Life At New Animal Farm Won’t Be All That Bad

By July, we will come to feel that 2009 will be one of the most upbeat years in our history, as what used to be the news media∗ begins to get behind America and report on all the mysteriously wonderful things that are suddenly taking place.

All the campaign talk of the Great Depression, a Vietnam-like war, and our shredded Constitution will now thankfully subside as the Obama administration assumes office and solves problems with conciliation, dialogue, and multilateral wisdom, rather than shrillness, unilateralism, preemption, and my-way-or-the-highway dogmatism. We will hear that, by historical levels, unemployment is still not that bad, that GDP growth is not historically all that low, and that deficits, inflation, interest rates, and housing starts are all within manageable parameters...

And the chocolate ration will be raised from 30 to 20 grams!

Break out the Victory Gin!

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia!

In 2009, I expect to enjoy Ramen noodles almost every night for dinner! Man! There was a time when I almost never ate Ramen noodles. Happy Days are here again!

shrill complaints that we live in an America without a Constitution.

Back to the soft spoken reminders from Conservatives that the Rats have been systematically dismantling our Constitutional Republic since 1935.

And when the temperatures rise or drop, the wind howls, the clouds burst forth or go away, the snow melts or piles up, it will be, well, nature that caused the havoc, not the current occupant of the White House who failed to sign Kyoto.

No, Victor, I think you've got this one wrong.

The left needs global warming, Obama needs global warming.

Weather will never be just weather, not even under the leadership of The One.

Weather will always be, forevermore, the fault of evil capitalists.

Remember, in the 1960s, long after Mao had murdered everyone who had ever bought or sold anything above the value of a pickle, it was the evil capitalists who continued to be the blame for everything.

Global warming -- ever unprovable, ever undeniable -- will always warm the cockles of the cold hearted left and provide them with the justification they need to push society to ever lower and lower levels of productivity.

Those inside the big house change, the commandments on the barn wall subtly are crossed out and updated, but the farm for us animals stays about the same.

Nothing but rainbows, butterflies, teddy bears and unicorns!

Nope.

I expect the MSM to report that the economy is in shambles for at least the next couple of years, while it can still be blamed on Bush. Only as we near the next Presidential election in 2012, will the MSM report that thanks to Obama all is well - in stark contrast to the horrible Bush years.

You’ll have a nice iron rice bowl to eat them in, comrade. Homelessness will disappear, and Code Pink, ANSWER, NION, and Cindy Sheehan will vanish as if by magic!/s

The lame stream media can report what it wants,that won`t create jobs or stop the impending hyperinflation induced collapse of our economy.Nor will it kill the terrorists who`ll be at liberty to kill us.

The noble People's Republic found 100 million subjects that needed nothing in the "to each according to his needs" part of the deal.

I'm sure 0bama can do better in America, maybe 150 million.

Good luck with that, and a Hopey New Year VDH.
