Have A Good Day, Fearless Leader!


Maybe they’ll realize your financial expertise costs too much and earns less than dumb index funds
I hope other clients find a simple legal form on the web & save $1500 avoiding your phony services
May they back out of that big deal after discovering your greedy omissions concerning the property
With a little luck they’ll uncover another extramarital affair and finally be able to get you voted out

It could be today that the IRS ends the faith-based con with which you finance your opulent lifestyle
I ask your god that a security camera catch you lustily fondling yet another frightened new choirboy
I can only hope that one of your over-ambitious underlings will rat out your corporate connivance
It’d be so bad if more email proving you knew everything & you lied got leaked by some geeky minion

It’d be nice to hear that your spoiled kid was arrested for drugs again - despite your TV editorializing
Was cheered hearing the tale of how your son rear-ended an SUV while texting his vapid little friends
Gosh, it’s too bad that they caught you plagiarizing your speeches…but for the third time in a year?
Feel so sad that now you cant avoid the media attention you strove so hard to get, all your pushy life

Like to see another hipster snicker snarkily and walk out on your tiredly-rigged car sales charade
May your mother get into futures trading and your sister buy the funds you created to hedge against
Wish I was there when you finally realize this is The New Normal and not just The Great Recession
So sorry to hear that your vitriolic right-wing rants were the product of your addiction to pain killers

Good luck with embracing diversity through curing gays, expelling illegals and demanding voter IDs
Keep up the planet-saving work to get us all to starve locally, stop driving and not heating our homes
Sorry to hear you corrupted your latest MSProject file right before your 0s0 important status meeting
Too bad your handicapped, gay woman of color boss is just a clueless, tenured but quota-filling bytch

Its very sad that you have to work even though you have such a bad hangover after another Big Game
What a shame they know you were just lying – You did not misspeak AND you were not misunderstood
Glad to hear you lost a suit for botching a golf-hurried, Mommie Makeover that you would not refund
Congratulations on achieving stardom and then turning into a fat, perverted & bankrupt drug addict

Pity that you’re braindead after years making millions smashing into other foopbawl juicers in tights
I fondly imagine you in yer ignorant-loud, jacked-up pickup headed out to where the jobs are -Texas!
Here’s to your coveted 18-49 year olds laughingly dissing your so 20th century attempts to court them
We anxiously await for you 1%ers to pay as high a tax rate as your disappearing middle-class footmen

I’m so sorry your proud ignorance disqualifies you for the good jobs any chinese peasant could handle
It’s such a shame that your loud, apartment cowboy lifestyle pickup got repoed: Right outside the bar
What a good feeling to see that trooper write you up after you blasted past me yelling into yr cell
Wow, so your darling little girl snuck out and got a spike put in her tongue? My heartfelt condolences

EYuck! Cant stand how your once-conceited 17 y/o blond ass turned so fat, wrinkled & sun-damaged
It was a shame that your 11 y/o boy got paralyzed driving your souped-up ATV - without any helmet
It would hurt me to hear that your disability claim was denied even tho you always voted Republican
Hope to be around when your too big to fail finally turns into too costly to bail and you go to jail

The Pursuit Of A Programmed Happiness


All men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights…
Living large on credit cards, speeding by in fancy cars and dressing up like we was like movie stars
Asskissing, backstabbing, shoulderclimbing & downkicking my way to that penthouse office in the sky
It’s like this: a trillion totally selfish & blindly greedy decisions per day optimize our collective future
So it is, in the end truly and most importantly as I must always remember: Only and all just about me

Besides, the free market solves all our problems automagically simply by meeting my vanity demands
So, I only need to go for the gusto, live for today and try to stop & smell the roses along the way
Because Hey! God wants me to prosper: Our mega-church preacher told me so along with 1500 others
Anyways, it does seem that I can only measure my happiness by short-term changes to my net worth

The concerns of others cannot not bind me for I was created to pursue my own individual happiness
Some struggle to save the environment or to solve social problems but I was born to get ahead
And I expect the same from all the corporate entities whose stock is creating my retirement nestegg
I’m not interested in their being socially-responsible either but they must maximize their stock price

Don’t care if it’s coal or dogshit-fired, I just wanna be able to twist that thermostat when I want to
I simply must step over these homeless moochers every day on the way to fulfilling my own destiny
Its like, I have no time to recycle now but when I get really rich I may hire someone to do it for me
I tell ya, my ramtuf hemi pickup makes me feel so gooood when it throws off a smoke cloud real loud

