As many of Scribe’s gentle readers know, Scribe has a time machine. What they may not know is that this machine, dubbed the U.S.S. Peabody was fitted with an alternate universe door opening, and jamming, device. The jamming comes in handy when there’s leakage, like when the “Yummy, Yummy We All Got Love in Our Teletubbie Tummies” universe almost leaked into our own.
Recently Scribe just came back from one such trip and proceeded to write this cautionary, yet true in the satirical sense, tale. He had gone back to warn the president about terrorists, terrorism and what was about to happen not too far in the future.
Now when a time line changes we don’t wink out of existence; though we may snooze a little. No, an alternate universe is created with an alternate timeline…
Scribe is crying in anguish. How can he type the words? Was Junior RIGHT? How do we deal with terrorism? Scribe just went back and mentioned to the president what was going to happen. Immediately he clamped down on the Bill of Rights, he had those even suspected of aiding or sympathizing with the terrorists picked up, interrogated, water boarded, rendered, diced, sliced and sold to the Ronco company for a handsome profit.
The society turned far less free, that’s for sure. One party, even when they are in the minority, gets most of what they want and little of what they don’t. The mainstream press, afraid of being painted unpatriotic and in the pocket of industries connected to one certain party, do everything they can to either not cover such abuses or give them as little press, and as much leeway, as possible.
Scribe wondered: was the president not the man Scribe thought him to be? Or had knowing the future turned him into another Junior? Or, instead of going back in time, had Scribe entered an alternative universe?
That’s right, Scribe went…
…to pre-Oklahoma City and then whispered into Bill Clinton’s ear what was about to happen.
On the semi-bright side, Lush Dimbulb is breaking waterboards on a regular basis, the towers are still standing, several horrendous, needless, pointless wars unstarted and Ann Coulter hasn’t been seen since she joined Jimmy Hoffa. Wellstone is still here and tries, the best he can, to object. Millions of people are still alive, The ReTHUGlican party has turned soft and into, “Oh, we won’t challenge that, or that, or… might be used against us.”
Why did Scribe come back?
Because it doesn’t matter…
Evil is evil.
Wrong is wrong.
And the Neo Cons damn well KNOW IT.
Recently Mike Malloy called for the Republican Party to be banned, and Scribe respectfully disagrees for the same reason. Like banning the Communist Party, or even the Nazi Party, it’s counter productive and most of all…
Like Junior’s policies and Neo-Con tactics, it turns us into a Pogo-ism.
“We have met the enemy: and he is us.”
