Glorious news comrades! Progress is being made on Obama's plan to build a high speed rail system in the pre-apocalyptic USSA.

To further his goal he's tasked our humble collective with providing railway security for the project. Our People's Director, none other than Red Square has taken it upon himself to oversee, equip and train these brave men, recruited from the ranks of the TSA.

Rest assured comrades, there will be no Teabagger sabotage with these guys on the job.

Where do proles ride on new train? Or is this just security vehicle? I see this highly sophisticated machinery was properly made to fall right. Excellent work!

I can see this is a use for the Trabis from East Germany. You know, Germany the way it was meant to be. STASI, and so forth. They had the sexiest cars: cotton batting coated with resin. What glorious engines for our New High Speed Rail.

Of course Made Progs will all have our own Nanski Flights--you know, those dedicated 757s that Our Queen had. I'm told that hers had a walk-in fridge to keep her collagen injections from melting, but you have to be careful.

One time her aide-de-crap forgot the time change in a flight and left her hanging upside down too long in the fridge. That was why she said, "Pass the bill and you'll know what's in it." She couldn't read it herself; her eyes were closed.

I'm sure the Peoples Director will lead his staff admirably
so that no teabagging terrorist gets thru.

Good news Comrades, the Party has discovered some previously unused real estate and put it to good use. We may need more of those railway security forces though.

Oh my Lenin! Is that His Cubeness, our beloved Red Square perched upon the People's™ Velocepede?

As you can see, as far back as 1910 our French comrades foresaw high speed electric trains of the sort Obama wants to saddle us with build. WIN THE FUTURE (with 19th century technology).

Comrade Whoopie,

This picture suspiciously looks like a very early version of "rail-to-interplanetary-flight" named the "Sheila Jackson-Lee". Passengers load up on this train and after it gains the proper momentum, lifts off into outer space towards its destination to Mars.

Could this be the same train?

And who says that govt. is not efficient!

Red Menace, I must say that your avatar is the most frightening here. Even more frightening than the craquelage of Fraulein's dugs. Or my rather vampiric mien.

Castrate, I've been off investigating the inside of the People's Hospital for a trivial thing and the excellent People's Doctors patched me up and only on a bowl of weak borscht. So I've been a bit remiss.

What's your latest wheeze? I see you lurking places, and believe me, I know that your heart's in the right place. Meaning of course that you have no heart. See how that works? I can do it with money too. Watch my hands with the deficit.

And no that makes no sense but Harry Reid is coming to the Rancho and the last time he was here he got upset when natural laws worked. Once I dropped a glass and it broke, and Harry went into shock. He hates reality. So I'm starting early in believing six impossible things before breakfast and listening to Thom Hartman who says that there is no cost to borrowing money because we pay ourselves back.

Back to the point: have you been getting the boot in to any entrepreneur lately? Remember: there is no feeling quite as fine as shutting down someone's dream and making people lose their jobs because they can't guarantee environmental flow in a creek for the Concho River snake.

Or shutting off the water to San Antonio because a minnow which some professor put into a pond 20 years ago wants the water that over a million Texans could use.

Now that's the sort of bureaucratic power that means you'll never need Viagra again.

That must be Detroit! My old neighborhood. Good to see the Caucasians are finally coming back.

I just want to know how you found out about my top secret party minnow exploits!!! Not to worry Father Prog, we have High Speed Rail to concentration kamp plans for Texas too.

You mean that you're the one who turned off the water for San Antonio? That's great! Lots of people got really pissed off, and there was no reason for it, and the minnow was nothing more than catfish bait anyway, so it is just beeyoutiful to inconvenience a million people for catfish bait.

Then we'll get the environmentalists all worked up and marching in serried ranks to defend the catfish bait, and imprison them too. After all, greens are squishy progs. I am a tempered prog, capable of the full concentration-camp press, so there comes a time that the squishy progs go to the wall.

Comrade,

The KKKonservatives can turn the San Antonio water back on ... look what BushHitler did, (or was it Global Warming?).

Comrade Theocritus, mabe i should trade my Kalashnikov for shovel, da? More Korrect.

and the Frau is happy to serve dear Leader (as I see NO ONE else is answering the call to duty!!)

Frau, I'd love to serve in the People's Railway Police. But I've been rather busy testing the next generation of nudie boobie body scanners that will be used to screen passengers before, during and after boarding.

I want to thank all the females in the Party HQ office that have volunteered for these tests, especially you Fraulein. I know how difficult it was for you to squeeze yourself into the scanning booth.

(I understand comrade Theo has volunteered for the thankless job of inspecting the male pouches)

Count me in.

Red Menace, keep your Kalishnikov. The shovel is Pinkie's bit anyway. And there is something very sensuous in the way that you stroke it--a True Prog knows no difference between his guns, you know. Both are an expression of naked will, to a Prog.

No, Whoopie, no, I think that I'll let that one pass.

Let's imagine this scenario. Someone comes in with a name taking three loads of phlegm to pronounce. He looks as though he is a Hilton hotel brand for lice. I'm not reaching down there and groping.

[ off ]Although if I do fly again (I've not flown in a quarter century and not out of fear of flying but out of fear and loathing of people) and get groped, I may have fun being loudly gay and then loudly enjoying the grope. Well, give the bastards payback. Let them get a respectable job.

Comrade Whoopie (and I now know why you were given your name!) and Father Prog, I was humbly proud and happy to serve for the betterment of the collective. This is the least the Gulag Gals can do to help their fellow man (I am sorry I did not know precisely what the "help" was going to be but, it was not the first time I was felt up and abused and will probably not be the last).

Hail Obama!

Yes indeed Frau, I'm quite the prankster, hence my name. by the way, I see you found the snake I left in your locker...

Gulag Gals. I like that, most Estimable Fraulein. We could have Bolshie Boys too. What about a GG and BB mixer?

Bring your own Kalishnikov, and ice ax. Who knows when we'll have to dispatch another Trotsky?

What a delightfully delightful idea, dear father Prog. We Gulag Gals can not have enough Bolshie's . . . . let me rephrase. The more the merrier! Might I suggest another blowout at the Rancho with Red Square supplying all the needed drink beverages? (it's a shame he's busy and unable to attend but I know he wants to do his part)

I have already started working on party invitations. We just need to add the time and date.

What? They have bars in farmer's markets down in Unterland? All we got in our farmer's markets are Amish and Mennonite gals selling scrapple and shoo-fly pie.

Fraulein, I love your invitation. And you are the perfect sylph to welcome people to the Rancho.

Yes, by all means let's have a BB and GG mixer, but do not for any reason tell our Many Titted Empress that we're having such a mixer.

She loves a good mixer. And I love having her, of course. But the problem is the victualing: if you run out of rich, white, virgin, RethugliKKKan blood for her Bloody Marys, she gets quite cross.

Once she was in her cups, and when Bruno told her that we'd run out of her preferred blood, she screamed and leaped on Bruno's back and rode him like a rented mule all around the Rancho. The sight was indescribable.

She's so talented, you know. When I see her read a speech I forget that she's holding things in her trotters. But how do you, with trotters, manage to hold onto the back of a bucking queen?

Once she told me her manual dexterity, or trotter dexterity, was polished when she went to Ecuador and took that course in pocket picking.
