The ANUS

[Tab]

"America's New Usurping Society"

Not all that new, like a cancer, it's been growing for many years (probably 30 in this case), but it really represents the asshole of America.

Unfortunately, until recently (meaning - newly elected President), all the world saw of America was the anus.

Brains process. Mouths ingest. Noses inhale. Anuses just excrete. Rush Limbaugh is a huge anus of America. There are many lesser ones.

I suspect he revels in being an anus of America, but he's doing his host body no favors. Or maybe he is - he is excreting the stuff no one wants to retain, except that, unlike more modest people, he wants others to smell his shit and revel in it.

America is not perfect. It's a work in progress. Even when I was growing up (Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford) mistakes were a-plenty. GWB took it to the extreme, and the sad part is that Americans were so disillusioned at that point that they went along with it.

Ultimately they woke up. They had to see the house tumbling down around them, but at least they woke up.

Let us not go back there again.

Let us learn from our mistakes.

Are we smart enough to do so?

I think we're smart enough to do so, but what worries me is our attention span. How quickly will we forget?

1. Uh oh....ya gotta watch it when you start making fun of the anus, or denigrating it.

That old joke comes to mind...

Who's the Boss???

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the boss.

The brain said, "Since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be the boss."

The feet said, "Since I transport the body where it wants to go, and carry out the orders of the brain, then I should be the boss."

The hands said, "Since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be the boss."

And so it went with the eyes, the heart, the lungs, and all the other parts of the body, each giving the reason why they should be the boss.

Finally, the asshole spoke up and said it was going to be the boss--end of discussion.

All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of the asshole being the boss. The asshole got so angry he said "I'll show YOU!" and he blocked himself off and refused to function.

Soon the brain was feverish and could barely think, the feet felt like lead weights and became too weak to drag the body anywhere, the eyes grew bleary, and the hands hung useless at the sides.

All pleaded with the brain to let the asshole be declared the boss.

And so it happened; all the other parts did all the work and the asshole just bossed and passed out a lot of crap.

The Lessons of this Tale:

***You don't have to be a brain to be a boss, just a tight, miserable asshole.

***No matter how well things are going, it can all be shut down by a single asshole.

4. I had forgotten about that one

An old piece of Xeroxlore (photocopied things passed around at the office - now we use email), but still a classic.

Along the lines of the one that says "Jesus loves you" in big letters on the front.

But you open it and it says "Everyone else thinks you're an asshole".
