Think I’m Just Happy

Remember when a Homeland Security threat level mauve, or so, would send millions of us scrambling for our safe rooms of plastic sheeting, duct tape and energy bars?  Of course we don’t.

On K Street, Wall Street and at the Pentagon, they call this phenomenon: ‘the people are idiots‘.

This is why Japan’s nuclear fallout that may, or may not be heading your way, is probably the ‘most harmless‘ dirty bomb you’ve encountered, since your last trip through a TSA body scan for freedom.

President Obama, when he’s not busy lying to his daughters about why he tortures Americans, or kills brown-skinned humans for profit and glory, is readying the next round of making things better for corporate Homelandia…but not you.

The war on drugs and the humans who use them, has not made enough money for the private prison corporations.  They need a new revenue source and law enforcement has to “justify” it’s federal payday.  So logic tells us, that you dorks, geeks and free loaders who are streaming movies and music, are next.  The Obama White House want’s to make “illegal streaming” a felony, because they’re running out of Spanish speaking humans to incarcerate.

They think we’re dumb…but maybe we’re just happy? 

The Obama wars on Islam, are not making enough money for the private war profiteering corporations.  Boeing, Bechtel and Lockheed Martin are screaming in Obama’s left ear, while Robert Gates is on a tall ladder, screaming in Obama’s other left ear.  They need a new source of revenue, because Iraq, Pakistan and Vietghanistan are becoming troublesome.   Libya, you’re next.

I think we are happy, in a touched sort of way.

‘There is are’ no money for schools, but there are trillions for bankers, wars and the next 17 generations of the iPad.  Teachers, unions and books are the new red menace.  Obama backers fret about the Teabanger, while the Teabanger frets about condoms, job stealing Mexicans and Hawaiian birth certificates.

The Bush back door draft for the never-ending wars on everything, has become the Obama economic draft, for the never-ending wars on whatever else remains.

Marijuana is at least as evil as the Taliban and the disaster in Japan, will cost far less than one years worth of fun for the Pentagon.

Dumb doesn’t quite embrace the totality of our self-enforced complacency.
