corporate Bailouts aplenty to spread the wealth of a million citizens to the government mob complex who stole the election for our dear leader!  Instead of each turkey being raped by a guilty rich land owner, each turkey will instead have Cocaine Osama’s personal stamp of approval injected into it from behind!  Treat the turkeys just like the party treats the proletariat!  Bend over and get your new Obamafication!

This is almost identical to what a high school friend of mine posted on her Facebook status.  That was right before she deleted me from her friend list for being less enlightened than her.  But believe me, comrades, I am working hard to improve my progressive beliefs.  I have already disowned my family for believing the Republican lies about the history of Thanksgiving.

Truly though, I am a struggling doctor who just opened my first practice a few short months ago.  I am very thankful that we have elected a progressive visionary who will allow me to provide my services to all people equally and will free me from the burden of having to decide for myself which medications to prescribe or surgeries to recommend.  I am also thankful I will never have to worry about being profitable again since my new government can tell me exactly how much money I am to make.

Comrades, it is with a sad heart I watch this display of unwanton gluttony that is perpetuated by the Bu$h kkkrime family. If only the Obamamessiah were installed now as leader of the oppressed. Sigh. With a mere wave of his hand the seas would recede and global weather would cease.

Oh Obamamesssiah the most merciful, we beseech thee.
Give us this day our daily shovel so that we may smite the enemies of the state.
Lead us through the corrupt landscape of capitalism and make the world of Next Tuesday appear before us.
Oh most benevolent, sublime, all seeing and all knowing, thou who knowest our thoughts before we think them, cleanse us of all evil. Lead us to our free Obamamessiah selection commeration plates where we may place our daily potato next to your messianic likeness.
Oh most supreme Obamamessiah, punish the naysayers with your mighty sword, all of these things we seek of thee oh most perfect one.
Oh most glorious Obamamessiah we know that The Michelle has decreed that ou will require us to work, we will gladly do so. And Lastly keep us safe from The Michelle as she is one to truly fear.

Comrade Freedomslave,

That's just the term I was looking for!

Regarding Obama, cocaine, and injecting turkeys, isn't food enhancement with cocaine a process jealously and abusively guarded by Coca-Cola? Maybe it is even trademarked, copyrighted, registered, and patented. But with Obamanomics, such legacy laws can be done away with for once and for all.

Comrade Commie Pinko,

Surely it is a sign of the expansion of the Party's tentacles that I am have not seen your name before. Then again, names are but expediencies. We shall each have our own numbers soon enough.

I am touched by the depth of your understanding, comrade. May I suggest, however, that you quickly utilize your current credentials to move away from medicine and up in the Party, because--as we all know--they will soon be invalidated or handed out like bailout Capitalist Exploitation Units, for what are qualifications, licenses, and credentials but mere schemes designed to oppress and exclude? Their expiration date is nearing, comrade.

That said, being The One's private physician could be rewarding: dachas in Chicago and DC, Party-members-only commuter lanes, etc. Then again, might you recall the scene from The Untouchables where the barber accidentally nicks Al Capone's neck while giving him a shave? And that barber was probably licensed by the city of Chicago.

Herr Doktor Commie Pinko, I am so pleased to find a progressive man of medicine. Or I should say person of medicine for it is not my practice to inquire whether you are male or female or somewhere in between, like Bruno. Of course with him the Carmen Miranda drag gives things away. Do you go into your consultations with mangoes on your head? But I digress.

If you work very hard you may become the physician to the Chosen One. I admit that you won't be able to pay off all those college and medical-school bills but then you might have them waived by fiat. And then, like Mao's physician, you can write a tell-all book. Mao's physician said that he never washed his private parts, thinking that that would decrease his virility. If you are the doctor to the chosen one you will be able to tell the world what he did to able to walk on water.

And since, Herr Doktor Commie Pinko, you are new to the Cube and the Progressive World of Next Tuesday, please know that rank is nothing--except here where it's everything. And property is nothing, except here, when it belongs to the biggest son-of-a-bitch commissar with hooks to hold onto it. I'm currently pitting Chairman Meowsevich Punchenko, the skilled thief, Commissarka Pinkie, she of the tin-clad golden shovel; Marshal Pupovich, who nips at my ankles all the time, against each other for the brass ring.

Which I shall offer to Our Many Titted Empress, and when she jumps for it, I'm going to shove the Katie Couric Head down her throat and then I'll be top dog.

For remember: all animals are created equal but some are more equal than others.

Yo G!

'member, Theo, we gots yo back, bro.

