Margaret, I salute you again. But the price? Only $29.95? That's okay if it's party members' money but if someone else pays for it, and that's <i>always</i> the way we do things, then it ought to be at least 100 times that. For after all, where's the fun in sticking someone only about $30? He oughta know it hurts. That's the part that makes me squirm in my seat with pleasure like Katie Couric talking about Bill Clinton. I believe I heard a definite wet sound back then.

I hate to say something disrespectful about the Goracle, whom I don't intend to quit using for a moment, don't think that, but Algore really is on the wrong track. His various stealth taxes. The phone tax, the other taxes, a nickel here, a dime there, people can sigh and think, "Well, I can stand that."

Hear and believe. If someone says, <b>"I can stand that"</b> and not feel utterly fucked, then we haven't gone far enough. He's gotta BREAK, goddamn it. How many times do I have to tell you all these things?

He's gotta break!

Your cat Carbon Neutral, only $8.00 AUD!

"Cats are really just small dogs, they purr instead of bark, and they also fart but far more elegantly. Cats also need to be offset for their contribution to global warming, even though its relatively small. For $8 you can offset their food, trips to the vet and their flatulence. Let your cat have a guilt free year.

You'll receive a gift card and certificate confirming the greenhouse gas pollution reduction on your pet's behalf, and a Carbon Neutral Cat sticker to affix to your cat's feeding bowl"

You're right. $29.95 isn't enough. Just look at how little you get for $1000.00 from EMILY's list:

They sent me some literature and wanted to sell me this junk but I wrote back and told them it seems pretty high priced. What do they take me for?

EMILY's list

But, the initial $29.95 for Pet Carbon Credits is deceiving. The thing about Pet Carbon Credits is they only cost $29.95 at the store, but when you take your cute little pet home and open the box, it demands that you feed it money. Lots of money. Pet Carbon Credits only eat money. And every day your Pet Carbon Credit grows bigger and bigger! Soon it towers over you. And pity the poor fool that runs out of money to feed his Pet Carbon Credit. Do you know what Pet Carbon Credits eat when they can't eat money? One guess.

(I suppose the Pet Carbon Credit box should read something like "Eats your carbon footprint for lunch.")

EMILY's list usually sends a bloody coat hanger if you contribute upward to a 1,000$. Hmm, they most be losing valuable $$$ having to offer all those...eck... "trinkets". That's a shame... I guess sucking humyn parasites out of your tummy is no longer fashionable these days.

In response to the new pet rock, "Feed me Seymour!".

If you give EMILY's list $10,000.00 they send you a change purse made out of the scrotum of one of the husbands of its party members. Which is fine by the husband for after all, why does he need balls? His wife has all the balls needed in the family, and they're brass to boot.

A fool who is incapable of managing her own affairs and who will let bossy people avenge her against the world, and doubly foolish for not realizing that it's all about them.

Sales are brisk in Rostock, Germany.

With our new marketing campaign "Save the Planet Twice" protesters can hurl their Carbon Offset Pet Rocks at the G8 summit.

Plus by "freeing" your Pet Rock you make PETR happy because nobody should own "pets".

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

This just in. The very concept of pet rocks is a diabolical conspiracy by petrochemical companies to soften your mind to the sound of "petro" in its various combinations. As we all know, a positive association between petrocks and petrochemicals may be detrimental to the cause of class struggle, envy, and exposing Big Oil as the epitome of capitalist immorality.

I wonder, Margaret, if it was not your sneaky uncle $.$. Halliburton who slipped you this little box in order to poison your pure innocent mind, along with our minds, with this insidious scheme.

PETR is not People for Ethical Treatment of Rocks! It's Pernicious Exploiters of Terrestrial Resources - an offshoot of Halliburton corporation!

Please make a note of it, Margaret. Consider it a warning shot - a big favor to you since the Party generally disapproves of such bourgeois niceties as warning shots.

Oh my!

Quick everyone! Grab your shovels and bury the pet rocks before they infiltrate your mind and force you to pay for gasoline! Oh my Darwin! The rocks have infiltrated my mind with alien pyschotronic mind control devices from the planet Walardmarto....... OH MAH DARWIN!!!! Walardmarto sounds like Wal-Mart! AHHHH!!! Someone quarantine me before I infect you with bourgeois propaganda!!!!!!!!! THE CHILDREN! SOMEONE HIDE THE CHILDREN! <falls to ground in a seizure><soils pants>

*WHANG!* (sound of the chairman's head being hit by a shovel)

We'll bury him with the rest of the rocks. He's the one who suggested a quarantine....

OWWWWW! Why the Detriot did you do that for!? *WHANG!* Owwwwww, dammit! STOP IT! *WHANG!* GAWD DAMMIT! I SAID STOP IT! I'M A DEMOCRAT DAMMIT! I DON'T HAVE A FREAKIN' BRAIN TO KNOCK UNCONSCIOUS!

When I said quarantine I was talking about sending me on a luxury cruise or something... not burying me alive (which is unprogressive by the way, only superstitous knuckle-draggers bury their dead). If anything you should hang me in the village square so that the locals can poke me and throw things at me while I writher and dangle from a rope.

Okay, hanging it is.

*YANK*

Bury their dead? Heavens, no. Don't you have the newest cookbook of Our Many Titted Empress, <i>Six Billions Ways to Serve Humanity</i>? A-1 Sauce figures in it, and it is edited by Idi Amin.
