Senator Joe Munchkin Asserts Will of "Little People"

 (Arcane Press International)

Senator Joe Munchkin (D-Munchkinland) today in a press conference defended his commitment to compromise with the "Wicked Witch of the West" by agreeing to hand over Dorothy's little dog Toto as part of the negotiations. 

Munchkin, steely eyed and resolute, stated that giving up the dog to The Witch was a necessary part of achieving bipartisanship between the forces of good and evil in Munchkinland, and that Toto was simply driving "Ms. West" nuts. "We are taking Toto off the table in order to find ten Flying Monkeys that will vote for a power sharing agreement to govern the City". 


One reporter asked pointedly, " Mr. Munchkin, you do realize that Munchkinland is just one section of the Kingdom of Oz, and other regions also have an interest in the deals you are negotiating?".

Munchkin responded, "look, that doesn't matter to me. I was elected by Munchkins, and my loyalty is to all of the little people who put me where I am today, So bug off"! 

When asked for comment, the Wicked Witch said "soon, my little pretty, the dog will be mine, and will make a very delicious stew. Time to use those Ruby Slippers now and get lost haha"!

President Oz commented that he is working with Senator Munchkin, and while he is sad about Toto, being a dog lover himself, he will not interfere with any efforts to get a bipartisan deal. 

We will be following this breaking development, so stay tuned.

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