And makin' thugs out you suckas.
From the cradle to the grave.

All right, all right, Marxist. I"m damned tired of you taking about making me a thug. I am not a thug. I am a Democrat. There are four more letters in "Democrat" than in "thug"--get it?

A thug threatens people with force. A Democrat threatens people with force and then tells them that if they object they're selfish and politically incorrect. Get it?

A thug takes people's wallets on the street corner. A Democrat has their boss take their wallets every two weeks. Get it?

A thug cuts people with a knife. A Democrat pays thugs to make little thugs to cut people with knives, who are the disenfranchised of the world. Get it?

I swear, if you say I'm a thug just once more, I'll turn you over to Rahm Emanuel. And you'll really wish you'd behaved.

Comrade Commie Pinko, it is with a sad heart I must suggest that you have wasted many years and Lenin knows how much in the way of potential campaign contributions you have wasted pursuing a vocation such as this, no doubt lured by the capitalist dream of wealth and privilege. I suggest that you refine your skills with the Peoples Shovel™, for with  the advent of the Glorious World of Next Tuesday, there will soon be little need of such bourgeois services such as medicine, outside of the small number set aside for the Inner Circle. For the Party will now be able to enforce on the people more healthy lifestyles, eliminate risks such as eating high calorie, fatty foods, or engage in risky behaviors such as skiing, motorcycling, or any sports. The Party's Five Year Plan will lead to equality of health and mandate acceptable mortality rates. Now of course, there is still a chance you may be chosen to be one of the select few chosen to take care of us in the Inner Circle, since our many duties and life styles put us at a More Equal risk.

Pupovichk do not dishearten our fledgling doctor. As you suggest he may be destined for the Inner Circle in which case I hope that he's studied face lifts and tummy tucks, and some transplant theory of course. But if he's going to be ministering to the proles, give the fellow a tub of aspirin and tell him to roll all of them that he wants. A week of high school would do that.

It's like global warming, er, climate change you see. Something's happening. Stop capitalism.

I feel bad.

Take an aspirin.

Same thing, you see. There's a problem, and who cares what problem. There's one solution and it's the one that we want.

But do not discourage our young comrades. For after all, if I ever confect the Olbermann Weapon of Mass Sneering Destruction, I'll need someone with really good CPR skills for the poor comrades who weaponize the Olbermann head.

Comrades,

It is nice to know we have a fellow who can certify which comrades are dead, undead, or merely receiving spread pelf. Oh, and for those comrades deserving of something better than a bullet to the head, a progressive able to redistribute euthanasia will be deserving of the Order of Pernicious Caring.

But no matter what else is said, doctor, let me in sincerity quote the Australians: "Good on ya!"

Tovarich, do I detect you, with your "Pernicious Caring," infringing on my Impaling for the Common Good™? And it's unanimous, you know, and I alone decree it to be unanimous.

I caution you, dear Comrade, not to take on caring and compassion for I've done C-n-C up one side and down the other. I am the best at caring. And impaling. Because I care.

Ah. Caring. Such fond memories...

Well, off to Saturday's impalements on the south 40. These are people who suggested that there was election fraud and we know there is never election fraud. When a Progressive wins.

I appreciate your concern, comrades, but through the wise encouragement of my fellow progressives I have come to understand that my previous wishes for fewer taxes and regulations on myself and other citizens were not because I believed that was best for the country, but because I was being selfish.  Now that I have identified that misguided belief in economic freedom I am fully satisfied with whatever plans my one true messiah may have for me, my business, my patients, and my family.

One thing my greedy heart still regrets is that I have been living in an apartment with my wife for nearly 10 years throughout school and opening a business.  If only I had known that every American had a right to a house and a free mortgage I could've been living in my government's gentle embrace rather than paying my outmoded currency units to my greedy capitalist landlords.

Er, Commie Pinko, you don't get that perk. Because you've worked hard all of your life, all that book learning, lab work, and residency. All that work means that you are disqualified from getting freebies and qualified for having all your money taken.

If you want to be a good progressive, you need commit a serious malpractice, claim it was chemically induced, go into rehab (think Kennedy), make a tearful confession about your change, go back into rehab, and then spend your time working with the poor while you loot the poor box.

Da. Truly after viewing that I thought to present a Turkey to the new Poor but felt that a lowly Homegrown Garden Variety Turkey would be insufficient. I shall work harder and toil more with the shovel so that next Turkey Day I can purchase a large Butterball Turkey with all the trimmings for their consumption. To be delivered by a Mercedes Van. I am also thinking that the American Voter and the Electoral College have already delivered a Turkey. (I know. Right shoulder shovel, Right face. Forward march.)

