Bulletins from Konsciousness Kontrol
By Frank Scott
The USA has lessons to teach the bloody,
repressive, fanatic, murderous, anti-Semitic totalitarian Iranian dictatorship
about real, true democracy. Independent American presidential candidate Ralph
Nader was not allowed to participate in any debates with ruling party
candidates in both the 2004 and 2008 elections, while Iranian president
Ahmadinejad debated no less than three opposition candidates on Iranian TV
during their presidential campaign. See? . . . SEE?

The real criminals
By Pubali Ray Chaudhuri
In these hard economic times, it is crucial that
we hunt down and punish those responsible for the mess we’re in today. Looking
around for culprits, however, I found myself hard put to it. For as we all
know, the American Way of capitalism, profiteering and imperialism is a
fundamentally sound one. So we can forget about pointing at Wall Street, Big
Oil, and the military-industrial complex, which represent the sacred apogee of
our great capitalist system and as such are above reproach.

Just say no (to medical marijuana in NH): An open letter to Gov. Lynch
By Carmen Yarrusso
Once again, left-wing extremists are trying to
get New Hampshire to join liberal druggie states like California, Maine and
Vermont to allow so-called “sick” people to grow and possess marijuana for
medical purposes. Should the NH Senate pass HB 648 (already passed by the NH
House), I urge you to veto this outrageous bill ASAP.

Barack Obama was determined that the only way

Nation rearing the old fashion way
By R. Peter Valentine
Hi, I am Mr. Archie
Isrolie Bunker, but you can call me Isrolie. Here is my story. I can’t
understand my meat-headed step-children -- all 12 of them. They are demanding
their own independence from me, citing all kinds of ‘regulations’ and ‘rights’
and other wild notions. Hammy is the worst, a true case of independent
thinking. Anyway I don’t know about these ‘rights’ but I do know the kids are
all over 18, so it is time for them to stop behaving badly. I will acquiesce to
their demands and teach them a lesson at the same time.

Meditation upon a broomstick (an allusion to Jonathan Swift)
By Eric Walberg
With the insufferable increase in “security”
measures at airports, I’ve come to dread air travel, though, in this day and
age, we simply cannot do without it, so I make do. Still, could someone please
tell me why a transit passenger at Charles de Gaulle airport must go through
the humiliating experience of removing his shoes and having a guard stick a
hand down his trousers, when this was all very diligently done in Toronto just
hours earlier? And heaven forbid you shows even the slightlest soupcon of
irritability, lest the attack dogs jump on you, delighted to latch on to a
potential terrorist.

The rocket’s red glare may be Chinese
By Walter Brasch
Wearing a pith helmet and brandishing a blunderbuss,
Marshbaum burst into my office and ordered me to the floor. I looked at my faux
friend and media foil, about to ask him what his latest scheme was. With
Marshbaum, who was fed “Honeymooners” episodes by IV when he was a child,
everything is a scheme to make money. But, in the fraction of time I had before
he yelled for me to get under my desk and cover my head, I quickly determined
he was serious.

Galactic Government
By Jeff Zervas
These
days it seems, almost everyone wants to nurse at the breast of big government.
Even “right wingers,” “conservatives,” and Republicans have devolved so far
towards socialism that they crave their security blankets just as their
“opposites” cry for the nipple. Either way, nowadays big government is on the
menu, front, back, up, down, right, left and center.
