THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Delayed by her bra, air passenger is indignant

The supervisor told her she had the choice of submitting to a pat-down in a private room or not flying. Kates offered a third alternative, to take off her bra and try again, which the TSA accepted.

"They tried to humiliate me and I was not going to be humiliated over this," Kates said. "If I was carrying nail clippers and forgot about them, I wouldn't have gotten so upset. But here I was just wearing my underwear."

New TSA rules

chillyphantom

New TSA rules are being developed as you read this.

Passengers must arrive 100% naked.
Any passenger that is not naked will be stripped by our burly 400 pound ex-WWF guards.

Full body cavity searches will be done by ex-Bulgarian arm wrestler Olga Brunski.

No carry-on articles (including clothing) will be allowed.

All passengers will be head chipped for their own safety.
Chips will be programmed with your boarding pass and other flight documents.
This will eliminate errors and guarantee a safe flight.
In the event of a hostile takeover, the offending individual's head chip will be detonated.
We regret to inform you that this can be a messy experience.
Since you are all naked, you won't have any problem with stains.

Smoking WILL be allowed on our planes.
We have set up smoking seats in two isolated areas - one is on each wing.
Please keep your seat belt fastened at all times even when the light goes off inside the plane.

Damn, I should have been a writer for Monty Python :-P
