May
the Profit Be With You
In
the beginning there was George Lucas, and on the day
of the first film he created the Stars and the Wars,
and it was
good.
And on the day of the second film George
Lucas separated the fan-boy from his money, and it
was good, too.
And on the day of the third film George Lucas breathed
life into the nostrils of the Ewok, and it was all
downhill
from
there. And darkness fell
upon the theatres of the Earth for one score
year and six.

Pardon me for being a bit cynical about this whole
"Star Wars 3D" thing but I guarantee you that one
day we will all recall this shameless display of avarice
with the same gut-punch of embarrassment that
accompanied the release
of the Ethyl Merman Disco Album.
Where does it all end?
First there was the original Star Wars, and it was
mind-boggling. Then came the sequels, then the Special
Editions, then the prequels, the cartoons, and now
the 3D versions.
At some point Lucas will probably screen a set of prints
that have been personally drawn through his butt cheeks,
and
the fan-boys will go wild.
And then, finally, at some point, Lucas or his heirs
will release to theatres all-new, uncut prints of the
original movie.
Better reserve your place in line now, 'cause here
we go again.

Note 1: The church can no longer control
you with its message. That's why they want the government
to force
you to do it their way.
Note 2: If Republicans can legislate
that every
human egg is a human being then Democrats can make
every
sperm sacred... to make a point.
Note 3: Dear Ronald Reagan: Thanks
for wrecking
America.
Note 4: Missouri teen slaughters
her neighbor, laughs about it, then heads for
church.
Note 5: Teen
pregnancy rates are
at all-time lows. Thanks to our younger citizen's
careful attention to contraception.

Republican Job Creation Update
2-10-2012: House
Republican's are watering down the insider
trading bill so that Democrats will vote against
it. Thus, come November, our GOP pals can say that
Democrats are actually for insider
trading. What more could we expect from these useless
conservative sleazeballs?
