Pope Francis to Issue Encyclical on Global Warming I mean Climate Change

We must give all power to the govermment

We must give all power to the govermment

Pope Francis, perhaps the biggest idol in the world today, has announced that he will be issuing an encyclical on global warming climate change due out in the Spring in time for the global warming climate change summit in France.

“Our holy father is very progressive” said the Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin.

He feels very deeply on this issue. The science is settled on this. Climate change is from the Devil, or America. Or Protestants.  I forget which.  But whomever created it, it is evil. This is just the first of the Holy Father’s encyclical’s that he wishes to write on modern topics.  His next one will about fairy dust and moon beams.  And the one after that will condemn the producers of Bewitched for replacing Dick York. The Holy Father feels very strongly that Dick Sargent was not a good choice. Leonard Nimoy or Jack Lemmon perhaps would have been better.

Naturally word that the Pope was going to condemn global warming climate change has the mainstream media very excited.

“I’m not Catholic” declared Vox founder Ezra Klein.

I really don’t know much about Catholicism other than Pius XII was pro-holocaust.  I don’t know what an encyclical is either.  But if Pope Francis is going to write about climate change then this is the most important event in church history since John XXIII declared that God doesn’t exist. I love this Pope!

CNN host Anderson Cooper hopes that this is the first step in making the church more liberal and tolerant.

He’s writing about an important social issue.  This proves he is compassionate. He is pro gay marriage.  This again proves how compassionate he is. He wants governments to have greater power to control all human activity.  Being from South America he knows how compassionate socialism is.  He’s just like me.  Gay, compassionate and anti Sarah Palin. I hear he is even going to make Al Gore the Vice Pope.

From Washington, President Obama praised the Pope’s encyclical.

I haven’t read it yet but I hear the Pope will be writing about everything I have been trying to do in my presidency.  I am honored to have the Pope on my side. I know he opposes the Keystone Pipeline, coal and 100 watt light bulbs.

Inside the Vatican where the Pope was meeting with reporters he was asked about his proposed encyclical.

If the governments of the world want to get together to ban internal combustion engines, travel and 100 watt light bulbs who am I to judge?  Oh, and Dick Sargent burns in hell.  That’s an ex cathedra statement mother*ckers!

Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio has already bought the screen rights to the encyclical.  The movie, entitled “Republicans Destroy Earth” will begin filming in September.

Female Driver Causes Fatal Car Crash on Pacific Coast Highway

Bruce Jenner surveys the wreckage non penis driving causes

Bruce Jenner surveys the wreckage driving without a penis causes

A female driver, identified as former Olympian and male-to-female transsexual Bruce Jenner, was involved in a horrific fatal car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Saturday.

The car that Ms. Jenner was driving hit another vehicle that was stopped at a red light, pushing that vehicle into oncoming traffic and killing the driver.  Ms. Jenner voluntarily took a field sobriety test which was negative.

New female Bruce Jenner gets in touch with what being a woman really means

New female Bruce Jenner gets in touch with what being a woman really means

The clearly shaken Ms. Jenner could not understand why she caused the car crash.

“When I had my penis I was a great driver.  I obeyed all the rules.  I never had an accident.”

Though Ms. Jenner was sober surveillance footage at the accident still does not leave her in the clear.  On the video Ms. Jenner is seen adjusting her makeup as she drives, oblivious to the traffic around her.  As her car hit the vehicle in front of her, dozens of shoes that she had just bought flew about the car, further obstructing her vision.

Authorities also report that despite initially cooperating with law enforcement Ms. Jenner became irrational and began crying.

“Why is this always happening to me” she sobbed.  “You men and your penises are trying to use your patriarchy to keep me down!”

Said a policeman at the scene:

She just started sobbing and babbling on and on.  She wouldn’t shut up.  I mean one moment she was rational and the next she was a complete lunatic, trying to scratch my eyes out.  She even threw one of her shoes at me.  Then Ms. Jenner got real quiet and started apologizing.  “Please forgive me.  You know I love you.”  I didn’t know if she was going to get violent again so I tasered her and placed her in the back of the patrol van.

