progressive cyberdadaism from our nation’s capital
Maybe Agitprop’s right, and the world didn’t end yesterday. Maybe it did. Who can tell? This could be heaven. Right?
Or, maybe this is all an imaginary dream world and you’re all figments of my imagination. Could be. It could happen.
The Heretik says that ““An unapproved type of genetically engineered grass has been found growing in the wild.” That’s not supposed to happen. Right? Doesn’t that mean I’m probably dreaming?
I’m thinking of writing an imaginary newspaper. Instead of being about things that happen, I’ll just make stuff up. Kind of like Tony Blankley, who is pioneering Imaginary News at the Washington Times. I guess I should hire him before he steals my idea:
President Ahmadinejad threatens to unleash the “fire of Allah,” should the United States, Turkey, Egypt or Saudi Arabia further intervene in Iraq. The same “fire of Allah” is threatened at the “Zionist Entity” if she doesn’t immediately stop her war against Syria, Lebanon and the Islamic Republic of Palestine.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey request immediate publicly acknowledged coverage under the United State’s nuclear umbrella — at least until their joint crash program to develop their own nuclear bombs can be accomplished.
If you didn’t guess, “fire of Allah” is Blankleyspeak for nuclear warfare. And, if you didn’t guess, this distopian Tomorrowland is the result of Bush critics running the show.
It could be. When you’re asleep anything is possible.
