Wealth Bondage Cold War on Democracy

Posted by Candidia Cruikshanks, CEO of Wealth Bondage

"Choosing Democracy Consciously"? What the fuck? Democracy! You, little piss ant, you think Wealth Bondage is a Democracy! About time we stomped this man down. By making an example of the few, we can spare ourselves the trouble of rounding them all up. Better to make clear from the beginning that resistance is futile, there is no alternative, going along to get along is the only hope.  Get me Deputy Editor on the line.  I want this man edited, big time. Cut whatever you have to cut. And bring me the pieces on by one. Democracy for Christsake. I will show you what Freedom is, asshole. I am going to give you all the Freedom you can stand, down in the bottom of a well for the rest of your life.  The rest of you, go back to your cubicles. Momma will handle this. Everything is under control.

AKMA Doth Protest too Much

Posted by Dr. Amrit Chadwallah

As subtle as a serpent,  AKMA now denies his involvement with the Homeland Security Sermon Swat Team. I didn't expect him to own up to it.  Did you?

Gentle Cleric Turns Homeland Security Stooge?

Posted by The Happy Tutor

Has AKMA been turned by Homeland Security? Romans 13, AKMA? Can you give us a preemptive sermon? Bless the Halliburton-built Detention Camps? Teach us patience, at least? Or, the art of the parable? Who thought that we in our lifetime would have the opportunity to live up to our convictions?  May we prove equal, Lord, to our calling, whether it be satire or sermon, to bear witness when our hour comes. Me, I am going peacefully muttering Romans 13, as so many have.

Teacher Student Bonding on Campus

Posted by The Happy Tutor

William Deresiewicz in The American Scholar, cited by Dialogic:

What attracts professors to students, then, is not their bodies but their souls. Young people are still curious about ideas, still believe in them — in their importance, their redemptive power. Socrates says in the Symposium that the hardest thing about being ignorant is that you’re content with yourself, but for many kids when they get to college, this is not yet true. They recognize themselves as incomplete, and they recognize, if only intuitively, that completion comes through eros. So they seek out professors with whom to have relationships, and we seek them out in turn.

As Dungeon Master to the Stars my experience is similar.  Even when wealthy people get out of school, they recognize themselves as incomplete, and they recognize, if only intuitively, that their completion comes through eros.  So they seek me out from all over the world to get their fannies tanned.  I would rather be teaching  co-eds than their parents, but we all do what we can.  It is all strictly Socratic, Madame. 

Joel Orosz on Grant-makers in Wealth Bondage

Posted by The Deputy Editor, Laying Down The Law in Wealth Bondage

Not the kind of thing that polite people discuss in public, Joel. What are the chances that Give and Take will link to this post, Stacy? Journalists, being objective and having no stake in the outcome, generally give voice to both sides equally. How come Wealth Bondage is never heard, except through its intermediaries, at one remove, mouthing banalities? Peter Panepento is turning pink. Walk quickly past the Bordello, Peter. No one will ever know you snuck a look.