No worry if they fall again for my next investment scam - they can go squeal for another govt bailout
Dont see how this whatever national infrastrcture mess has any bearing on the wishes I need to fulfill
When I want a burger I aint got time ta fuss over that like food animal holocaust suppozedly goin on
But, it is good to know that just keeping to our own wants & needs helps bring us all a better future

So, with stirring patriotic fervor, I strive for new cars, mansions, yachts, servants & a trophy wife
And, staying ahead on these measures assures me that I am winning big on the class warfare front
You see I combine my pursuit of happiness with the socially-Darwinian struggle we must all undertake
And I am grateful to companies that continually bring out new products that spur on my noble pursuit

Luckily, just by fulfilling our implanted marketers dreams we help ensure a brighter future for us all
I don’t get all like neurotic worrying about saving the world - Cause I just need to watch out for me
And yeah, I think my dad died happy…he was talking up his new car just 3 days before he left us
I did have to step on a few faces to get where I am but it was all in joyful, self-centered competition

So, we toast ourselves at fine restaurants and enjoy a fleeting sociopathic sense of self-satisfaction
If it’s new, I want it first. If it’s hot, I want the most expensive. If it’s scarce, I want the most.
And its not just about materialism, crushing the competition on my way up also satisfies me deeply
And don’t forget that my happiness also includes the pursuit of relaxing gasoline-powered recreation

BTW, I’m damn sure that the markets will blindly manage any so-called environmental problems, too
You see, simply by chasing my own implanted needs I really do help to make the world a better place
God bless America and our creator-revealed constitutional right to the pursuit of individual happiness
And, happily, I can look forward to an eternity of vapid wish fulfillment, up there in His paradise

Don’t Worry About These Boring Facts


It’s OK...You can stay fixed solely upon unemployment, GDP, gun control, abortion and your next eGizmo
You needn’t ever ponder upon the fact that each gallon of gas you waste produces 19 pounds of CO2
Not to worry that NASA predicts irreversible collapse and the NSF warns of dire climate changes
Don’t be concerned that 80 thousand acres of rainforest and 135 species disappear, every single day
Your Timmie likely isn’t among the 535k American kids aged 1-5 who has brain-destroying lead levels

Forget about the fact that soil erosion from careless corporate farming costs $37.6 billion per year
That your kids rank 21st out of 23 developed countries in numeracy should not cause you to lose sleep
Its just alarmism when engineers say we must spend $3.6Tr by 2020 on boring infrastructure projects
Just keep ignoring the food animal holocaust that goes on out of sight and enjoy your factory chicken

Keep on watering your lovely bluegrass since that impending water shortage surely wont affect you
You have health insurance at work so you don’t even need to think about how much that care costs
You only have a couple drinks a day so the $223.5 billion yearly toll for alcohol abuse isn’t your issue
So what if 47 million Americans are on food stamps, it’s only like 1 out of 6 of all of us, anyway

You’re barely 10-15 pounds overweight so don’t be fussing over this whatever obesity epidemic
Don’t worry cause you rarely have time to exercise – you’re part of the 80% of us who never do
Should you be concerned just cause we toss 100 billion plastic bags after one use every year? Nah.
Like you should be upset that kids spend more time with tv & smart screens than on all school stuff

The disappearance of monarch butterflies & honey bees cannot possibly have a consequence for you
In terms of your life, the fact that 21% of US adults can’t read at a 5th grade level is quite immaterial
Just cause 97% of wacko climate scientists believe in that Global Warming scam doesn’t make it true
No need to get riled up about a little mercury from those patriotic coal-fired power plants in our fish

Don’t get upset just cause there’s all kinds of drug leftovers in our lakes, rivers and tap water, either
It’s no big deal if 36% of so-called baby-boomers now aged 55 and over have less than $10k saved up
No worries that the 14 million on disability don’t count as unemployed but cost us $260 billion a year
Look, don’t get all riled up just cause it costs $500 to get one stitch for a little cut at New York ERs

The $4-6Tr we will wind up spending on misguided MidEast crusades should not keep you up at night
Don’t stress out just because 1.372 billion people on earth must survive on less than $1 per day
Not to sweat the 22,000 homeless kids in that greatest of all the world cities - New York, NY USA

The 40% of Americans who believe in Creationism do not pose a threat to either you or the nation
Factory fleet overfishing & bycatch kill have no connection with your taste for AllUcanEat seafood
There’s really no need to panic just cause 95% of income gains from 2009-2012 went to that top 1%

Does your 24x7 eConnected family even care that now the design of your eToys has been outsourced?
It’s probably OK that al-Qaeda isn’t almost dead but, in fact, growing from africa across to asia
What do you care if the $19B/yr ivory smuggling business blows away cute Save The Rhino campaigns And, does it really affect your family at all that the US ranks 46th globally in freedom of the press?

