RHYMES AGAINST HUMANITY #3

R.A.N.R
(ray ner)
Rightwing Authoritarian Nationalist Rule

RANR is the game congress plays.
RANR kisses your rights away.
Congress is legit no more
When to the bucks they whore.

Founding papers all encased,
might as well be erased.
Congress memory seems to blot
and understanding meanings not.

RANR is called by many a name.
Fascist rule becomes their tool.
So why the cry, why the hue?
It’s time for these new kooks to rule.

RHYMES AGAINST HUMANITY #2

 (to the tune of Cole Porter’s  Let’s Fall in Love)


T Cells do it, germs do it
Even  little tiny birds do it
Let’s do it, lets execute.
In  Iran,  ayatollahs  doit   (oh you’ll really get stoned)
Tali ban and some Pakis do it
Let’s do  it, lets execute.

The Chinese on the main land  do it
And they charge by the shot,
The Japs in Japan do it
In rooms quite hush hush.

Some folks down in Houston love it,
A bit more      than the rest .
Let’s do it, let’s execute.

Other states without cause do it
some say , ban the DNA,
Let’s do it,         lets execute.

It matters not that  juries rigged for it,
No,   Not one little bit.
If you’re not for it, you’re not on  it
if you are         then this juries in.

So if you’re poor without means to it
You can kiss it good-bye;
If you’re rich as a bitch,
It’s the jury that’s hung.
Let’s do it, let’s execute

Just how many have passed  through it
Not guilty, I’m sure of it.
What’s the seeming point to  it?
They’re dead to it, so
Lets’s do  it let’s execute

The cost to bear is immense for it
The psychic and expense for  it.
Oh just hand me a gun.
And I’ll do it!
Let’s do it let’s execute.
Let’s do it let’s execute.
THE END

TAXATION WITHOUT RECOGNITION Or, Necessity is a Mother


The commander of the USS BUD LIGHT, one of the new Littoral Combat vessels, ordered flank speed of 55 knots. Her companion ship The USS GOOGLE CHROME matched speed and trailed a 100 yards on The Bud Light’s port side. Both vessels were named after industrial sponsors were found to augment the cost of the nation’s defense. The tax base had dwindled due in part to the aging population and the cost of the clean up of a coordinated bio attack on a few cities by a rogue terrorist group.*

Congress had decided that if local jurisdictions could bribe companies like Verizon to help offset the cost of stadiums the military could do the same. The cost would be offset by higher prices to the consumer as a form of taxation without recognition. And each sponsoring company would have exclusive distribution rights to be negotiated with each vendor as required by law. 

It was a win-win situation for a government short on cash with a high debt ratio.  The US Navy, the first to implement this program was quite pleased. They got new ships and aircraft. The Companies sponsoring received the benefit of a legal advertising monopoly, including dolls (or action figures as they are called for the male gender), toy ship, posters a reduction in taxes as part of the New Enhanced Patriot & Acquisition Act, and the USA was still one of the most potent sea powers on the planet.

The Air Force and Army were in negotiations with some of the corporations they felt would represent their branches in a most positive manner. These remained secret until the contracts were signed. The Air Force and the Army decided on base change names instead of individual items.

The possibilities were almost endless.
