		<description>Mr. Zersky in his previous career as a lab assistant to Dr. Pavlov, who is famous for his Classical Conditioning experiments with dogs, also has another quirk about him.  To this day, whenever he hears a bell sound, he immediately begins salivating, whether or not a meal or a Kibble &amp; Bit rolls down the chute.

Old habits die hard when you&#039;re desperate, and prone to believing that commercial advertising is actually hard news.  The fact that he sold his last stock months ago to keep the cable TV turned on, attests to his adherence to the mantra, &quot;what&#039;s good for Wall Street, is good for the homeless too&quot;.</description>

		<description>Mr. Shenk: &quot;While you&#039;re out there spreading manure &amp; sowing the seeds of disinformation about what I supposedly said, I’ll try to get the so-called ‘infernal electronic version’ they have of my email back on my screen, don my handy-dandy kick-ass boots, and properly trash that email by  bashing &amp; stomping the son-of-a-bitch into smithereens.  Then I’ll grind my heels into the little pieces, back into the silicon grains of sand they came from.  Will that get rid of any trace of that blasted email?”

Joe Peanut Butter:  “Well, first of all, the silicon you’re talking about is the memory in the chips on the motherboard inside that other box, sir.  That one’s sort of what we refer to as…your computer.  That’s where the memory sort of is, sir.  But, the short answer to your question, sadly, is…no, not exactly.”

Mr. Shenk:  “I knew that!”</description>

		<description>Yo commenter #1, “Silverball” above.  And just what do you get paid for...working for some kind of think tank for the humor-impaired that requires &quot;absolute concrete thinking&quot;?  You know, or actually maybe you don&#039;t, but there are various forms of brain damage some people have such that their thought processes are so rigid, literal, and restricted, that they don&#039;t even know that there is a nuanced world outside of the box, a box they don&#039;t even realize they are living and trapped inside of.  

If you ask them &quot;do you know what time it is?&quot;, their answer invariably is &quot;yes&quot;.  Then you ask them, &quot;well then, can you tell me what time it is&quot;, and they of course again answer...&quot;yes&quot;.  They aren&#039;t able to get a whole lot deeper than that...sadly.

All this to say, dude, this is a P A R O D Y site.  Like...irony...spoof...exposing right wing insanity for what it is, by pretending to be a wing-nut, but you really aren&#039;t, because you&#039;re a creative, talented, and informed political satirist.  You really outta get out of that box a little more often dude.

NOW...if you are actually a parody genius too, and I took your rant too literally and you in fact do get it, and are an 11 dimensional chess master playing an “anti-role” just as Henry does, then I&#039;m the fool and maybe I need to break out of my box a little more often too.  If that’s the case…my bad…never mind…you got me good!  If not, I recommend that you become familiar with a handy little tool called a “box cutter”.</description>

		<description>Yes, it is true.  We Americans ARE a nation of “Deciders”, a term SO eloquently coined by the former Mensa Man himself, AKA “W”.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that our populace as a whole has been dumbed down to an IQ level that is so severely anemic, an actual sack of doorknobs (literally) recently scored significantly higher on the Stanford-Benet Intelligence Test than that of the national norm!  This study conforms to a high degree of statistical validity, with a deviation from the mean of a mere .0002 percent.

In other words, we have indeed become a nation of blunderers, combination plates short on tacos, rice, AND beans, and boxes of pencils that are full to the brim, with nary a sharpened tip among the lot.

Here’s how his day starts for the prototypical American:

“I just woke up.  I have a thought.  I’m the prototypical American genius in my own mind.  I’ve just decided that we should go to war with 3…hell, why not make that 4…or 5 countries that are far, far away, that have never done a thing to us other than build their houses on OUR oil and resources (the bastards!).  Damn right!  And while we’re on a roll, why don’t we just borrow the money to pay for this from countries that don’t have nukes, or as many nukes as we do?&quot;

Having done a full day of productive heavy thinking, I’m now ready for breakfast.  Tomorrow, I’ll figure out why other people hate us for our freedoms…can you believe the nerve of those guys?</description>