Vapidly Miraculous Despoilers

    “We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think that it is forever.” – Carl Sagan
100 trillion living cells in every amazing human body but he’s fixated on beer and next Friday night
Beautiful clouds and unimaginably faroff stars overhead yet shes focuses strictly on how fat she looks
There’s this gentle rain on a velvet night and we just squawk over some vapid reality show or another
That wondrous clotting cascade stops our bleeding, even as we suffocate in a sea of puerile tweets

That bio-electro cardiac miracle sustains us, though we mindlessly clog it with a factory food sludge
A marvel of evolutionary adaptation attending only to his clean pickup, upskirts and getting off work
Billions of neuronal connections process football gangstas in sexy tights smashing into each other
Our most gifted toiling only to create new methods of mass destruction for the inevitable next war

Esteemed and honored legislators blindly minding voter polls as they sales-emote canned soundbites
The Best and Brightest self-reduced to ginning complex but flawed algorithms for greedy bankers
Working and scheming 80 hours a week just to leverage an even more hyper-ostentatious McMansion
The incredible tech that forces long lives of exemplary courage upon those otherwise already dead

That gruesomely fascinating Gulf dead spot the size of Massachusetts at the anus we call NewOrleans
Pondering the incredible high-speed tech that allows us to stream kitty videos in HD - as we drive
The wonder of our 250 cable satellite channels out of which 2 blare 24x7 at nobody, for $200/month
There’s that new hi-tech surgical procedure that added several weeks to Mom’s life for only $196,500

Behold vast, complex conglomerates: Laser-focused on more profitably pushing sugar, fat and salt
As we destroy natural systems making life possible, we obsess over immaterial & petty social issues
Physicists sense 14 billion y/o events as we cling to the faded, dusty frills of long irrelevant religions
Millions of drunken sperm pursue another unwed teen’s miracle egg into multi-generational poverty

Hot wind wastes a momentary rainbow of million year old fossil water over BigAg GMO crop circles
Small brown men with large chainsaws deconstruct the climax rain forest, one ancient tree at a time
Unforeseen and toxic reactions amongst thousands of industrial chemicals occur – Inside our bodies
Meticulous and understated scientific research is satirically dismissed by amoral industry lobbyists

A massively-expensive creative force exists to push 10 mpg Ram Tough Hemis on apartment cowboys
Lawyers spend years mastering legal intricacies merely to act as parasites fighting over injured hosts
The state of the entire planet and its people simplified to poorly-estimated GDP & unemployment %s
The wonderwork of cosmology overshadowed by dusty and archaic religions based upon stale dogmas

Metaphysics ground and chunked into greasy 140 character bites, all of a wet pet food consistency
Spinning with the earth, orbiting the sun around the Milky Way, but dwelling only upon office slights
Adroitly and constantly ignoring the onrushing eternal and infinite void to which we all must return
Happily parroting movie lines, ad jingles and sports stats to each other to cover the terrifying silence

Cloaked in chinese cosmetics and clothes, her carefully died blond life justifies our boys sacrifices
Remote sensing comfort or profit, these marvels of evolutionary success roam the suburban steppes
Rainbow-hued pools of toxic chemicals hypnotize passing children, safe in their mother’s SUV pouch
The vapid tries to smother the wondrous, striving to defy the cosmos: With a loud & proud ignorance

We're Just Cosmic Background Noise


But we act like our bullshit-filled lives have meaning in the universe...
You’ve briefly attained a venal self-awareness for reasons that, as far as you know are simply random
Arose from somewhere out the cosmic background from which emits the hum of the universal mantra
Your confused memories only go back so far - and they wont extend out for very much longer - either
Yes, the infinite buzz will re-envelop you despite your pathetic, childish notions of a biblical paradise

