Stay Tuned

PREVIOUSLY IT WAS SUGGESTED here that general patraeus, by resiging his job as director of the CIA, (which, for the edification of our russian readers, is the approximate equivalent of the russian KGB, anybody who's anybody has one), effectively deprived us, the american people, of a dramatic spectacle of considerable entertainment, if not intellectual value. Considerable, but still somewhat less than the monica and cill clinton scandal of a decade and a half ago.

But not so fast! It seems that we shall , after all, be lavishly entertained once again in high dramatic style, thanks largely to the manganimous thoughtfulness of the american media, with the major television networks leading the way, as usual.

All the sordid, lurid details, right in our living rooms on our big high def screens, in our easy chairs, in between sexy ads for hooters, victoria's secret, the bank of america, and macdonald's, those citadels of american capitalistic virtue and pride. How can you lose?

The lady is gorgeous, seductive, catlike athletic, brilliant. He, the consumate man of great power. And handsome to boot.  Welcome to the fun house! Welcome to america, the land of enchantment, where nothing is as it seems, but better.

More exciting, more sexy, more violent, more adrenalin drenching. Ready your credit cards, you are about to be urged to part with your money at our all powerful corporate alter. Let the consumption orgy begin anew, with renewed vigor! Stay tuned. It only gets better.
