Herding Enchiladas
Large Political Consultant
-I thought you were done when you predicted
your party’d prevail for the next fifty or
so years. And your vaunted clock got cleaned
in the very next election!
-Hey! You win some, you lose some. And some
are called off because of rain.
-Of Stupidity, rather.
-That too.
-And now here you are, bigger than ever!
-MONEY! I got our important boys and girls
together and explained that’s what it’s
all about! And forget the rest.
-Then, the Supreme Court affirmed your
distinguished thinking.
-They found, in their wisdom, the side their
bread was buttered on.
-And yours?
-Definitely mine.
-Thus, we’re all frantically running in a race
nobody wants to be in.
-Speak for yourself. God made the world.
-Doing you a helluva favor!
-It’s about favors too.
-Tammany Hall, blown up to mega proportions!
-Super Mega!
-A Black Hole! if you ask me. Where the
one-percent of the one-percent buy
elections outright! Like estates or limousines!
-Or politicians? So? Wake up and smell the
greenbacks! Ahhhh!

The Rise of Morons Through Money
-Look at that! Jesus will you freakin look at that!
-I knew you'd be taken with it. You've heard the concept, and
since we believe it so deeply, we wanted to show it in terms
the American Moron could understand.
-Does he speak in just greenbacks, or are there coins mixed in
there somewhere?
-Bills make the point.
-But how did you...?
-Trade secret. We’ve worked on it a good while.
-I...can't make the words out, really.
-What difference does that make? It's the principle. Money is speaking! Therefore money is speech.
-Will he keep it up forever, or do you gather up about a bushel and
stick it up his ass for the process to begin anew?
-Something like that.
-Well, eighth wonder of the world. The man talks out money! Wow!
It keeps spewing and spewing from his mouth! I can’t get over it!
-Intellect solves problems if the smarmy government stays away!
-I'd send a clip of him to the Supreme Court. Sorta back them up.
I mean it sounds ridiculous to say money is speech and vice versa.
Two different things.
-But, observe! Obviously not!
-You keep educating the morons, and one fine day some will make
the Supreme Court.
-That battle has been won.
