The Investor
-Don’t know why you pay me. Never take my advice. It’s past time to start looking at some long-range...
-Hey! Bing Bang Boom! Short-range only! In and out!
-Just a little long-range helps the country.
-Since when did you acquire a fuckin conscience? Leave that to the Teachers’ Union Pension Fund. Long-range is like just about everything else in this country: submitting to anal rape. Financially by CEOs, laydown boards,
leeching politicians.
-Which party most closely fits your philosophy?
-Both when I grease them. Neither when I don’t. Then again, they’re long range propositions too, aren’t they?

Anti War Moment
-You got three quarters of the people against this war and you can’t really get a push against these immoral, lying bastards.
-Not enough hatred on the ground.
-But Bush and Cheney make Nixon look like a girlscout.
-Watch that imagery! Richard not 21st Century GOP.

-They’re simply not our Jews.

The Discussion
-Remember when we had that wonderful discussion?
-The wine was good.
-Agreed. And I complained that the traitors wanted to impeach the president
and vice president...?
-And they didn’t stop there!
-All that talk about lying us into war, and abridging one’s rights, and violating the Constitution.
-Rhetoric. Music.
-But that’s not what you said then. You...intellectualized it. You said...
-That it was all too abstract for me. What of it?
-Well, I’m afraid it just started being a good deal more concrete. For you.
-Just talk! It was...!
-Well, you’ll soon have some facts to tie it into.

BEBs
Proud to say I’m a BEB! Funny how it started. We held a minstrel
show and one of the black-faced characters was Bomb Everybody Bob.
And before you rear up on your PC gelding, our actual Negro laughed his
ass off!
Then the acronym transmuted to “Bomb Everybody Boys.” We have
a weekly breakfast on Thursday. Hey, Thursday was drink and
drug yourself blind on most campuses. Except for the assholes
who studied. What every happened to them anyway?
Always looking for members but be cautioned. We consider
Mainstream Republicans Communists, and Democrats traitors.
Iran is next to bomb. No secret. After that we lust again! I wouldn’t
rule anyplace out in the long run, even Chicago.
Just kidding. We’re always laughing, unlike the pussies condemning us.

Coalescence, Not
All my research and reading doesn’t really coalesce.
Call it the fog of self.
Oh you can pretend it does. “Fake it before you make it,”
often describes the process.
Nobody ever makes it. It’s courageous to talk from practically
nothing–for some. For others, just the usual bs.
And all that’s not a secret, not really.

Side Effects
MC
Well, for the speaker who needed no introduction I know I went
on an unconscionably long time, but without further adieu...and, by the
way, I hear those comments, and do have a conscience! (laughter)
SPEAKER
Well, I don’t know that I can attest to that! (increased laughter)
But one thing that strikes me this lovely afternoon is...(much burping,
farting) Oh I am so sorry. You know from TV that side effects can
include gas and vomit....and even death! Please excuse me...I hit the
nearest bathroom and remedy...please ex...(flees)
SPEAKER
Well. How to think on your feet, right? I feel it best to just go on
with your desserts and get refills on the coffee, until our honored speaker...
(Ten minutes later) Uh, could I have your attention? I sent our young superstar to see that he’s all right. Voila! He has returned and here’s some face-time
for him. Though it may well be the first little shove out the door for me!
(mock cheer)
YOUNG MAN
I realize I’m not a physician, but I think he’s dead!
MC
Recording Secretary will record those words exactly. Now I’ll appoint a committee of three to confirm. One of the members will be a woman, so I hope there’s no false modesty. When their report comes in, I’ll probably call our CEO and then 911. Proud to say I trained in this company! First death on the can presents no unsurmountable problem.

Toying
CHINESE 1
Well...we’ve been caught.
CHINESE 2
One digs in his heels and admits nothing.
CHINESE 1
The Capitalist Model in America is a wonderful one indeed!
CHINESE 2
But a baby! We have an honorable and ancient history of cheating and bribes.
CHINESE 1
As the strange Negroes on American TV say, “I’ll drink to that!”
CHINESE 2
Their nation is corrupt in racial and sexual ways, and yet they point fingers.
CHINESE 1
We have the self-righteous here also.
CHINESE 2
But they don’t add to their hypocrisy by murder. Oh excuse me, wars to
spread their laughable “democracy.”
CHINESE 1
But as Confucius says, “Forgive those who pay on time.”

Setting the Future
I was privileged to be invited, even though in an offhand way.
The meeting took place at the Greenbrier, those sub rooms sealed
away from the atomic warfare which had never arrived.
Topic: HOW TO RULE AS REPUBLICANS
The first speaker announced that we have two goals:
A) Waging continuous war
B) Enriching our friends
I stood up then, enshrining my quiet name. “I have no objection,
except to say we must reverse those priorities.”
It’s all hard-surface down there and the applause very
nearly burst my eardrums.

-I can’t get over the image of you under it!
-But...this one won’t surprise.
-World War Two surplus from Lou’s Army and Navy Store?
-My helmet for the coming Race Wars.
-Is that Christ-like?
-Not the impotent wimp in the garden, no, but my commander, wrapped
in bandoliers!
-I’m speechless!
-Then I won’t recruit you. We’re looking for folks to stand up at PTAs!

