Creatively Exhausted

Saturday, 25 ForeLithe, 2005

This parody stuff is hard - it's hard work*. But we wanted to point out that, even though we haven't anything much in the way of creativity in action going on right at the moment, we have managed to notice that Blogathon 2005 has been officially announced to be on August 6th. Mark it on your calendars and get ready to pony up a few sheckels for the Frank Zappa Memorial Fund at the American Library Association in a couple of months. Fun and prizes will be available for the wily and the hardy at the discretion of Your Humble Narrator.

* - except for the Golden Age Of Political Comedy that we've been enjoying (cough) for just about, well, ever, do'cha know. But the last hundred plus years or so has been a little rough, and the Repugnicants have really honed their perfection of the political art** in the last fifty or so. The Tax-A$$ Souffle and the Million Whore Horde make that all too easy, especially when you consider that they're pretty much the best of a sorry lot, globally speaking... why can't we all just get along?***

** - props (cough) where props are due. If you want to be able to openly and brazenly lie as well as install Orwellian control mechanism in society, well, it seems that it is now well within the purvey of a significant number of senators and congressweasels, as it has been with the Executive and the Upper Judiciary since we stopped having legal elections at the turn of the Millennium in certain areas that were not used to the concept yet. Do you think we could perhaps have some international monitors for US elections one of these times again? You know, the way we insist that everyone else has? Somehow the smell of hypocrisy inherent in the Repugnicant condition these days should be wafted into the air filtration systems of those who generate it.

*** - we're thinking something about by the people, for the people and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and/or other words to that effect.

Any theories upon these subjects would be critically appreciated...
