Be Afraid, Very Afraid (Picasner at large Goes Mainstream Media)

Thanks to Michele Bachman for letting us know that the east coast earthquake and hurrricane Irene that devastated a large part of northern New York and most of Vermont are the Grand Old Deity's punishment for the federal budget. Thomas Jefferson once opined that George Washington's mind was not much bothered by "invention and imagination". Certainly can't say the same about Michele.

Switters says that the inertia of the masses and the corruption of the manipulators will require nothing short of a miracle to ensure the continuation of our species on an increasingly sick planet. It's nothing short of a miracle that any sentient being would do anything to place Michele, or Mitt, or Governor Rick Goodhair Perry in a position of authority.

And while were on the subject of heavenly wrath, that might explain the Yankees' pitching rotation that has Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnet starting two out of three games in Boston. Sinners and Yankees repent!

And while were on the subject of Switters, it's football season... "a ritual parody of the primate territorial imperative, complete with nonlethal but often painful violence, colored at its margins with decidedly sexual overtones, and fouled by the stink of commerce".

No doubt, early homo sapiens mated with Neanderthals.
