The Greatest Show On Earth>Act One-The Freaks

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up boys and girls and moms and dad of all ages and come see the greatest team of orchestrated organizations ever to set foot upon this soil we call Earth!

War in Iraq! War between the Israelis, Palestinians & Hamas! Anti-American sentiment overseas (as if that’s really changed over the past several years)! North Korea missile-testing! Death! Destruction! Disease!

And while you’re pondering these monstrosities and more that I forgot to mention and picking the popcorn out of your teeth and the cotton candy from out of your beard and moustache, step right this way to the inside tent and feast your eyes upon world’s greatest freak show!

Gather ‘round my friends and view the lifeless body of the man who once fooled an entire body of his own employees, no I’m not talking about Ronald Reagan this time, (maybe next time), but the late great Kenneth Lay, whom along with his best pinstriped jailbird-bound pal Jeffery Skilling (brother of WGN-TV weatherman Tom Skilling), managed to cook the books of their own demised corporation, Enron and funnel millions of dollars for their own use, thereby leaving their employees retirement funds empty.

Imagine that, my friends! The man up and has a heart attack and dies while maintaining his innocence of the whole affair. So the burning question remains: who gets all the money he was supposed to pay back to his former employees??? Ask his lawyers! Yes, my friends, Kenneth Lay got the last laugh on his way to Hell!

Now over this way, we have glass tanks full of oil barons and their precious black gold, Texas tea as it’s sometimes referred to. There they sit, virtually drowning in the stuff while watching their profit margins, double, triple and even quadruple at times all at the expense of the common man.

Do you really think they care about climbing oil prices? Do you think they care if gasoline prices keep rising like the drop of coins into a Coca-Cola vending machine almost daily? Do you really think my friends that once oil dries up that these rich Daddies are going to be around? Heck no! They’ll be out playing some other market making a quick buck, like say vegetable oil or ethanol

And finally, finally my friends, step this way to see the greatest living example of a failure known to American politics, no matter which way you slice it. Hated among his people, loved by journalists, cartoonists and pundits and talk show hosts and the butt of many, many, many comedian’s jokes, routines and skits, that monkey-man of a president, who has failed more times with less words and less courage than Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan combined. The greatest buffoon since village idiots of freakdom were created! The man who should have been Kennedy'd a long, long time ago!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up boys and girls and moms and dad of all ages and come see the greatest team of orchestrated organizations ever to set foot upon this soil we call Earth!

War in Iraq! War between the Israelis, Palestinians & Hamas! Anti-American sentiment overseas (as if that’s really changed over the past several years)! North Korea missile-testing! Death! Destruction! Disease!
