What the Towel Boy Heard
-Got Supreme Court in my pocket.
-Oh come on,______! You have influence, as I do. But we’re talking about a sophisticated mix of lobbyists, politicians, movers and shakers, Party bosses, Money, newspapers, TV, opinion leaders, Law, internet, the Constitution, historical ideas–-why even puny old John Q! All that’s in the air!
Court tries to steer clear of much of it but...
-Yeah, sophisticated.

Right Education Philosophy
-We want to destroy public education because it's a failure!
-Stick with that! But it's a mixed bag. Handsome success
in communities with some money.
-But the others?
-Producing sordid little units. That's where we take over.
Because that’s where the humongous profits are!
-From poor districts?
-Mais oui! Hire idealistic kids from college, pay peanuts,
give them a bushwah lesson structure purporting to spit forth
sharp little citizens...
-But really manufacturing the same sordid little units.
-You can't shine shit.
-Then why bother?
-Because privatization is the golden goose everywhere.
Education is by light years the very plumpest one!
My mouth waters!
-I...still worry about the future.
-Nonsense! You make money you buy the future!
What could be simpler?

-How about a small medical bldg in a postcard American town?
Doctors, dentists, maybe a daycare on the first floor.
You can listen to the tykes while getting your teeth cleaned.
Delightful!
-I want you to buy two elections.
-So, filth as opposed to the laughter of children?
-The winners won't be ungrateful. Besides we
have to hedge against legislation regulating
your less Norman Rockwellian enterprises.
-Life proves complicated.
-You stack the deck before they stack it against you.

Bottom Lines
"I've gone through all the junk fees and, surprisingly,
many are legitimate.
Some, mysterious! Resubmittance Regulatory Charge
Per Legislative Act as an example. But for 348.27, well,
you can't fuss over peanuts on a 500,000 mortgage--
Worldly Accountant’s Rule.
As to your overall suspicion that the re-financing was really
a screwing? No more than ordinary.
Over the term of fifteen years, you end up saving a little more
than a thousand.
You're gonna give me a thousand, so you end up pennies ahead.

New Mideast Rule
-This new government--revolutionary they claim, though many
of the same toe-cheese eaters seem to be in power--threatens
us directly! No more bribes! Giving or taking.
-We’ve balanced the two. An aesthetic to delight in!
-But execution is now promised! This is no longer play!
-Already bought us out of that possibility. Indeed, any enforcement at all. It proved quite inexpensive.
-But unfortunately not so for God’s poor,
who will be indicted post haste.
-The more things change...