Comrade Commissar Theocritus,

With the sincerity that only progressives can exude, I pondered awarding Comrade Commie Pinko the Order of Theocritus for just these reasons. However, precedents are made not to be broken like some reactionary's back. My education (and, yes, re-education might solve the following) is that the Order of Lenin was created after his, er, unbeing. Since the Turing test has yet to be passed, you must either be a living being or undead (or, possibly legally dead in multiple counties to vote progressively and alive in another to vote similarly).

Anyway, you posed an existential dilemma so bewildering that I reverted to precedent. There is wisdom, safety, and laudable loyalty in following others. It also saves brain power that can later be used for the Public Good™. Hence the Order of Pernicious Caring, but do consider it inspired by you.

I'm all for looting the poor box and encourage all Comrades to do the same -- but I'm really, really in favor of looting the Lions Club mint boxes which the club raises for "charity".

I'm sure you've seen them around...



The money goes to good causes -- but there is no better cause than ME. ME. ME. Just look at how much money the Royal Oakes, Michigan Lions Club raises through this mint crap:



A gold mine, Comrades! They are raising this much money in Michigan! MICHIGAN! Just imagine how much money they are raising in states not managed by Comrade Granholm!


     $$$$ GIVE TO ME $$$$



You serve while I take. I do it for the Children.

Comrades, I have another confession.  I am also a member (soon to be former member) of this detestable Lions Club in my own backwards-thinking, Rethuglican-voting commune-ity.  What a sham and sheer arrogance that private individuals, organizations, and churches would think that they could do the charitable work that our government does so much better.  I will personally hand out shovels at our next meeting and confiscate all the monies raised through tax-deductable (nay, I say unpatriotic tax avoiding!) donations and I will send it all to the Obama so he can distribute it more equally.

Comrade Tovarich, I am very impressed with your knowledge of the Turing test. But please know that it is a Party secret. You and I know, and now the rest of the party, that if there is something in another room and from its responses you cannot tell if it's human or machine, it passes the Turing Test, and then it might as well be human. But what does that say about Algore? He is in every way the antithesis of the Turing test. He looks like a human, he has fathered children, he bought a boat. He married a dingbat. And Larry King talks to him, along with other pieces of furniture. But Algore does not pass the Turing test.

The Turing test is entirely too difficult a test for party members.

Until we move from one-tape Turing machines to two-tape Turing machines. Now one of those might fool the public.

Meow, poor, dear Meow. I'm so glad to see you back from what must have been a classic bender. My rheumy eyes fill with tears to think that just a few short years ago you would have snapped your fingers at the theft of a few thousand dollars. "Theocritus," you said at the Rancho after our Many Titted Empress had passed out, again, "I'm feeling so blue. Once I would have stolen a blind man's pencils, and the cup too, but ever since I started stealing votes in Florida nothing will ever bee the same. It's the dopamine, Theocritus, the dopamine."

Meow, dear Meow. It's time to enter rehab. You simply cannot have every day the rush that you had stealing the election in Florida, or trying to. You simply cannot have the rush that you had working for ACORN in Ohio. And there is will never be another rush like that trillion dollars of bad mortgages that you had a hand in. Never, Meow, never. That was more than the cost of WWII. Do you think that disasters like that grow on trees?

It's so sad to see you exulting over a measly few thousand dollars. Come to the Rancho, Meow, and relax. And while you're here I'll help you take care of your business. Just so you won't have to worry.

It'll be for the best, you know. For the best.

...Bruno. Bruno! Get the roofies ready. Meow's going to spill his guts or he won't have fingernails...

Commie Pinko, I wouldn't be too hasty to diss the Lions' Club. Every organization can become progressive. In 1993 the US Chamber of Commerce decided it loved Hillarycare. Two days after the election the NFIB, which purports to support small business, sponsored, with the greedy geezers at AARP, an idolatrous commercial about the Chosen One, which ended with a granny crying on the Chosen One's breast, and shrimping him.

There is so much to be said for the Lions' Club for any organization which is not progressive is putatively progressive and all it needs is subterfuge. Ask the shade of Henry Ford. McArthur. Conservatives whose foundation directors saw the light and became hard left. Ask Walter Annenburg, whose money the Chosen One got to give to ACORN to steal elections and make bad mortgages.

So do not ever disparage service organizations. For they can be bent because the left has plenty of will and the right has a life.

