The Great Wake 16: Oval Bowl

 

"Tell me about my schedule today, boy.  I got no time for messing around, you see, better toe the line, you see, I need a whole hour for lunch, man.  Step back, out of my way, I got the runs.  Stinking you out, but you'll get used to it, keep the bathroom unlocked, you use the one down the hall.  The Oval Bowl is all mine, I'm the President of the United States."


"Nice, nice, a bike ride, now that's some fun, keep moving is what I always say.  Stand still and you might freeze up, end up stiff, take it from me.  Cut that Vietnam War meeting with those G.I.'s, ditch the Baghdad call, ghost Kabul, we might have new war now.  Heard that Putin fella might invade Ukraine, we just can't let that happen.  Not on my watch, not on this watch, not on any watch."

"Get my son on the face television, he's got some new art he wants to show me.  He's working in ash now, all his pictures are made with ashes.  He burns all his clothes and uses the ashes.  Think of it, brilliant!  Burns his clothes to make the ashes, that's where he gets his ashes, his bicycle ash picture sold for 50 grand."

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
