THE STATE OF THE EMPIRE: THE LATEST SCOOP


Almost everything that's wrong with America is implict in the following sentence, spoken (indeed, almost exclaimed) by an unsvelte individual to his equally ample companion at an Emack and Bolios: "Hey, the fourth scoop is only 75 cents more."

Somehow, this reminds me of some guys I know who, as a critique the vacuous rhetoric of sacrifice-free patriotism, propose making bumper stickers that say “Support Our Troops. Buy stuff.” Or “Support our Troops. Watch a big screen TV.” Or “Support our Troops. Eat Ice Cream.” Indeed, I once heard one of them suggest: “Hey let’s get a hot fudge Sundae. You know, for our boys overseas.”

Note: If the good folks from the Department of Homeland Security or the F.B.I. should be visiting this blog (and you are most surely welcome), please rest assured that the opinions expressed by the people refered to above in no way reflect my own. I love big cars and empty symbolic acts and guns (mostly, of the staple variety) and I have ceased to consort with the aforementioned individuals since becoming aware of their ironic relationship towards ice cream.