A measly few thousand dollars is a few thousand dollars I don't have, Theocritus. Screwing over corporations, banks and whole governments is not that exciting. It isn't as exciting as screwing over the little guy -- the mom and pop stores, the private charitable groups, churches and just everyday suckers who may come into my company.

Why hurt the sharks in the boardroom who rape and pillage when I can hurt the little guy just trying to get by, or the charity organization that truly has good intentions when it comes to helping people? I rather kick small business than big business, Theocritus. I rather stick it to the little bastard who thinks he is going to make an impact or one day become successful. I want to take the American dream away from these people, Theocritus, and it starts at the local level!

Regulation will choke the big guys and I'll read it in the paper. But spitting in the face of the little guy after you swindle him and take him for everything he's got -- not to mention have the local authorities close him down for violations -- is absolutely priceless.

I. Love. My. Job.

Oh, Meow, Meow. I get it. I get it now. That's why you're a chairman and I'm merely a Commissar, albeit the commissar for impaling for the common good.

I take your point. If you tax everything and regulate everything, then you can destroy all charitable impulses. You can curdle the milk of human kindness. Why be decent to your fellow man when it costs so much and the regulators will shut you down for doing it?

But there's only one thing. There are so many little guys, Meow, so very many. I know that it makes it difficult for you to stand without embarrassment to strangle one of the little guys, but round the corner there is another one. I have tried, Meow, to kill off decent impulses but there are just too many decent people. How will we proceed in goose-step into the Progressive World of Next Tuesday until all decent people are sniveling, angry, scowling, hate-filled Party Members? Except of course when we're happy making big puppy-dog eyes at the Obamessiah while we pick the scabs from our knees, unused to kneeling.

So I do appreciate your role in stamping out, bit by bit, all the good impulses in mankind. But I shall continue my efforts to poison the soil, like Ellsworth Toohey, to make sure that decent people can't grow and if they do you get to stamp on them.

And then you'll be happy, and I'll be happy.

Because No. One. Else. Is.

God I love being a progressive.

You said it, comrade!

Comrades,

(progressivism off)
Regarding the Lions Club and similar organizations, as an angry wise-a$$ progressive teen, I used to ridicule such groups, even though I occasionally dropped coins in their donation boxes or bought mints or chiclets. The cover of the Dead Kennedys album Frankenchrist and lyrics combined to create ignorance and disdain for Shriners in particular. Then one day at my job as post-gustatory equipment sanitation engineer (or "dishwasher"), I ridiculed the Shriners before a college student whose father happened to be a Shriner. Without any sign of irritation, he explained some things the Shriners do, like donate money to hospitals and sick children. I felt like such a boor. It was a learning moment, one was step along my path to reactionary thought.
(progressivism on)

The Lions, Elks, and their ilk should be banned, for the State is omniscient and über-caring.

In Japan, when Lions' Club members meet to do things like pick up trash on weekends, they reportedly replace "-san" with "-lion," so you might hear someone say, "Good work, Suzuki-lion!" instead of "Good work, Suzuki-san!"

To be one, ask one.

Help me comrades!  It is with horrible guilt that I inform you that The One’s BFF has located a list of party traitors and I am on that list!  Yes Mr. Bill Ayers has recently found his list of 25 million people unwilling to accept communism that need to be exterminated post haste (he left it on the coffee table next to Hillary’s rose law firm billing records) I have been notified that he has informed Cocaine Osama of my treason and intends to notify the FBI and INS shortly after the Obamastration takes over!  I was officially notified on FBI letterhead stating that the shoot on sight policy of the Clinton administration WILL return’s with Cocaine Osama!  I must seek refuge from the Obamanation until I can prove my loyally to the party.  I have a foolproof plan:

1.     Hide temporarily in a ear muff manufacturing plant.  (Cocaine Osama’s
                ears are so large that he avoids any place that focuses on normal size
                ears!)
2.     Hire ACORN to recruit 1000 new members into the Communist Party.
                (This will undoubtedly solidify my loyalty to Cocaine Osama)
3.     Register all the new illegal immigrants (oh sorry they are foreign
                nationals now) to welfare to prove my allegiance to the welfare state.

This glorious plan will make me at least a ear (A Big Huge Ear) for the new administration in Chicago.  I must go now comrades, my neighbors are getting interviewed by the Obama Truth Squad and I must hide.

Doppleganger?

Professional courtesy da? Or shall we say Progressive Courtesy™?