After Ms. Jenner was questioned at police headquarters she was release into her own recognizance.  She also announced that she will be starring in a new commercial, a copy of which was show to reporters.

Reporter: Bruce Jenner, you’ve just won the gold medal in decathlon at the 1976 Olympics.  What are your plans?

Bruce Jenner: I’m going to have my testicles removed and the skin of my foreskin and penis reverted!

Reporter: Um, wouldn’t you rather just go to Disney World?

Bruce Jenner: No.  You see when the penis in inverted and used as flap this preserves blood and nerve supplies to form a fully sensitive vagina.

Reporter: Please Bruce. No more.  Just go to Disney World

Bruce Jenner: Other scrotal tissue forms the labia majora.

Reporter: Oh for Christ’s sakes Bruce come on!

Bruce Jenner: Lubrication is needed when having sex and occasional douching is advised so that bacteria does not start to grow and give off odors.

Reporter: Please Bruce just go to Disney World!

Bruce Jenner: Because the human body treats the new vagina as a wound some long-term maintenance of volume (vaginal dilation) by the patient, using medical graduated dilators, dildos or suitable substitutes, to keep the vagina open is often necessary.  Regular application of estrogen into the vagina may help.

Reporter: Oh god I’m going to be sick.  F*ck you Disney World!

Ms. Jenner will have to surrender her driver’s license and be ineligible to drive for ninety days.

My Exclusive Interview with the Easily Conflated Brian Williams

Whose wine? What wine?  When the hell did I die?

Whose wine? What wine? When the hell did I die?

The Brian Williams scandal keeps growing larger.  Williams, the anchor for NBC nightly news was caught telling a lie about allegedly having a helicopter he was riding in shot down while in Iraq.  He has since apologized, citing the “fog of memory.” Williams has graciously agreed to be a guest on my blog where he will tell his side of the story.

MI: Good afternoon Mr. Williams.

BW: Good afternoon Ezra Klein.  I admire your blog.

MI: Um, I’m not Ezra Klein.  I’m Manhattan Infidel.

BW: I am sorry.  I must have conflated you two.

MI: Right.  Anyway, let’s talk about why you are here. Since 2003 you have told on many occasions a story about how a helicopter you were riding in was shot down in Iraq.  It took veterans who were there coming forward to say that you were not in the helicopter for you to finally apologize for lying for over ten years.

BW: Let me say right off the bat that I was in a helicopter in Iraq but it turns out that the one I was on never was shot down.  That was another helicopter.  I must have conflated the two helicopters.  Memory is a funny thing. I must have conflated the two events.

MI: I don’t know. It seems pretty hard to confuse riding in a helicopter that wasn’t shot down with riding in one that was shot down.  I don’t see how you could confuse that.  I know that if I was riding in a helicopter that was not fired upon I wouldn’t say that it was shot down. 

[Pause]

BW: I’m Brian Williams.

MI: Yes, I know.

BW: Where’s the teleprompter? 

MI: There is none.

BW:  Now this gets to the heart of what I was saying.  That’s why we industry professionals use teleprompters.  I don’t suppose you,  a blogger with an opinion sitting at home in his pajamas has a teleprompter.

MI: Watch it mister.

BW: Do you know what I did when I got out of my shot down helicopter.

MI: You weren’t in a helicopter that was shot down.

BW: The Iraqi enemy sent me a note asking what my terms were for accepting their surrender.  I told them, “No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted.”  After that my crew started calling me “Unconditional Surrender Williams.”

MI: That wasn’t you. That was Ulysses S. Grant at Fort Donelson.

BW: Really?  I’m sorry.  I must have conflated the events.

MI: Conflate what?  That wasn’t you.  That happened during the Civil War in 1862!

BW:Memory is a funny thing. Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They’re just an interpretation, they’re not a record, and they’re irrelevant if you have the facts.

