The Dung and the Feckless

During the second term Clinton scandals the public watched government teevee, avid fans of a high-level soap opera, the Hillary and Monica and Bill triangle. No face to face girl fight in the corridors of the White House, but all the entertainment of sex, adultery, lies, potential wreck and ruin, how it began, how would it end, as the world churns.

Phone sex and a blue dress DNA. Where were you when Clinton wagged his finger with "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Millions who participate in fellatio and cunnilingus could now, by presidential definition, claim innocence because it ain't really having sex Joe Bob. And men could tell their other significant other "the girl is … just … here with the pizza."

We'll remember the oft broadcast Clinton and Lewinsky hug, where all the world could see the adoring radiant face, shining eyes, of a girl ecstatic, in love. Little is drearier than a player caught playing and the silly female who thought the relationship would go beyond tabloids to a little house with picket fence; hilariously disgusting, sympathetically pitiful. Tune in tomorrow for the next cliffhanging episode as Hill, Bill, and Moni search for tomorrow and fill the days of our lives.

No Cleopatra and Mark Antony, no King Edward and Ms. Simpson, no Tracey/ Hepburn. Just a sordid soap starring "White House Hillwilly" Clinton and "Chubby Lolita" Lewinsky, tattling and taping by Linda "Shitty Friend" Tripp. And a cast of thousands to sell it, hate it, blame it, laugh, joke, distance themselves from it, debating heads shouting one another down as the wad-shot heard 'round the world became of utmost earthly importance.

But while the public was occupied by the angle and curve of Clinton's penis, debating what a lie is and when a lie is a lie, and what the meaning of 'is' is - what was really going on? What was going on when blewinsky was going down. What were the ruling elite up to as the masses were regaled with news that the rich and famous eat pizza, lie, crotch dive and spit like the rest of us. Were they planning the events and positioning the leaders who would take us into the 21st century? Directing our sideshow as they prepared the 9th month, 11th day in the 1st century of the new millenium? If so, there's a pattern here.

No major sexual scandals of course, because everyone knows republicans kill and eat their mates after mating. No … republican puppets prefer plumbing diversions with leakers and sneaky peter spygates rather than the liberal jock and jaw peckerdillos. Can anyone image Tricky Nixon or Ron and Nancy having toe curling orgasm? Or even "Pickles" and GW? Of course not. No … republican presidents are sexless. (Blame that on republicans presenting themselves as godly and gods do not hump and bump.)

But the other similarities : the calls for impeachment, the probes and investigations (Ken Starr = Patrick Fitzmas), the same concentration on arguing the question of when 'is' a lie a lie, same pols pandering their part to convince us they're on top of things, look busy, the peons are watching. MSM doing its part; reporting might be, maybe, could be news told by high official anonymous sources, to a panting public with a boner for blood, preferably Bush and Cheney's, for war crimes and misdemeanors, or Middle East blood for some of the thirsty (the same ones who are godly).

What might the ruling elite be planning for the next episode, since they seem to be presenting the same old bread and apparently captivating circus.

Kate, you have no equal. Dazzling. Keep 'em coming in 2006.

Thanks abi. I'll be here until my sons dump my ashes in the ocean (many years from now). A happy 2006 to everyone. Or at least chin above waterline. :)

Definitely chin above as I fear it is not water we are neck-deep in. Entertainment is good - it stills, for the moment, the hunger pangs for what's missing in our lives. Let them tear themselves limb from limb whilst we watch. We're never going to know 'what's really going on' anyway.

this is a bit off topic, but I wonder if anyone has a site or the numbers of americans leaving this country and settling elsewhere due to the madness of the thugs and murderers running this country. If nothing changes soon, The Cretin In Chief will have his police state, I fear.

EscapeArtist might have something on their site. The US government might have stats but I don't know they would be reliable as Americans leaving wouldn't fit into the "everybody wants to come here" propaganda.

I personally know several people who have surprised me with liquidating assets and leaving the country 2 and 3 years ago. Individuals who had not considered leaving until Bush era.

dus,
"We're never going to know 'what's really going on' anyway."

I think it is possible to know what's going on as the ruling class has repeated the same game, variable with time and available technology. They lie, kill, rob our incomes, the treasury, and protect the setup that allows them to do so.

Most people simply do not want to think about what's "really going on" as it disturbs their sleep.

The "government" (rulers) encourages and manipulates (websites today) support for all theories (in the past with word of mouth, cave wall, newspaper, books, television). As long as there is no serious call for revolution a site can grow huge; it's doing the government a favor; giving succor and massage to the angry and a spot to vent.

Sites that advocate major change, revolution, overthrowing the government, etc. will remain small, and as harmless as the bigger sites. If they developed a large grassroots national base in the street - then we would see a police state, shutting down of sites, jailing, assassins, Americans fighting Americans, etc. Apparently folks learned the government lesson well in the violence of the 1960s.

Most are convinced "things will change" after the next election, the next war, the next peace, the next spokesperson for the people, the next _________, so why risk anything such as life and limb or livelihood by going any further than the keyboard or ballot box. And although no change will come from either - folks can feel they're "activist" and wait for the next ______.

Unfortunately when the global elite fight, it is we the people who are torn limb from limb, protecting the system like good little pawns.
