Take heart, true patriots. Our day will come. The corporate oligarchists won't rule us much longer. Their number will be up one day when the stars are aligned just right and the people clamor for a restoration of traditional values and virtues. We'll conquer the world with faith, hope and charity. The sun will be out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar.
Humanitarian superpower, that's us.

Hot Stuff
* A component of the oligarchy controlling us is Big Pharma, the prescription and over-the-counter drug manufacturers who finance both elected and appointed government officials. One agency designed to protect our health and safety is the FDA, but its record is spotty. They do act strangely at times. Now the FDA is embroiled in a dispute about the heart attack risks of Avandia, a diabetes treatment. The manufacturer confessed months ago to the FDA that there was a problem. A recent study by the Cleveland Clinic indicates an even worse problem exists. The apparently unalarmed federal agency issued a statement that it would "Look at it again."
* California Governor Arnold Schwarzenagger (he drives a Hummer) visited Utah Governor Huntsman in Salt Lake City to lay plans for joining the war on global warming. Before they get all hot and bothered, please tell them about how the sun is heating up, as is Mars. The governors should cool it, but we know it's hard for them. When you have power, you tend to think that you, well, that you have power.
* Have you noticed how dogs are different nowadays? The canines used to turn their backs and kick dirt on their messes. Honest, dogs kicked dirt. Those were the days my friend. No more of that. In our modern times, the dog's masters carry plastic bags, scoop it up and carry it home. Has the dog become the master? What does the dog think of these subservient humans?
Dogs should kick dirt, that's what kicking is for. Otherwise, put the leashes on the owners.
* Senator Hatch has returned from Iraq. He believes in the mission more than ever. Was there ever any doubt he'd say that? He should tell us what the mission is. Has it changed, AGAIN?
* Let's build statues in the park for Scott Ritter, Hans Blix, Ron Paul and Michael Moore.
* Puiffed-up, big shots in Congress, that includes Senator Chris Dodd, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee and our own Senator Robert Bennett, just go nuts at the idea of Wal-Mart or Home Depot establishing banks. Isn't free enterprise the American way? If Pete's Electric Repair wants to start Pete's Bank as an added source of revenue, why not? Uncle Sam, get off our backs! Unregulate us, please.
* Stop the war.
The Dixie Thinker is serious fun, but not for the snug and smug.