MI: Okay, Guy Pearce said that in the movie “Memento.”  And you don’t even have the facts to begin with.

BW: If we can’t make memories, we can’t heal.

MI: Guy Pearce again.

BW: Really?  I must have conflated my brave busy life with that movie.

MI: Obviously.

BW: I am very brave in war situations. It’s like when I was addressing the Third Army during the war with the Nazis. I said “Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you’ll chicken-out under fire. Don’t worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend’s face, you’ll know what to do.”

MI: [Sigh].  Again that wasn’t  you.  That was George S. Patton.

BW: I’m sorry.  I must have conflated my life with his.

MI: [Under his breath] I’m about to conflate my fist with your face.

BW: My memory again must be faulty. But who are we to judge.  I remember once I was addressing a group of people and I told them “Judge not, that you may not be judged, For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.”  Wise words to live by.  I’m glad I thought that up.

MI: That was Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount!

BW:  Jesus? It sounds quite merciful.  Are you sure it wasn’t Mohammed?  Oh well.  I guess I must have – 

MI: I am going to punch you if you say conflated one more time.  Any last words you’d like to say before I close this interview?

BW: Yes.  Tune into NBC Nighly News every night at 6:30 pm.  We report.  You decide.

MI: That’s Fox news dammit.  I’m done.  I’m out of here.

Seriously.  I think he’s conflating his ass with a hole in the ground.

Manhattan Infidel Presents the Will President Obama Attend This Event Template™

Can't a guy eat his waffle without being bothered about attending some stupid anniversary?

Can’t a guy eat his waffle without being bothered about attending some stupid anniversary?

A massive march in Paris to show solidarity against an act of terror.  The 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.  What do these two events have in common? Leaders from around the world attended.  But our President did not. With this in mind I now present the “Will President Obama Attend This Event Template™.”

A shocking act of terrorism has galvanized Europe.  World leaders will attend. Should President Obama?

  • Europe?  The only good thing about that continent are the Muslims
  • Extremism against western values is not terrorism
  • Will the Jew Netenyahu be at this event?
  • I’m eating a f*cking bagel.  Leave me alone

It is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.  Should President Obama attend?

  • You guys keep asking me to go to Europe.  I mean I’m a citizen of the world and all that but can’t a guy just relax on his sofa?
  • The terrorist Jews brought it upon themselves
  • Netenyahu will be there so I’m not going.  I don’t like that guy.  He’s mean to me
  • Seriously?  It’s the weekend

The Governor of Texas has extended an invitation to see the humanitarian crisis at the Mexican border. Should Obama attend?

  • The only crisis is Texas won’t let those future Democratic voters into the country
  • There would be no crisis if we didn’t have borders
  • This smacks of politics.  I am above politics and cheap, theatrical photo ops
  • Stop asking me to do stuff!

President Obama has been invited to see for himself that the Keystone Pipeline will not cause massive environmental damage.  Should he attend?

  • That’s in the Midwest isn’t it?  Probably no celebrities to hob nob with.
  • We must replace oil with wind power funded by corporations the Feds decide are worthy of grants
  • Sounds like those racist Republicans are trying to embarrass me!  El Presidente!
  • Look I’ve already had the White House chef cook me a pizza.  Maybe next time

ESPN has invited President Obama to give his picks for the NCAA tournament. Should he attend?

  • Finally!  An event worthy of my talents.
  • Seriously.  I am a genius
  • Eat my dust President Bush.  ESPN never invited YOU to give your picks.
  • I hope they give me court side tickets to the final four.  This is what a President should be doing!
  • I’ve already informed the leaders of Europe not to bother me during March Madness

 

And there you have it readers.  I hope this handy template will help you better determine whether our President should attend an event.

The Mystery of Left SharkGate Scandal Tarnishes SuperBowl

Is Left Shark Gate the scandal that will finally bring down the NFL?

Is Left Shark Gate the scandal that will finally bring down the NFL?

For once the Superbowl lived up to its hype and the winner wasn’t determined until the final half minute. But for those who watched the half time show with Katy Perry a scandal erupted that threatens to bring down the NFL and America with it.