In the meantime just let yourself be filled by ads and stress out over multitasked inconsequentialities
For all your thoughts emerge as tiny, fractal bubbles which quickly disappear in the surrounding void
You briefly pass a window in an endless dark tunnel and are filled with a flash of astonishing light
Not to worry though, all this foolish nonsense will not outlast your eternal, yet totally fictional, soul

Do not fear their quaint notion of a divine post-mortem accountability - It’s only used to control you
Because you will remember nothing even if your grasping and foolish self somehow is reincarnated
So, don’t count on carrying forward any wisdom, thoughts or remembrances even should it happen
Rather, believe whatever you wish about your future, for disappointment does not exist in the void

Use up your time on petty jealousy, foolish hatred and pathetic hobbies - Cuz it just dont matter!
Dump all the litter you want for it will be incinerated during earth’s demise with the end of our sun
Make all the mindless noise you wish for it can never leave the thin atmosphere we have so polluted
Dont bother saving for your future since even the rich and famous share the identical, empty fate

Though you’ve watched many insects die quickly for nothing you always knew your life meant more
Caught frightening glimpses of a vast emptiness when you were not looking… and quickly turned away
So just keep focus on all those costly but meaningless activities that make your children your friends
Your empty consumerism wont have any consequences so go eat, drink and live merrily – all on credit

Always tried hard to act like you were quite sure there’s more to life than the unending, empty grind
You’ve forever left really important stuff for later cause you’re so damn busy and you still have time
But you’ll be so worn out, drugged up and in so much pain you wont even remember any such things
And not to worry: They will be able to get on with their lives after seeing you off, alone- to wherever

Don’t waste time on such as recycling: For the end of our solar system will totally clean things up
Stop and smell the roses, go for the gusto and live for today cause soon you’ll know nothing: Forever!
Sadly, you’ll miss all the rest of those big games, holidays and special sales, all throughout eternity
But don’t you worry, for you will not feel alone, because there is no loneliness in nothing

You look for meaning only because our brains tell us that things simply should make some sense
And passing briefly through this life and simply disappearing with nothing in sight just cannot be right
Yes, though it’s impossible for your to accept a fate of background inconsequentiality, nonetheless...
Your chirping will die out like the crickets in the fall, with only a bit part played…And that will be all

Useless But Self-Serving Movers And Shakers

Take the man in charge of moving Krispy Kreme Doughnuts forward: In its sugar-filled, fat-laden glory
Think of the great challenges facing those climbing the sweet, black and caffeinated ladder at Coke
How do they keep their focus so sharp over at KFC, pushing the Colonels greasy pitch deep into China
Gaze upon that Captain of Industry at the helm of Frito-Lay pimping fat, sugar and salt in cellophane

How about realtors, omitting and misleading both buyers and sellers to their own greedy advantage
Or there’s always the brave Oreo management team struggling for more shelf space at kids eyelevel
Note as TooBigToFail CityBank fights for the freedom to secretly hedge against their very own funds
Observe as Dodge pushes 6 mpg Hemi Rams on not so bright yet proudly-ignorant apartment cowboys

Foreign-owned Budweiser advertises its highly-patriotic, factory-built swill as crisp and refreshing
Ya need to guzzle lotsa milk, given the unsubstantiated health claims and ignore their tortured cows
Don’t forget the $20/lb subsidized sugar and corn Honey Smacks your ad-washed kids just gotta have
Think of the TypeA execs stressing over new colors for the L’Eggs pantyhose smothering your crotch

They work hard over at Aquafina and Dasani to differentiate water for us - Using only labels and ads
Pizza Hut moves forward, shoveling more factory meat and hi-fat cheese sludge into our arteries
Smooth cosmetic surgeons tickle the middle-aged woman’s fancy with overpriced Mommy Makeovers
Admire that army of Big Tobacco lawyers that helped to push cancer sticks so profitably, for so long

Gaze upon this Nike shoe, made in the same asian sweatshop as Walmart’s but sold at 5x the price
Note how clearly they mouth Traditional Family Values™ to hide a fawning obedience to their donors
Consider how it’s our CIA spook’s patriotic duty to pruriently invade all yer privacy - in total secrecy
Think what’s in dog food imported from where they stretched their own baby formula with melamine

