Annual May Day Communiqué From Laika:
To the Peasants, Workers, Toiling Laborers, and the Party Privileged!
Greetings from Comrade Zero, The Many Titted Empress and Global Presence, Chairfrau Wasserman “I know nothing, I see nothing” Schultz, Commissar Reid, Sheik bin-Laden, Organizers, Agitators, Launderers, The Islamic Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, Hugo Chavez, Fidel & Raul, our financial overlord, Hu Jintao, and The Most Merciful Kim Jong Il. Please forgive me if I've forgotten anybody, like Nancy Pelosi, who will be airbrushed & photo shopped out of history if the Party™ marks another setback in the House elections like 2010, but which are certainly appreciated in all of our many class struggles with the running chain dogs of Capitalism, especially the evil George W. Bush (pause…crowd shakes fists in required two minutes of hate) and his Gang of Four; Boehner, Ryan, Glenn Beck (hissssss!) and the witch, Sarah Palin! (crowd chants “Burn her! Burn her!)
Today marks the passing of another glorious year in the triumphant march of Progressive Socialism! The Glorious World of Next Tuesday™ which is now ours MUST stay ours. If it is ours to stay, you must be IN. I ask you now Comrades, are you IN? Comrade Bill Clinton once stated
“It depends upon what the meaning of “is” is.” Can I assure you “is” it ours? It is if you're IN. All others must pack one suitcase, dress warmly and report to platform 86 at the train station. There is plenty of room in the GULAG for those who are not IN. (stunned silence as the crowd nervously looks around at each other)
Why IN? Simply because the campaign slogan HOPE consists of 4 alphabetical letters. CHANGE has 6! Scientific study and all the latest polling results show Americans are confused by such big words as Hope & Change in this upcoming election. They actually believed these words had meaning. (crowd snickers with derision) Our inside mole sources in the fascist Republican Party have told us they plan on using foolish phrases like “fiscal responsibility”, “accountability”, and their shop worn “strong defense”. Just what is a “fiscal” anyway? I don't believe I've ever seen a fiscal or know what a fiscal looks like! Neither do the unwashed masses! (much laughter) Just think of how we'll be saving the planet just by being IN….less ink for slogan placards, less calories being burned for thought processes, less thoughtcrimes period. Once and for all, we will save the planet, reducing carbon emissions, simply by making “thought” itself a crime. Less thinkers, less thoughts, less carbon dioxide emissions, problem solved.
Now, who is IN?
(crowd roars “We ARE!”)
Good, very good. I am proud of all of you.
It's been another great year, keep up the good work and enjoy your one and only holiday!
The Hero Space Dog of Socialism,
Laika