During songstress Katy Perry’s show she was surrounded by a shark on her left and one her right.  However the shark on her left did not seem to know what was going on.

What could be the possible explanation?  Was it just a case of hiring a dancer at the last minute who did not have time to rehearse? Or is the explanation more sinister?

Having spent the last three days in my bedroom repeatedly viewing Ms. Perry’s half time performance and subsisting only on CheeseIts and using Tupperware to store my bowel movements I believe that I have gotten to the bottom of this scandal:

Miss Perry is sending a distress signal to America! 

Fact: Katy Perry was once married to noted political philosopher Russell Brand (pictured here).

Not Russell Brand

Not Russell Brand

My apologies.  That was Charles Manson. This is Russell Brand.

Might be Charles Manson

Might be Charles Manson

Russell Brand is known for his socialist views and is an advocate of forced redistribution of wealth.  Could Miss Perry have ordered her left shark to dance out of sync with the right shark as a subtle way of warning America about the danger of forced wealth redistribution?

Nonsense you say?  Consider that the State is everywhere. Assume they monitor all our electronic communication.  Assume that the socialist welfare state is a historical inevitability. How else could brave Katy warn us?

Fact:  The omnipotent and all powerful nanny state that is modern America keeps tabs on all its citizens. If this is so then there is only one explanation for the mysterious figure in the lower left of the background of this picture.

Is the  man in the background the second left shark?

Is the man in the background the second left shark?

A figure that seems to be keeping a very close eye on Miss Perry.  Could this be a Federal employee, perhaps from the NSA, tasked with keeping tabs on her?  Does he perhaps have orders to shoot to kill if Perry somehow would let slip an improvised lyric warning America of its dire situation? Could he perhaps have a poison-filled umbrella tip ready to kill the left shark?

Fact:  I have never had sex with Katy Perry but have always wanted to.  Perhaps Miss Perry was signaling to me that if I became the hero she knows I can be and saved America from forced wealth redistribution she will allow me to fulfill my sexual fantasies?  The clean ones I mean.  The ones not involving clowns, stair masters or Stockard Channing.

Fact:  Katy Perry has not been seen in public since her half time show.  I can sadly only assume that the State was on to her left shark ruse and has taken her into custody where they are currently torturing her with clowns and stair masters.

If this is so then know Miss Perry that we stand united with you!  Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Freedom lovers everywhere salute you Katy Perry!

Freedom lovers everywhere salute you Katy Perry!

Katy Perry, lovers of freedom everywhere salute you!

Kanye West To Become a Woman; Plans to Document Transition on TV

George Bush don't care about lactating!

I always felt like a female rapper in a male rapper’s body.

Controversial rap superstar and husband of Kim Kardashian ended months of speculation today by announcing that he is in the process of transitioning to life as a woman.

West’s changing appearance has been a source of much tabloid speculation in recent months. A source close to the Kardashian’s told People Magazine that “Kanye is transitioning.”

We are all very happy for him. Kanye was in a very dark place before but now he’s finally accepting and happy. He’s in a great space.

Kanye’s first step towards becoming a fully functioning woman took place last year when he had a procedure known as a “Laryngal Shave” to smooth out his Adam’s apple.

Kanye is now far along in the process and has taken hormones to help grow breasts.

I remember when his breasts first appeared. He was so excited. Like a school boy almost!  And when he started lactating he was over the moon. I remember him telling me, “George Bush don’t care about lactating!”

People Magazine reports that most of the Kardashian’s are on board with the change, the only holdout being Kanye’s wife Kim.

She was a more than a little freaked out to but it mildly. She started running around the house and shouting “My husband is going to cut his penis off!” She was really upset over the possibility that when Kanye becomes a woman he might be prettier than her.

Kim was also worried that their sex life might be affected by Kanye’s decision.

