Ray's Thought for the Day - Gungha Din (RIP)

Another trusty beasty has bit the dust. Thus, Americano global democracy, the corporate state version, has experienced another tiny, temporary setback. Board up the McDonaldsons!, in Rawalpindi.

Yes. How many of US Americanos are waiting to hear what our Kinglet or Queenlet wannabes have to say? Yes. Which Kinglet or Queenlet to be or not to be, is best qualified to handle this sort of temporary setback, down the road?

Uh! Mitt the Mormon handled the Olympics crisis so he is probably best qualified to deal with any temporary setback that comes along, whatever.

Anon, or already, all the wannabes shall or have spake up. Yet only by accident did I detect the words of Mitt. Now, for a few days, I need to make sure to avoid the news, so that I shall thus detect no more. If, by accident, I am in the same room with a TV, I shall turn away, plus cover my ears. I know all I want to know.

As usual, I know nothing factual about Mrs. Bhutto, except that she could afford the air fare to return out of exile to where she belonged. The Americano State Department global democracy crowd approved of that return, hoping Mrs. Bhutto’s presence, where she belongs, would help destabilize the affable dictator, Pervez. Oh well. Perhaps Mrs. Bhutto shall accomplish that goal from the mausoleum.

Some might ask, Why should we give Pervez 10 billion dollars, then destabilize him? Well, as the saying goes, It’s your money, maybe baby. So somebody, among the high and mighty, must have objected to the affable dictator’s bookkeeping.

Historically, in the good old days, when the Americano State Department financed global fascism, all the billions went straight into the pocket of a local despot. Then, the first rule of economics, trickle down, had some of that billions trickling down to the despot’s family, friends, the police and army. That sounds a lot like the exact disposition of the 10 billion Pervez got.

Yes, but now, the Americano State Department global democracy crowd finds itself facing a dichotomy of semi-epic proportions. The dichotomy is thus and thus. On the one hand, historically, propping up local fascist despots works. On the other hand, handing out cash to average miserable Iraqis on street corners is more democratic and lots of fun. Besides. There’s no telling where the money went. So, handing out cash to average miserable Pakistanis might also be more democratic and lots of fun.

The upshot of this dichotomy is, that the Americano State Department global democracy crowd now has not one, but two, methodologies for giving away, I mean disbursing, my money. Miraculously, so far I still have some money left. Praise the Goddess! I can still afford my weekly cinnamon bun.

Aint imperialism, great!
