An American Prayer


Image Source

The Corporation is my shepherd; I shall not want.
It maketh me to park close to the stores:
It leadeth me beside the new mall.
It restoreth my credit rating:
It leadeth me in the paths of consuming for It's profits sake.
Yea, though I walk through the frenzied isles of WalMart,
I will fear no price tag: for credit art with me;
Thy cash and thy card they comfort me.
Thou preparest a sale before me in the hardware section of Sears,
Thou anointest my bank account with 1% interest; my cup runneth over.
Surely new iphones and blackberries shall tempt me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the debt of the Corporation for ever.
Amen.
-Joe Crippen

Is it true Caligula is coming to Thatcher's funeral?

I think the most popular tee shirt I have seen in pics of the British streets are "I am not going to work on maggie's farm no more."

Another that wasn't bad was "I am the guy the Daily mail warned you about."