Too many decent people Commissar? From where do you come to this conclusion? Clearly we have much work to do together. Lets take a simple example, people can be easily broken down into loyal Party members and those who are not party members. Clearly one can hardly call a non-party prole a "decent people." They are mere cogs in the machine. Conversely, show me a "decent" Party member, and I will show you ThoughtCrime™.

On a similar vein, I need to get something off my chest. Yesterday I turned 371 dog years in age. The question that has bothered me is this. On the one paw, I feel like I have been an abysmal failure for not having sired any shovel bearers for the Party, much less any offspring to pass on my Party privileges and wisdom to. On the other paw, my failure to produce offspring has contributed in the fight to prevent global warming, and all the other ills that oxygen consumers inflict on the planet. Should I be denounced or what?

You should be held up as a shining example for not contributing to Global Warming, then summarily shot for failure to contribute to the continued existence of the Glorious Party. That way you can serve as two examples and cut down on the need for one more. Efficient and conservative Party oriented.
We will now paws to consider the ramifications of all this.

On the other paw, while fretting on how the Party may judge my failure in finding a suitable mating unit in my 371 dog years to contribute to the shovel brigades, I may well have had a paw in turning one or two comrades of the female persuasion to discover their lesbian side, and that surly would be a mark in my favor. It is even possible, though not likely, that I may have passed on minor STD's in my more nefarious past....no, guess not, you have to actually have sex with a partner to do that right?

Speaking of crimes against the state, I am on the verge of charging the Chairman. for I am nearly certain it was he who posted an image so wide that I must slide back and forth to read posts. I would charge him, but lets face it, the Chairman is a walking scandal wherever his lecherous hands can be found.

Comrade Guardian of Pravda,

An excellent solution that harkens back to dear Stalin: "No man, no problem."

Yet may I query as to where and when the execution will be summarily conducted? I assume post delivery (after the green crime has been completed) but before handling the new Party members that might become tainted. In the waiting room might be a good choice, for others will be there as well, which will provide an exceptional opportunity for a group education session, an opportunity not to be missed.

Comrade Pupovich,
It is of course nothing personal in my recommendation. It's only for your and the Party's own good that I make this recommendation.

Well thank Lenin someone finally got some use out of my Lenin smiley (is funny no?.. he's not smiling... )... and in respect of Pinkie's Obama Matryoshka dolls and now that I've got PS loaded on the 'AirBook', I think it's time I dug out the old tablet and stylus and did us a big-eared, wide-grinned toothy smiley... as long as I keep the hair short and leave out the freckles, he shouldn't look too much like Alfred E. Neuman, though "What, Me Worry?" might be a good slogan along with "Yes We Can".. and then finish the Hillary smiley I started last year before I got sick, now that she's Queen of the World... it will be interesting to try the tablet in the 'Airbook'... I hope those asshats at Wacom have fixed the proximity problem they were having with their Mac software... we shall find out tomorrow after I go to my eye doctor and see whether or not I've gotten rid of this eye inflammation... it will be so good to see clearly again...

First, Pupovich, congratulations on your birthday. But second, you ought to be ashamed for your continuing use of the resources of Goddess Gaia. For do you not know that you have less right to the bounty of the earth than does the furbish lousewort? Or the Concho River snail darter? For after all, everyone knows that catfish food is more important than a human being.

Sigh. Pup, do you really want another denunciation? I mean, after so many isn't it sort of like rolling on your back, paws in the air, waiting for your soft underbelly to be scratched? You have sailed through so many of them it's like the Clintonistas practicing how to fool a polygraph, you know. We know you can do a denunciation.

Now as to whether you can survive a night in the same bedroom with our MTE when she's drunk on Virgin's Blood...

I laughed so hard that I had to spend five minutes cleaning the monitor--not easy task for unemployed-failed-community-organizer.

Comrade CtGM,

You are not unemployed, comrade: you are unexploited and thus free to rap or, better yet, be subsidized to rap, dawg!

Of course Comrade Tovarich, I do not take this as a personal assault from you on one who is more equal. Pay no attention to my entering your response into my database. But perhaps. you should have waited to see what Commissar Theocritus had to say,,,,patience Comrade, patience. This is critical in order to survive and prosper in the Party, that is of course when patience is not a virtue and one best jump in feet first. The trick of course is to be able to discern which time it is. Sadly, you failed this time as you can see below....

Ah Commissar, you know me all too well. Perhaps I was just seeing what sort of contribution I might receive for my 371st birthday. Er.. perhaps we could hold off on the evening with the MTE, she will be busy after all preparing for her new job, cleansing up the Bill, perhaps even finding some one who will take him in when she must go overseas.

