L'etat c'est stupide

Greetings all. The Congo was most exciting, but I must say I am glad to be back in a civilized country, where penises are safe and the shop shelves are stocked with a least 3 varieties of cashews, a true mark of advancement. If only those superstitious Congolese would embrace the realism and practicality of you Americans! Too imbued with the hocus pocus are they, and not clear eyed enough to look past the fanciful, and embrace the hard measures their country needs.

Why I dare say I am astonishingly pleased to see the way in which the oft derided average American can still support his leader, even after the country is grievously attacked on his watch, and his response is to sit idly before a room full of children with a look of stunned fear. Some romantics long for an Alexander, or a George Washington, but those reckless leaders of men have the annoying habit of charging into battles themselves, exposing their bodies and souls for the good of their countrymen, and risking death in the process.

And how did Alexander fare? Buggered and poisoned. And of that impetuous and rabble rousing Washington? He had wooden teeth and a penchant for chopping down delightful cherry trees. Is that what you want from a president?

How pleasant to see that in a nation of 300 million one man was chosen to lead, a man with the moral courage and foresight to continue his strenuous regimen of relaxation and golf, even while failing to capture the man responsible for the single greatest attack his country has ever suffered. Did he quaver and give in to pressure to work? Heavens no, why I dare say he did not alter his routine one bit! And that is the hallmark of a true gentleman of leisure. No matter what calamity life might throw your way, tea remains at 4, always find time for your favorite whore, and may your golf clubs remain ever by your side.

Let the common man waste his life riding around in a vehicle waiting to be blown up on some dusty foreign street! True leaders have greater things to do. Does the pursuit and accumulation of wealth cease during a time of war? Of course not! How admirable to see Bush and his coterie of confidants not let a wayward invasion and a sinking economy stand in the way of their reaping great fortunes. Truly they possess all the qualities of greatness, and I commend the slack jawed Cheetos eating yokels who voted for them, not once, but twice.

Although labeled dumb, which they very well may be, and in fact are, they enjoyed two momentary flashes of intelligence which allowed them to put their own insignificant self interests aside, and put into power the elite, who can then do as Jehovah intended, namely, read scripture, hunt, golf, and manipulate the world and the millions of hapless people who stand in the way of their agenda of amassing power and fortune. I hereby put forth the motion that all the millions of unwashed and pathetic little people who are not blown up or reduced to utter destitution, be given a parade, or a plaque of some sort, commemorating their heroic decision to vote into power the great assemblage of leisure loving wealthy men who prosper while they drown, who lounge while they perish.

Let the stupid toil tirelessly 40 hours a week! Let them look up to their betters in Washington, and hope that one day, in heaven perhaps, they too can spend their days idling, sending others off to die, and smirking in the glory of their awesomeness.
