A Message From The American Corporate Plutocracy--THANKS!!!
Thank you for your attention. We return you now to your previously scheduled anti-depressant commercial and to the rest of the countless advertisements and programs on this and any of the other 154 stations we have generously created for your endless diversion, brainwashing, marketing, and indoctrination.

Great Rant:


"It is we who pushed him to the margins of the all-powerful media system we own and manage in your interest - and ours."

"We've already voted John Edwards off the presidential version of 'American Idol'" - so you don't have to.

"We've winnowed the presidential field to four (4) officially elect-able and corporate-friendly candidates and the election is more than ten months away!"

"It's all about he hidden primary of the rich and powerful operating behind the scenes, in the hidden corridors of power under the benevolent reign of Empire and Inequality, Inc. We are the Simon Cowells of American presidential politics. We love it and you should too."

"We do it for you, to save you the effort and heartbreak of 'democracy,' for which you lack the time, skill, energy, and resources."

"Take note, would-be critics of our caring rule! The spectrum of permissible debate grows narrower with each quadrennial election extravaganza we stage."

"Do not misunderstand us, American subjects. John Edwards was no radical threat to the corporate system we have crafted in response to our need for spectacular wealth and your inability to construct a better social order. Edwards said repeatedly that be believed in what he called 'a market economy' - what we and you should understand as a heavily state-managed system of private profit and class rule."