Enuf exploitation! Lay off all us turkeys! Where's our workchickmen's comp???

That's quite a bit of puppy chow to consume, comrade.  How many carbon footprints you must have made running from dognest to bowl I don't even want to consider.



I think you should denounce yourself and thus prove an example to the community in three ways:
1. sired no contributions to global environment warming change wtf: order of the Algore pristine planet concernedness
2. denounced self for not creating new party members: order of the true party patriot
2. shot for violating party rules and peeing on the carpet: order of the bullet through the pate for the good of the party.

That ought to about cover it and your legacy will be great (until the next purge when your photo will be expunged and every record of your existence wiped from the collective memory.  Ah, good times! good times!)

Great Lenin's Hairy Ghost!  I've got to remember to sign in next time.  This is me; I am the fellow from Porlock.

This is an eggselent question Dear Commissar. Just what is he the Chairman? Is this perhaps some Frank Sinatra like nickname such as "Chariman of the Board," or what. After all Dear Commissar, we know where our talents lie, what broad responsibilities we have For the Common Good™, but this Chairman? Why. he still clings hopelessly to the MTE, a mere figurehead. Why, the MTE falls far below Nancy even in the order of Succession. Even Robert Byrd is above the former Empress. Hell, she can't even be considered the first black Sec of State! Now far be it from me to be one to point these things out about the Chairman in some tawdry effort to gain his ill gotten powers. I will not denounce the Chairman, nor do I want my paw prints found on the knife in his back.... no siree, no prints whatsoever!

Comrades, I must say I am most disappointed in the responses I have seen from most of you It seems most are too blinded by the beet and fail to see the unauthorized private potato patch. Basically you have taken the 2 reasons I gave for why I may or may not deserve "correction" and found me guilty of both. At least one of you had the good taste to charge me with a crime I did not commit, peeing on the rug. Needless to say, the Good Commissar Theocritus cut to the chase and recognized the futility of trying to denounce me again, after all the previous trials and even my own self denunciation. No one even bothered to consider my possibly leading some former women into a more progressive lesbial lifestyle after being wih me.

No, what I came to respond was to point out that no one even came close to a most salient point, that being, "Did the Party see fit for me to sire off spring?" This bourgeois notion that most of you no doubt still harbor, that you will continue to have the right to choose your mate, or choose if you are to have children or how many, is no longer yours to choose. This is a most salient point for the World of Next Tuesday,

As you can see, I did not reach the ripe old age (and believe me, I am ripe) of 371 dog years nor survived multiple show trials, without filling myself with progressive wisdom, and believe me, I am full of it, ask any one.

I Chair the state Party here in the People's Socialist Commonwealth of Virginia where I am close enough to Washington to pull the necessary strings to keep myself rich, fat and happy. I also have a healthy pool of Washington Gubmint apparatchiks in Northern Virginia to manipulate which in turn garners me vast amounts of government resources. These resources translate into favors which ultimately gives me enough power to muscle any and all apparatchiks including the national Party Chairman. I'm a very good Kleptocrat.


I'm a bigger whore than Sinatra.



My responsibility is making sure everyone else does my responsibilities for me while I delegate responsibility to other people in an effort to make myself look important and powerful.

I also make sure that no one -- and I mean NO ONE -- is capable of doing my responsibilities to the fullest so that my responsibility will always be my responsibility alone to pass onto those who I deem fit to carry out my responsibilites. I of course take the credit if and when they do a good job and then demote them for some fabricated failure so that I won't have to worry about them rising in the ranks too quickly. I value my job security.



I cling to anyone with money and power. Hillary had money and power. Hillary doesn't have money or power anymore -- she doesn't even control the Party anymore. If you read her latest Purge thread you would see just what I think of Hillary now that she is a lowly cabinet member. I'm sure I'll crawl back to her if and when the Messiah falls from grace -- I did mention I was a whore, didn't I?

Yes. Several times.

You must make a lot of money at that.

Chairman! How wonderful it is to see your scheming smiling face again. Your explanations are quite thoughtfully expressed and I feel shame if I disturbed your chi in any way, yet grateful to once again collect what fell out of your pockets when you searched my dacha looking for Lenin knows what. Wait a minute.... phew, ok, my Couric head centerpiece is still here. While I am sure you must be a bit out of place with the Hillary so disgraced, I know you must be as close as white on rice to the Obama, for when it comes to money and power, his is the most powerful position that money, lots of money, can buy. No doubt he has a little left over for you to scheme for. Again, if there is anything I can do for you Chairman, you have my number...my phone as well! NOTE to self, Lock up the phone next time.

