Start the Revolution Without Me

We won’t be getting the Oscars tonight because our cable company Cablevision and ABC/Disney are too busy having a pissing war to show it. ABC has been off the air here as of midnight this morning, unlikely to be back in time for Oscar.

    This is what this country has become with the laissez faire Republican/conservative/teabag/douchebag Ayn Randers having control of it for 8 years and now screaming socialism at every sensible suggestion. Business firsters. All the corporate leaders in this country have turned into a bunch of Marie Antoinettes. Remember that scene in Being John Malkovich with all the little Malkoviches all over the place? It’s just like that. Put all the corporate presidents, VPs and CEOs into a room together and they’d all sit there in their testosterone-drenched suits with Marie Antoinette heads chattering away “free enterprise... free enterprise... free enterprise.” Causing me to wonder — is Marie’s head still hanging on that pike? Or did they have to remove it to make room for all the other heads?
