It's A Blurb! it's a Blame! It's Super Committee!
It was August, it had been hot as heck, and the state of affairs was dire. The president needed his credit limit increased in time for the holidays, or the planet would be destroyed! thus he took the kind of drastic action solely a career politician with vast experience in community organizing may take: he appointed a committee. but not simply any committee, no! an excellent Committee!
Charged with fixing everything by Thanksgiving, the Super Friends gathered around a table at a top-secret location... cartoon heroes on one facet, cartoon villains on the other. Rhino, whose super power is believing his arch-enemies and who therefore sat at the chair in the middle, spoke 1st. "You're right, Joker," he said. "We need to yank those taxes up nice and high! especially on those millionaires and billionaires who somehow manage to form $200K!"
"You can't try this," said arch-villain Captain America. "Those are business owners. they are the sole hope we've for investment and employment and recovery of the global economy."
Everyone simply stared at the Captain, and finally, the Super Demediacrat coalition got up and left the space. "You get that guy?" Two-Face said, rolling his eyes as they huffed out. "Private sector. Sheesh."
Once they all settled in at their new top-secret location, Lex Luther (the super brain behind the coalition) spoke quietly over tented fingers. "This is the deal," he said. "There will be no deal."
After an awed hush, Rhino dared speak. "But Mr. Luther, if we don't build a deal by Thanksgiving, we have to, like, sell the navy!"
Luther simply smiled.
"Wait," said the Red Menace, "that's brilliant! we sell the navy to China - they have one - and then we hire a bazillion government employees to build us a new one! bigger government, the illusion of employment, happy China... all problems solved!"
"But what regarding the $600 billion that'll embark of entitlementses, Precious?" asked Gollum. "Not gonna happen!" everyone yelled in unison. "If we've to, we'll simply sell the air force, too," said The green Boondoggle. "I bet that'll fetch a pretty penny." "But who can we discover who desires a contemporary, stealthy air force and has that kind of money?" Rhino asked.
Luther simply smiled.
"Iran?" steered Menace. everyone agreed that Iran, or their friends, may use a contemporary air force and will afford to shop for one. There was much rejoicing.
And that's how the president and his Super Friends saved the day and created the planet safe for socialism. Now, drink your soy milk and go back to sleep, little voters. do not have nightmares regarding freedom and private prosperity... those monsters were slain 3 years ago.