Then there’s that Pope, profiting on fear-driven faith with gay garb, tired dogma and stale traditions
Admire Fair and Balanced media, wildly profiting by angrily widening our people’s ideological gap
Enjoy the shit that’s so Lite and All-Natural you can feel good about being poisoned while getting fat
Honor those who provide you with spotty cell service for 200bucksa month in an airtight contract

Ignore that rich sponsors pay to spin you on only such as abortion, gun control and family values
Yes, you can! Believe in their Change - Just like alla them other greasy liars that came before them
Of course the government can’t make you eat broccoli - Even if you are already too ignorant not to
You aint payin fer obamacare but - You are paying for the moochers via your ever-higher premiums

Think of the brilliant chemists at Axe, toiling to get a hipster smell to waft from young, sweaty pits
How about those high paid lobbyists extolling Clean Coal at their expensive legislative-bribe dinners
You got Big Pharma picking and choosing which of their own paid research studies to use on the FDA
Of course Monsanto sues any soybean farmer whose crop happens to get RoundUp Ready, by accident

Look at good old Boeing artfully combining children, soft music and new bombers in institutional ads
Think you could keep a straight face pocketing your hefty bonus on higher sales athem toxic SlimJims
What a grand challenge to build a worse artery clogger than CarlsJR triple beef/bacon/cheese burger
Like us, our Olympic Unis are emblazoned ‘USA‘ on the outside but say Made In China on the inside

Hail The Anthropocene Era

Shortest geologic era on record, marked by a mass extinction due to human activity. AKA the Cretinaceous period.
Our consumer trends create market-driven conditions to which a species must either adapt: Or perish
We even act as if we can decide which life forms will survive based on whether we need or like them
Our micro-plastic litter shards have become an inert part of the food chain in every ocean on earth
And we can all ask in one talkinghead voice: What has any stinkin polarbear ever done for my family?

Our genetically-modified mono-cropped food plants drive evolution in the lifeforms we label as pests
Today, we tacitly agree that a sustainable environment is whatever remains after our latest progress
Industry assures us that we humans are immune from the otherwise toxic effects of their activities
We cannot not be constrained by divisive quarrels over irrelevant history, for we must move forward

The axiom that mere grasping self-interest optimizes everyone’s future anchors our economic beliefs
Clear skies, clean water and intact ecosystems are infinite free goods that must never be regulated
Tough pests and scraggly weeds near our fields are the new normal in plant and animal assemblages
Burying valleys in mountain-top coal mine slag merely emulates natural earthquakes and volcanoes

Dams and clearcuts select the strongest of those decimated salmon in our warmed and silted rivers
Bidding up prices on those few remaining bluefin tuna demonstrates marketplace species protection
Total species count and individual numbers decrease in direct proportion to our population increases
Extending our protection to lands, plants or animals declines with their short-term profit potential

Why, we all help alter the entire earth’s climate daily - simply by using electricity, driving and eating
And we may choose to decry, ignore, disbelieve or honor these efforts based on religion and politics
Many among us would call this era the Saviorscene as all our efforts are, of course, divinely-ordained
Habitat destruction is but one more evolutionary hurdle for the few surviving charismatic megafauna

Like a meteor strike, our population bloom stresses species - beneficially speeding up their evolution
Such as rats, cats, dogs, roaches and bedbugs profit briefly as well during our bubble-like ascendancy
Not only do we mortgage our futures but the slyest among us hedge against our very survival as well
An entitled greed is foremost among those Traditional Family Values™ that underpin our way of life

Any new chemical created may be spread freely until it’s proven to be harmful and explicitly banned
The best measure of human progress is GDP - Not biodiversity, sustainablility or habitat preservation
Modern culture venerates human life even as it destroys the very environment that makes it possible
The only necessary and sufficient condition to ensure our future is the pursuit of individual happiness

The best way to solve non-issues such as climate change is to innovate and profit from their effects
The current mass extinction is not human-caused and is just as natural as any of the previous five
A 3 ton SUV carapace is the ideal way for a human mother to shuttle her offspring about in safety
If Asians work toxic 16 hour shifts and sleep 20 to a room, clearly chickens cannot deserve too much

Blind faith in capitalism and trust in almighty God are our armor and sword in this battle for survival
Industry trade group soundbites are honest counterweights to cooked, elitist bad science research
Industrial self-regulation is the only real way to painlessly meet our Good Steward responsibilities
Know that this wondrous flowering of humanity doesn’t simply yield the seeds of its own destruction
