Animal Crackers & Crackups
"I
think it is dangerous to confuse the idea of democracy with
elections. Just because you have elections doesn't mean you
are a democracy...I'm
still taken aback at the extent of indoctrination and propaganda
in the United States. It is as if people there are being reared
in a sort of altered reality, like broiler chickens or pigs
in a pen."
Indian novelist Arundhati Roy

The American electorate
is a dumb cow that follows the herd, is easily stampeded, gets
milked for all she's worth and produces offspring for meat,
muscle or cannon fodder to benefit the few. When all used up,
she is sent to the slaughterhouse so that she may give her overlords
the last full measure of devotion, bones for Jello and hide
for belts. No stars and stripes for her grave because she doesn't
merit one, having been totally consumed by our consumptive system.

USPS
announces move of Reno mail-processing operations to California despite
opposition
By Mark Robison / RGJ.com 4-23-2024
Thank
you, Defendant T-Rump. Your postmaster general Rasputin DeJoyless
is doing one helluva job. So what's next, moving up the assassination
date to kill voting by mail this November? Whassamatta with Biden's
new appointees to the Postal Service Board of Governors?
Fire the sumbitch, already.
The
Confederacy is finally crumbling > United Auto Workers
score landslide win election at Tennessee Volkswagen plant.
A majority of eligible workers cast ballots in favor of the
union, with the final tally on Friday at 2,628 to 985, or
73% for joining the UAW. The landslide win will make the Chattanooga
factory the first auto plant in the South to unionize via
election since the 1940s and the first foreign-owned auto
plant in the South to do so.
