No, no, really (he says, doing his very best, over-the-top, under-the-weather Ricky Gervais). Bear with me for a sec. If those who advocate for corporations to be persons (cough, hack -- the 1%) follow through consistently with their political beliefs (granted, with Gingrich and Romney as standard-bearers, not very likely – but this is my satirical piece, so let me finish) …

In the sleepy dual township of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, NC, we like to think that our thoughtful brand of progressive leadership provides an homogenous and caring exemplar of efficient local government. Events of the past few months have left me wondering if the reverse is true.

We are not homogenous. Not in our demographic or political make-up. Nor even in our alleged single brand of caring progressivism.

I wrote an upbeat patriotic song in solidarity with ordinary American workers, and those most at risk in our society: A Song of Solidarity (Red, White & Blue).

It has been posted by AFL-CIO on their 'We Are One' web-site, supporting the hundreds of rallies being staged around the nation in solidarity with workers' rights.

[Re-posted from Abbas Goya, with this Health Warning: no irony today!] No-one who knows me would ever confuse me with a Communist. But historically, revolution has created strange bedfellows. And revolution comes in all political shapes and sizes. So, please take a moment to read about and support the ongoing Iranian Revolution...

As part of my End-of-Year round-up, I thought I’d re-run my solution to the enigma that was Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. And I was right all along. It WAS a conspiracy. I was the first to be able to publish the details back in October. And I remain the only person brave enough (?) to post them – even now. Please note...

With Advent here, why shouldn’t the Church of Scientology have its own Christmas…I mean…Xenu-mas song? Especially after all their troubles this year...

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, where no man had boldly gone before, in a land where the sun never set and the climate never changed, lived a lovely young princess called Airwick.

Wherever she went, gaily tripping around the land, singing her sweet songs, and dancing her pretty little dances, the air was fresh and clean smelling. And the good folk who inhabited the land were happy and abundant.

Then one day, a large and sweaty giant, known as Al Ogre, came and settled right in the middle of Princess Airwick’s kingdom.

Al was a goodly soul. He hurt no-one. But he did talk a lot. I mean, on and on and on and on. It burned your ears. You wanted to take the good folk of the kingdom and smash them into…I’m sorry, medication…now, where was I?

Oh yes. Goodly soul. But Al Ogre had a BIG PROBLEM. He had an Inconvenient Tooth. So, he could only imbibe liquids. And those liquids caused Al to emit the foulest, most toxic whitehouse gases...
