Handlandia is America...May the Hand be with you. Handlandia is America's salvation. Our USA is afflicted with the world's worst plague of Conservatives. Sadly, we are not alone in suffering with Conservatives. But mixing Conservatives from different cultures and countries is an unthinkable abomination. It could even lead, Hand Forbid, to cross-breeding among different races. What can be done? The solution would be multiple bubbles, each totally isolated from each other, and from the rest of planet Earth. The cost will be staggering. Fear not.

I can't find the URL now, and I don't know if it still exists. That was quite serious, not a game.

As it will be enclosed in some form of dome we can insure that the climet is always perfect. We should spair no expense in it's creation. Then as might be expected the conservitives would prefer to stay here and fight over some lousy piece of dirt, we will simply move to paradice. Er... let's make that dome a force shield.

I wish I'd put something like that in my essay.<br /><br />I started out intending to make the essay more humorous - more like my satirical novel <i>Business Secrets from the Stars</i>, which attacks some of the same targets and is both funnier and more whimsical than the essay. But I found myself feeling too sober and grim when I thought about the very real and very serious danger those people pose to America.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274485227373284224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33824560.post-14279777679118029932011-01-26T00:37:30.073-07:002011-01-26T00:37:30.073-07:00David, nice job.

Another planet may work best, but what of the infrastructure. They've shown that they neither create nor maintain such projects. Now -- destruction, negligence.

http://www.Coffee...Here is a much better solution:<br /><br />http://www.CoffeePartyUSA.com/<br /><br />'We are Americans working to create a fair and inclusive society. Our members represent the diversity of thought, background, and circumstance that is found in the cities, towns, and neighborhoods of our country. We are a meeting place for Americans seeking common ground and collective action to strengthen our democracy.<br /><br /> We maintain our independence from all political parties and labels. Yes, we are non-partisan, but being non-partisan does not mean we will not take positions. It means that Coffee Party members will arrive at positions based on principles and facts; not on party affiliation. By seeking and spreading accurate information, we empower ourselves to take action and participate in government based on informed decisions.<br /><br /> The Coffee Party provides a place where men and women of all ages, races, physical abilities, and orientations can come together for a respectful and honest exchange of ideas. We believe that by talking and learning together - we can take action to solve the problems facing our nation. Along with national goals, we encourage Coffee Party chapters across the country to pursue local and regional projects chosen by their members.<br /><br /> As voters and grassroots volunteers, we understand that the federal government is not our enemy, but the expression of our collective will – and we pledge to both support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them. The Coffee Party USA believes that the influence of money, and the politics of fear and exclusion, stand in the way of a government “of, by and for the people.”<br /><br /> We believe in the Constitution and ‘the common good’, and will work to ensure that the voices of the people - not the power of the dollar - decide the policies and the direction of our nation.<br /><br /> Our love of country is not based on division. It is founded on our shared belief in democracy, equality, liberty, and justice. These are the ideals that define us as a nation. This is the heritage we wish to pass on to future generations.'<br /><br />http://www.CoffeePartyUSA.com/<br /><br />Kevin SchmidtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33824560.post-3765955032849749762011-01-24T18:51:27.160-07:002011-01-24T18:51:27.160-07:00Even your sarcasm is lame.