She had to sit down with Kanye and talk about her fears. Kanye told her that he enjoys sex with women, has always enjoyed sex with women and will continue in the future to enjoy sex with women.  Only now he will be doing it as a woman. Kim was only slightly pacified by this.  “If I wanted to be a lesbian I’d join the WNBA or become a woman’s soccer player” she said.

Kanye’s decision to become a woman has also created tension with family patriarch Bruce Jenner, who is himself going through a transition to living as a woman.

Kanye is very competitive.  When Bruce announced he was becoming a woman Kanye was pretty upset that he didn’t think of doing it first.  Things have been very tense between the two since Kanye announced he was also transitioning.  Bruce thinks Kanye is trying to “out-transition” him and might get better ratings on his reality show. Yesterday they showed up at a party wearing the same clothes and, well, you can guess what happened next. They started clawing at each other.  Then Kanye ripped Bruce’s blouse off and laughed at him and said, “My breasts are larger than yours.”  We had to separate them.

Kanye for his part feels that Bruce is just psychologically disturbed while he is doing the transition for noble motives.

“Black transsexuals lack the access white transsexuals do.”

Kanye’s reality TV show, “Becoming a Woman, Bitch!” will debut in April on Lifetime.

Manhattan Infidel Presents: Historical Inaccuracies in History Channel’s Sons of Liberty

My wife has a penis!

My wife has a penis!

Like many of my readers I am something of a history buff so when the History Channel announced that they would be airing a miniseries entitled “Sons of Liberty” focusing on Sam Adams and Paul Revere I had to watch. Alas I was sadly disappointed.  The miniseries was rife with historical inaccuracies.  Granted, it wasn’t as inaccurate as “William Howard Taft: Pole Dancer” or “Herbert Hoover: Gay and Proud” but the inaccuracies were jarring enough to dampen my enjoyment of the show.

And so for any of my readers who did not see the show I now present a partial listing of the inaccuracies of said miniseries.

  • Sam Adams was not married to a transsexual

The miniseries implies that Adams’ wife had a penis. While this is possible the prevailing historical evidence suggests that both of Adams’ wives were biologically female.  A representative for the History Channel says the change was made to “make the story more interesting to modern Americans.”

  • Sam Adams did not invent the Jukebox

The miniseries strongly implies that Adams was a drunk who invented the jukebox as a way of increasing profits at his pubs.  In one scene an inebriated Adams is seen waving a ten dollar bill and shouting “F*ck Michael Jackson I just want to put some Beatles on the Jukebox!”

  • Sam Adams was not an advocate of gun control

The miniseries lays claim to having Adams start the first gun control club in the colonies.  “We’re playing with fire with these muzzle-loading flintlock muskets!  Why a man can fire one round every 60 seconds!”  The miniseries also has him calling for banning all “assault flintlocks.”

  • Sam Adams did not write Stairway to Heaven

Okay, so I’m prepared to cut the History Channel some slack on this one.  No one knows who Led Zeppelin originally stole Stairway to Heaven from.  And recently discovered among Adams’ papers was this poem:

If there’s an Englishman in your Hedgerow, you better be alarmed now

It’s General Gage and his troops

Yes there are two paths you can hide in but in the long run

There’s still time to ride out and warn the colonials

So again, it may be plausible.  However I don’t think he ever forced a groupie to have sex with a shark.

  • Paul Revere did not use a Prius during his famous midnight ride

In the miniseries Paul Revere as he was about to ride out to warn that the British regulars were coming grabbed the keys to the Prius he had in his driveway.  “I want to warn people.  But I want to do it in an environmentally sound way” he says.

  • George Washington did not represent the patriarchy

The miniseries strongly implies that Washington rebelled against the British because he thought they were going to give women the right to vote. “I don’t women to vote. I want to rape them” he tells one of his generals.

  • John and Abigail Adams did not practice Gender Fluidity

In the series John Adams is often seen in private wearing women’s clothing while Abigail wore the clothing of a man.  “Yes!  Oh god yes!  You know I want it Abby” he was quoted as saying as Abigail used her strap on to penetrate his anus.

