Does watching beasts fight
Remind one that man is still,

Um, an animal?

swift merciless clean

We received an invite a solemn request to come join the forces now fighting Daesh. The head of all Syria, Assad, his name, did ask that we help him to remove the stain that spread from the ruins of Saddam's Iraq that threatens us heathens with steady attack. Not far from our borders these terrorists kill and suckle at hatred's most foul-smelling swill and seek to reduce all that's been free of late under an immoral and strict caliphate. They are not real Muslims defend not their home but rather desire to reduce to bone and rubble and dust all they can't comprehend all that their weak egos does seem to offend. We've learned from the Kurds just what frightens them most and that is a well-armed and feminine host who we've now assembled from our defense forces who will head to battle on foot or on horses. They'll march into battle united as one a thousand proud daughters not one single son they'll bring to the front every ounce of their power and hound and abuse Daesh hour by hour. They'll dig attack-tunnels and show Daesh scum the strength of the wily Grigovian woman and tear out his eyeballs and stab out his liver and be hard death-merchants not tender life-givers. Once they are successful we'll send many more to pound at the caliphate's wall fence and door and mock him by singing bright songs from their youth and teaching him Islam's most enduring truth: that to kill an innocent soul body face is to kill every member of the human race that such evil actions do not go unseen but are met with justice swift merciless clean.

corporations drafted, sent to war

Following Citizens United, a recent decision by the United States Supreme Court that bestowed full person-hood upon the corporations of America, executive boards of the richest and most powerful corporate bodies announced over the weekend that they, as well as their corporate overlords, had received, by mail, Selective Service System (SSS) paperwork. Said Candyce Nymondale, chief spokeswoman for SSS: “A computer selected these names and sent them to another computer that in turn had a robot mail out forms. Mr. Apple, Mr. Amazon, and Mr. GE, as well as the remaining corporations, are expected to pay their taxes, to serve their country, and to go to war, if that should be in the best interest of the American People.”

According to the laws of decency, and in line with the notion that all persons are created equally, corporations (as they are now fully-emancipated human beings) must provide sacrifices equal to or exceeding the sacrifices made by those flesh-and-blood Americans who are fighting and dying in conflicts across the globe. “For too long have these cowards shirked their responsibilities,” President Obama said, to resounding applause, at a rally in Puerto Rico last Sunday. “For too long have we granted these corporations the rights and privileges of full-blown homo sapiens without expecting of them sacrifice of any kind. If these corporations cannot go to war and fight and die in the dusty, rock-strewn hills of Afghanistan, then we shall call upon the members of their executive boards to act as proxies, and to go to war in their stead.”

“Corporations amass great wealth by exploiting their employees' honest labor, by inflating their potential value in the stock-markets, and by wiggling through legal loopholes that allow them to avoid contributing positively to or otherwise being upstanding and productive members of society; they are leeches of the worst sort, profit-driven juggernauts that crush anything they might encounter, the embodiment of moral decay and societal downfall,” said Dr. Thomaz D. Orguzman, a corporate sociologist who also holds a degree in corporate anthropology, while negotiating a phalanx of reporters in order to enter his small but tidy home outside Wichita, Kansas. “They (corporations) are already structured and run as if they were military organizations, so requiring them to do their part in the Global War on Terror seems to me, if nothing else, logical.” Calls to chief executive officers of major American corporations were routed invariably to tense-sounding legal departments run by foreign-born individuals located anywhere but on U.S. soil.

on a new preamble

  As the citizens of America already suffer daily of the effects of the corporation-oriented, profit-at-all-cost form of capitalism that currently rules their country, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution shall from now on read:

  We who control the most wealthy and powerful organizations in the history of mankind, we the all-powerful Corporate Executives, in order to silence Dissent, sidestep Justice, appropriate for ourselves the wealth of the Commons, and secure for Ourselves and Our offspring alone the Blessings of Liberty, do declare that the federal government is to us financial life-raft, attack-dog, and sniveling underling, that rules and laws do not apply to us (and if they were to, that we have the money to buy a way out of trouble), and that we shall not give up our privileges without a fight (which we would win, since we have the money to bury a motherfucker like you ten times over).
