A Day In The Life: The Theocratic Corporate States Of America
I was late for work today.

After my morning prayers were verified by the precinct priest, I stopped by the corner news vendor for a copy of The Daily Directive - I sure didn't want to be caught without the day's Presidential Edicts on hand. As I was waiting for the CoalBus, the group I was with, was called on to Witness the trial and Just Stoning of a suspected lesbian. The arresting priest kindly demanded our obedience, and we all complied, giving Thanks to God and our glorious Leader for the gift of seeing the wicked exposed, and duly punished. Praise God.

I humbly explained my tardiness to the Corporate supervisor, and he righteously docked me two days pay and re-assigned me to the casket room. I am thankful to the supervisor for giving me the gift of humility. Praise God.

As a dutiful employee (and parishioner of my country), I joined the others during the day's meal period to read through today's Presidential Edicts. I was gladdened to see that President Bush (long may he rule in God's name) finally disbanded the Congress (they deserved it, after trying to debate the 32nd Amendment). After all, everyone knows God told our eternal President that repealing the Bill of Rights was our best defense against the Godless terrorists and wicked homosexuals. And, to be fair, Congress did pass the last two Amendments as ordered by Holy Justice Alito and Holy Supreme Justice Roberts. And Governor-General Gonzolaz has decreed the banning to be fully within our Holy Leader's divine stricture. Who needs a Congress anyway, when our Corporations do a better job of representing us, as was intended by the Founding Shareholders? Congress was just a waste of divine resources, better put to fighting the terrorists, homosexuals, and liberals. Praise God.

Speaking of liberals, we caught one in our section today. I was finishing up the frame of a very nice casket for a Crusader who died in Massachusetts fighting against terrorists, when the man next to me commented about what a "waste" it was to send our young men and women off to die. Luckily, the monitors were on their toes, and before I could even straighten up to inform the shift supervisor he was swarmed by Corporate priests, who performed a quick exorcism to cleanse him of blasphemous thoughts, which thankfully, ended his life. Praise God.

It has been about ten years now, since our President was ordered by God to retain his holy office, and as a faithful American, I couldn't be happier. I used to miss my children, but their service in the munitions factory takes precedence over a parent's love, and I am proud of them - their section always turns a profit. Praise God.

Tomorrow is my mother's Final Conversion. I have been ordered to attend by the precinct priest. She might have been granted another five years, had she a skill of any use to the Corporation in charge of our county, but school teachers are not profitable, and at 60, she is merely a useless pensioner, a drain on the sacred balance sheet. I am thankful that her body will provide at least heat energy to the munitions factory where her grandchildren work. I only hope when my Final Conversion comes, the Corporation will find my body so useful - perhaps I'll even be chosen as an Organ Donor. Who knows? Maybe my kidneys or liver will go to extend the life of a Divine CEO. Dear Lord and President, I pray I might be so blessed. Praise God.

The Holy, Corporate Body of which we are so blessed to be mere cogs and grains of sands within. May you be subsidized well in your Final Conversion and may Spirit of Holy Taxes smile upon your dutiful sacrifice for our Great, Christo-Corporate Empire!

I am so excited by today's Divine Edict in the Daily Directive. Have you read it yet? The one that talks about the Communion Chip? Praise be our own Benevolent Bush, (as you may have read we don't need to use the God or Christ words anymore, amen!) for this great, new initiative that He invented himself on our spiritually safe, sanitary, cInternet 3.

The Holy Communion Initiative will bring us to the Windfall of the Promised Land. We will no longer be able to sin against ourselves and the Lord when this comes to our servile, waiting hearts as We The Servants will rejoice and celebrate with consuming greater rations in honor of it.

The Chip will allow our Heavenly inspired overseers to control us all as they please, and we know how very MUCH we can trust them. No more more will our hearts be heavy with concerns about our own potential to sin against the Divine State of their Union. We will be blissful players in a spiritual video game as long as our wretched bodies, (if only we had better genes, like the new generation) hold out.

All praise Bush and the Council of Beneficent Corporatocracy. Great thanks to the wonderful Masters of Truth at the Theocratic Oversight Board.

Like you, I need to be forgiven for overstepping my Individual Expression Allotment of words and paragraphs this month. But praise, be, I am glad to give up the rations in order to celebrate the great things our New World Order brings to everyone, and across the entire globe! Bless our millions of troops! Their rightous blood is a holy sacrament upon any ground, sacred or profane.

I could turn myself and my family in as state fuel right now, I am so excited.

Praise Be! Protection to the Holy One in the Divine Office!!! May His reign be forever. Amen.

5. It could come to pass.
Nothing seems far fetched anymore. I would have never thought we would be where we are today.