PRIVATIZATION
-We did it! Rid ourselves of the bureaucrats. It’s all yours now!
-Cost enough.
-It’ll be worth it, and, of course, the lovely machine‘ll keep
chug-chuggin’ and oil the party. Win-win!
-We gotta make a buck first.
-What could be easier? But the big thing is stay out of the media.
Rule One is Don’t get caught! If the other side can get an oversight
toe in there...?
-We’ll take care of it.

-Which part? It‘s a fuckin, how you say?, cornucopia!
-I’m sending three boys to Blackwater in Iraq.
-Won’t get hired. Criminal Records.
-Funny thing happened at Central Police. Some stuff mysteriously lost!
Isn’t it the weirdest shit?
-Who could imagine?

Dealing In the Army
-Odd conversation to have in a war zone, but I’m tasked to find out about
your re-enlistment plans. Hell of a cash bonus out there now!
-Save your breath, I’m going with Blackwater. Like, almost ten times the salary
and no chickenshit!
-I’m sorry to hear of your projected walk on the wild side. But where will they be when you’re coming round to retirement?
-Right here. Iraq is Forever!
-I mean pension and...
-Hey! I just buy an annuity with about one fifth of my salary. Better than the dinky one the army gives.
-I’m really shocked! You are so Army!
-No fuckin longer! And speaking of cash bonuses, got one in my back pocket
for you to come onboard!
-You representing them now?
-I’ve done a bit of work.
-That’s not legal.
-Let’s not be too literal. Except in THIS !
-Wow! How much is that?
-We won’t bother counting.

GOP Operatives, Again
-This is a quiet room. Say whatever you want and in any style.
-I do that anyway.
-The question on the table is: How can we further lift the obscenely rich?
-Fuck ‘em!
-Have you gone over to the Dark Side?
-Slash their taxes and they kick back a percentage that’s less than they give
the waiter at their club! And they’re stiffing him too.
-What do you suggest? “Here’s your tax cut and we’d like it back!” ?
-That and more! We enrich them and they screw us!
-Give is a repugnant verb. Republican, not.
-And you’re funny. Not! We’ve showered these obnoxious pricks with bushel baskets of money, and now the Dems lead us in fund raising.
-That is a serious problem. Okay, what’ll we do?
-One-on-ones where we talk turkey.
-These are the hardest, toughest people in the world. That won’t move ‘em.
-Then just a hint how we’re sidetracking certain investigations?
-Blackmail, is it?
-Three quarters of these fuckers should be in prison anyway!
-That’s your fraction is it? Well, you’ve always been conservative.

-What do you suggest? “Here’s your tax cut and we’d like it back!” ?
-That and more! We enrich them and they screw us!
-Give is a repugnant verb. Republican, not.
-And you’re funny. Not! We’ve showered these obnoxious pricks with bushel baskets of money, and now the Dems lead us in fund raising.
-That is a serious problem. Okay, what’ll we do?
-One-on-ones where we talk turkey.
-These are the hardest, toughest people in the world. That won’t move ‘em.
-Then just a hint how we’re sidetracking certain investigations?
-Blackmail, is it?
-Three quarters of these fuckers should be in prison anyway!
-That’s your fraction is it? Well, you’ve always been conservative.

The Witness
-Well, I’m not sure it’s a clean choice. I mean really random.
-Oh they hacked the computers at first, the way they once did
with elections. We have them perfect now. Thus, you were
chosen randomly and honestly. I’m afraid you’re it.
-I could refuse.
-Not advisable.
-All my friends know I’m against. I haven’t been shy.
-Makes no difference. You’re an American citizen. You’ll represent us all
at this particular torture.
-Card says B197 type.
-Oooo! That’s the nastiest!
-It’s all so horrible!
-Can be. Look, why make a big deal? You just have to witness.
You’re behind glass and the sounds are piped in.
-Can the victim see me?
-They make sure he can. You’re Decency.
-He? Meaning it can’t be a woman.
-There are a few. The fellows get a bigger charge out of them, really.
-I’m so ashamed to think of it. It’ll make me complicit!
-You’re already that.

USA 2500 AD
-The children like to blow other children up.
-Which was fine when it was virtual. Now it’s the real thing!
-Oh well, there’s such a surplus! I mean how many do we need
to manufacture the suppositories to stick up our ass, and
those other necessities?
-You do have a vision. Answer: practically none. Robots handle about everything.
-There you go! So let our children have their fun. It kills two birds
with one stone.

ISLAMOFASCISM IN DEEP RIVER
Well first, we don’t get any kind of Great Mufti or anything like that.
Because we’re so small, we’ll get some sort of fanatical youngster.
But, except for the praying, the town’s business will proceed exactly
as before.
The frequency will be a pain in the neck, but most religious people around
here never paid attention before and will do the same. The nonbelievers
will get it from both sides.
Nobody listens to their bellyaching and so nothing changes.
After a while, employers whittle praying down to once a day.
Before long, our “leader” marries one of the Catholic girls, probably
named Bridget. They’ll eventually get so busy with a tribe of squalling
brats, that even the once daily prayer gets forgotten.
Except when the inspectors arrive and we all pretend, life in Deep River
will be the same as it is now.