You can get a head start on the festivities and purchase this lovely Lenin Sucker for your larval units:

Comrades, I can't figure out where to introduce myself here, or where to introduce a new topic.  

But I've been lurking here on  this website of enlightened solidarity for some months, ever since I discovered we were about to elect a dear leader who would show us the way to collectivist glory!  

Not since my youth, when the cherished revolutionary William "Scumbag" Ayers was blowing up government buildings and any hapless bystanders or yellow running dog lackeys nearby (though he is now selling out to the capitalist pigs by claiming it was just "extreme vandalism") have I been this excited!

I can't wait to be issued my shovel!

Which is what brings me to actually register for this board.  I can't tell you how thrilled I am to discover our Dear Leader-to-Be not only has a firm plan to keep us toiling in the roads and fields, but he has actually mentioned my shovel itself!

Here, in His very words, off Drudge:

The president-elect announced on Saturday he would call for the most massive spending on public works since the creation of the interstate highway system a half-century ago. In a word of caution to powerful lawmakers, he said the first priority would be "shovel-ready" projects - those that could create jobs rights away.

"Shovel-ready!"  A tingle runs up my leg!

And how prescient you all were, comrades.

Da. Of course we took the Courses at Lenigrad U. (Shovels were optional then as Hammer and /Sickle was more prevalent)
Once you have seen the light you need only wait for the change that follows.
In the immortal words of Walt Disney. Hi Ho Hi Ho , It's off to work we go.

YO! G!

Welcome to the cube.  Don't let da Chairman see that yo gots a wallet.

I'm 'pressed that yo gots yo own shovel from My-Man-G-The-One on the cheeps.  I heared that afta MLK day, th' proles gots to pay BIG for th' shovels--change, man.

Catch yo 'round, I gotsa drive-by-biz ta plan--for a bro that is off da entitlement train.  Sukkas never learn--once ya take th' man's hand-out bag, yo is hooked fo life on entitlements.  Is bad, man.

My courses were all at Stalingrad Technical Federated University.  Ah, yes, good ol' STFU.  Why our fight song alone crossed every boundary of decency (not to mention being utterly unsingable).



This is part of the Genocide fraternity at STFU; they are a small, but very influential fraternity indeed!

There was a Griffball team called STFU.  They kicked ass.

I want a gravity hammer.

It will just weigh you down man.

The guy standing taller than anyone else is a spy. He is from the Mother Ship.
I thought the Genocide Frat colors were Red, Black and Blue.

Those are their dress colors.  Here they are wearing their casual rally for annihilation of lesser races and coffee house colors.

Welcome to the Collective Comrade Coco. You will be issued a shovel by the guard upon arrival at the Karl Marx Re-Education Center following delousing. I can feel the Collective force is strong in you and you will be put to good use building the World of Next Tuesday.

This is what happens when I see this kind of crap. . .

Maybe these will warm your cockles, Comrade Elliott:

Welcome to Ojamas Sleepwear
Sleep soundly and awake to a brand new day for America in Obama Pajamas, Ojamas! Ojamas are two-piece sets featuring the 2-inch campaign logo replica of the President-Elect evenly spaced from top to bottom in an attractive "step and repeat" pattern. Ojamas are great for holiday gift-giving (and receiving), election celebration parties, and don't forget inauguration eve and morning! When you're watching the 44th President-Elect of the United States take the oath of office in January, you'll want to be wrapped in the soft warmth of genuine Ojamas. Ojamas have become instant collectibles. Don't wait until Christmas eve or inauguration day to get yours.

Aren't these the official uniforms of inmates in the Karl Marx Treatment Center/Gulag?
Or was that more a candy-stripey kind of thing?

Okay, that guest is me, again.  What a knucklehead.  Maybe that should be my new title, "Minister Knucklehead"!

You always need to look to see if you're logged in.  That happens sometimes.  Fortunately I always seem to notice and fix it at the last minute.

I logged in and it refused to accept it. Tried about 6 or 7 times then said the hell with it. This site had a problem over about a one week period.

Are your union dues paid up to date?

Thank you Commissarka, that actually makes me feel better.

(off)

The real question Comrade is why do you get logged out when you leave? Hmmmm? I never have to log back in to be recognized by the sentry. Perhaps we need to investigate your security clearance Comrade, and you know that will cost.....

That's probably because you have the "Remember Me" box checked and never clear out your cookies.

As usual, you are almost on top of it Premier. I do clear out my cookies, however, as a more equal would do, I have trusted cookies marked so they are not cleared with the rubbish.

