What do WalMart, BestBuy, Procter & Gamble, and Travelocity have in common? Come to think of it, too much – forget I asked. But there is one thing I’d like for them and their likes to continue doing, and that’s pulling advertising money out from propaganda aired on FoxNews. (If this dream turns reality, FoxNews as a whole will go off air and the stupefied Under 50IQ Paranoiacs-R-Us will be left to wonder the streets, thus increasing their chances of getting killed by a speeding vehicle.)

Reports suggest that the list of companies requesting their advertisements not be part of Glenn Beck’s Duckspeak has now reached 20. (Source: The Huffington Post)

Even God is pleased; using angels’ blood He signed a self-imposed Cease to Kill Kittens, normally executed by the Almighty at a 1:1 ratio for each act of human masturbation. (Since the Reforms of ‘79, acts of ape and chimp masturbation do not result in kitten executions. Ever since, humans have tried and failed to work out a similar deal with God, leaving many to feel shame and guilt over simply being human.)

The cease is valid on all days a new company pulls its advertising from FoxNews, a gesture which outraged the Mice Consortium, but to which the K9 Units responded with an enthusiastic wag of the tail.

How are you, GI Joe? It seems to me that most of you are poorly informed about the going of the war, to say nothing about a correct explanation of your presence over here. Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what’s going on.

Six years after Michael Brown was ushered into high ranks by G.W.Bush, Janet Napolitano is the Secretary of Homeland Security. Appointed by Barack Obama, she’s off to a smashing start.

Her main job is keeping the terrorists out from USA, but nearly a hundred days into her job she still doesn’t know where and how terrorists enter America. In her CBC interview, she’s clearly under the misimpression that at least some of the 9/11 hijackers entered the US from Canada. In turn, Napolitano is busy building up a border between the northern and southern part of the continent, spending pallets of money in all the wrong places. And, like with a bad prescription, something real is going untreated or is at best benefiting from a placebo effect – a very expensive placebo that can cause “dizziness, vomiting and edginess towards minority ethnic groups few know anything about, but most have a definite opinion on.”

But really, those of us who made it this far have learned to survive on placebo. Or even better, just not going to the doctor at all. Misdiagnosis, after misdiagnosis, we had to adjust or die trying.

Getting back to Napolitano, I’m not fully convinced that the ignorance she’s demonstrated is genuine. Her linking of Canada to 9/11 is bound to stick in the minds of many, securing the resources to build up the US / Canada border for any number of ulterior and less popular motives. All this with the added benefit of fear mongering and shock therapy that tends to lead every two legged sheep to ask “how high” when told to jump in the name of security.
