Brilliant..."Deteriorata" - National Lampoon by Christopher Guest

The National Lampoon parody Written by Christoper Guest

"Deteriorata" - National Lampoon

You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata. Deteriorata.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up!

SHS: Spokeswoman, You have invested your mind in helping Trump unravel America..

Sarah Sanders
Verified account @PressSec
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so.


Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Sarah Sanders

You are a spokeswoman for incipient authorianism, lies, and state-sanctioned hate. I don’t care about your personal courtesies. You have invested your mind in helping the most discourteous and cruel leader in our history to unravel America.

A mom who left her blind kid behind and brought the other kid here...then was separated...

Rep. Jayapal (D Washington) on Ari now...telling a story about a mom who left her blind kid behind and brought the other kid to America...then was separated. Another mom had one son killed by gangs, one son paralyzed by gangs, brought the 3rd kid to America, to be separated.

I am beginning to not like the sound of America....Trump's America....remember how long it took Germany to cast off that stigma...may we fare better..

Why Trump thinks domestic violence victims don't deserve asylum, abuse is a private matter..



Why Trump thinks domestic violence victims don't deserve asylum.

What else, other than out-and-out hostility and a desire to hurt the most vulnerable, justifies Sessions’s decision to remove asylum protections from women suffering violence at the hands of their partners? Well, there’s one other thing: misogyny, and the attendant lack of understanding of how domestic violence works. Sessions classifies intimate partner violence as 'private​', and leveled against women 'for personal reasons'

In his opinion on the matter, Sessions classifies intimate partner violence as “private”, and leveled against women “for personal reasons”. That’s significant because obtaining a grant of asylum requires that the asylum seeker show they are persecuted for their race, religion, political views, national origin, or membership in a particular social group. While of course some men suffer domestic violence as well, and some women are perpetrators, overwhelmingly it is women who are abused at the hands of men – it’s not just “domestic violence”, it’s gender-based violence, perpetrated because men believe they have a right of absolute control over women, and often ignored by law enforcement because, like Sessions, police and governments all over the world considered raping and beating your wife or girlfriend a private, personal matter.

Any time TonySchwartz is on Ari it is absolutely terrifying...

how Trump is very close to being Hitler to the crazies in his cult. His aim is to be a dictator and he is succeeding. He has no conscience. None.