You do trust the Party's cookies da?

Comrades,




I too, have had problems recently with logging in.  How do you clear cookies?  And what are trusted cookies?  I do trust the Party's cookies, honestly!  But I am a neophyte when it comes to the Internet.  Did anyone even notice that I don't import videos?  That's because I don't know how.  And I copy and paste everything else.  Sorry to say, I was trained in Microsoft Word programs, but not the Internet.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

If it doesn't use a knife, I'm lost,

Che' Gourmet

Clearing cookies depends on your browser.  In Internet Explorer, it's under the tools menu -> Delete Browsing History.  In Firefox, it's also under Tools -> Clear private data.  Chrome has it located under the wrench icon, and then clear browsing history.  I don't have trusted cookies.  Ever since I entrusted Meow with the... umm... never mind.

And when you say import videos, do you mean the whole putting YouTube videos in your comments?  Because that's pretty easy.  Next to every video is listed the URL and a bunch of HTML stuff.  The lower one is the embed code.  All you have to do is click on it, copy it, and then paste it into your comments.

Comrade Che, there are ways of doing this. You could locate where your cookies are stored, then find cookies that have PeoplesCube.com in the title, and change their properties so that they are hidden from deleting.

Or... I recommend you download this free program CCleaner. It does a great, quick job cleaning up your computer of non-needed temp files, but it also offers an easy way to look at those cookies you want to keep and save them from being deleted. I do this with a lot of trusted sites since I get tired of entering passwords etc. I have used this free program for years and am thoroughly pleased with it.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Che Gourmet, I know just as much (or as little) as you.  I've never done a You Tube either.  And you can use all the one-syllable words, crudely drawn stick figures, hand puppets, and Schoolhouse Rock-style cartoons you want to try and explain to me, but I still don't understand what the cookies are all about except I think they're baked by Big Brother.    

Betty, thanks for the explanation about clearing them.  I have Internet Explorer and did just what you suggested.  Also cleared the browsing history which made me go "Oops!" and led me on a wild ride to restore some important URL's I use umpteen times every day (like access to one of my e-mail accounts).

Commissarka, that is why you should save some cookies, though I am not sure how you lost URL's you use so often, why don't you have them Bookmarked? That way they would still be available to you. :Like I say, I find life a lot easier to save bookmarks from trusted sites. You can usually tell by their name. Oh, and that clearing the cookies in IE or Firefox doesn't rid your computer of the thousands of other temp files etc. That is why you should always clean them at least once a month. The CCleaner program I suggested earlier will do that for you as well. and it is easy to mark cookies to keep, and it also has a program removal tool. Actually, all this can be done without the program if you know where to go, but it is easier, and even faster than the built in version.

To my trusted comrades,

Gracias for the info.  I'm sure that I store more useless information than I need to.
I shall try all of your suggestions.  If I don't return......then I'm off to cyberspace and you will have to get Laika to hone in on my signal.  Gee...almost like an adventure....now where is that tools button again????

to grand adventures,

Che' Gourmet

PS Marshal, is the CCleaner program free, or do you get a kickback?...LOL...just kidding

Pupovich, some things I do have bookmarked (like the Cube), others like the e-mail were stored in the browser, which wasn't too cluttered.  Certain places, like the Mime's funny pages, I won't bookmark or put in the browser--I either go there via Cube links or type it into the search box because I don't want to see the Mime's ugly URL every time I open the browser (inefficient, I know, but call it one of my O/C quirks.)

And I think I'm starting to get a sense of what's with the cookies--all the sites that usually come with personalized greetings--"Hi, Pinkie!" "Welcome, Pinkie!" "If you're not Pinkie, click here!"--I see none of those greetings now.  Upon clearing the cookies last night, I seem to have become a non-person.

Exactly Commissarla. without those cookies, the sites you go to often will not recognize who you are or what your preferences are at their site. Grant it, 99% of the cookies that are sent to you should be wiped out regularly. In fact, you can set your browser to delete them every time you close out though I am not sure how good a job it does. But I don't want to remember every password I might use to have access to some site, or have to log in each and every time, so I try to identify those cookies I need, and "hide" them from being deleted. Most of the time you can tell by the name, some are not so easy, In those cases, I will clean out my cookies, then go straight to the site I go to often and trust, and see what cookies then show up. Even then you will see cookies for places that site may have ads for etc, but generally you can figure out what ones are needed for that site's use. BTW. sometimes a trusted site may have several cookies, and I protect all of them from being cleaned.

do not understand
