Get it while you can

Apparently the health care plan provides for the resurrection of Uncle Joe Stalin in Doctor Frankenstein's Secret DC Lab, based on the reactions to the passage of the tepid health care reform bill, and includes cab fare for him to get to the White House where he can finish installing the Communistic Fascistic Anarchic Regime that the past fourteen months have been preparing for him. That will give us two days before we begin feasting on Christian babies and providing some people with more health care.

The 101st Marching Typewriter Brigade is declaring secession and bloodshed, because this is the most apocalyptic thing to ever happen to this country since its separation from Pangaea. And I'm not actually exaggerating that much. Luckily, Obama's plan to grab everybody's guns and leave us armed with box cutters and knitting needles ran a little slow, and so they're ready to fight back.... by not turning in their census forms. That'll show us socialist bastards.

Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm

Those of you who have read Dune, can you tell me how fair this synopsis is?

Dune “Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert, published in 1965. It won the Hugo Award in 1966, and also the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is frequently cited as the world's best-selling science fiction novel.” Is it a coincidence that the production company that financed Avatar is named Dune Entertainment? You decide: Dune is about a planet that is the only source in the galaxy for something that sells for millions per gram; it’s being mined by evil offworlders. One offworlder accidentally falls in with the locals- and isn’t killed out of hand because they receive a sign. So the daughter of a chief is assigned to teach him the ways of the planet and the people. Naturally, they fall in love. Passing a test of manhood- which involves riding a huge wild beast- he is accepted as one of the people, and using a mix of his offworld knowledge and his new understanding of this world, he becomes a war leader. They ride their beasts into combat against the high-tech offworlders and win.

Yes, it's from a review of Avatar, but I think he must be stacking his deck slightly.