And these were just a few of the historical inaccuracies.  I suggest watching it on Netflix for the full historically inaccurate treatment.

Dagwood Bumstead Dead of Heart Attack!

Seen here in a file photo,Dagwood Bumstead collapsed and died today

Seen here in a file photo,Dagwood Bumstead collapsed and died today

Dagwood Bumstead, office manager at the J.C. & Dithers construction company, died at his home today of an apparent heart attack minutes after finished one of his patented “Bumstead” sandwiches.  First responders at the scene tried desperately to revive him as his shattered wife, Blondie looked on.

“We tried everything” said a paramedic.

But given his unhealthy lifestyle, I mean we found nothing but uneaten sandwiches next to him, it is a wonder that he lasted this long.

According to Bumstead’s wife, he had just returned from the kitchen carrying one of his sandwiches

The sandwich Mr. Bumstead was eating when he died

The sandwich Mr. Bumstead was eating when he died

when he collapsed on the sofa.

“He often takes long naps on the sofa so at first I thought nothing was wrong” she said.

But after 20 minutes he hadn’t touched his sandwich. Usually after that time he’s in the kitchen making a second one.  I knew something was wrong and that’s when I called for an ambulance.  I warned him that his diet was unhealthy.  I tried to get him to eat better. One time I put some kale on his plate.  He said, “What the hell is this crap” and threw it at my head.  That was when I first realized that the man I married had a vicious temper.  It was around that time that I started experimenting with women.

When informed of Bumstead’s death, his boss J.C. Dithers expressed remorse but not surprise.

I tried to get Bumstead to live healthier.  Try eating something healthy I always told him.  Join an exercise program. I mean for God’s sake I was paying for his f*cking health insurance the least the lazy son of a bitch could do was buy a stairmaster.  If he had lived longer perhaps he would have listened to me.  I know he was concerned that Blondie didn’t find him sexually appealing anymore.  His diet led to arteriosclerosis which in turn led to his erectile dysfunction.  That’s when Blondie started asking me for sexual favors.  She was starved for some physical affection. But perhaps I’ve said too much.  I could tell you things.  It was a very unhappy marriage.  It’s a good things he’s dead or they might have killed each other.

Dithers has promised to pay all funeral costs and is also going to buy stairmasters for all his employees.

“I ain’t paying these sons of bitches to die am I?”

King Andrew, Lord Mayor Wilhelm Jr. Have “Absolutely No Regrets” Over Shutting Down New York City

As benevolent rulers we keep the best interests of the common people in mind at all times.

As benevolent rulers we keep the best interests of the common people in mind at all times.

Monday as New York City braced itself for a potential blizzard King Andrew Cuomo of New York and Lord Mayor Warren Wilhelm Jr. made a controversial decision:  Subways, the lifeline of the city, will be shut down. As the world now knows the so-called “Blizzard of 2015” was a bust, leaving only six inches of snow in the city.  I sat down with the duo to discuss their decision and the reasoning behind it.

MI: Good afternoon. Let’s start the question everyone wants to know. Why did you shut down the subways?  In New York City, where many do not own cars, the subways are often the only way to get to work. Businesses lost money as they had to stay shut because employees could not get to work.  And it was known long before the 8 am decision to get the trains running again that the city was not hit hard.  Why were the subways shut and why wasn’t the decision to get them back up not made earlier?

KAC: You may address me as Your Lordship.

LMWWJ: I’m tall.

MI: No I won’t to the former and the latter is irrelevant.  But back to the point. We’ve had blizzards before in 1995, 2000 and 2010 with over 20 inches of snow and the subways were not shut down.  Even if we had been hit hard I ask again why shut the subways down? It’s winter.  It snows. 

KAC: Let me address your question you impudent commoner.

LMWWJ: Is this going to take long?  I feel a nap coming on.

KAC: Back to your assertion that it always so-called “snows” in so-called “winter.” You are incorrect on this point. But that is nothing to be ashamed of.  You are not elite like I am. It is our belief, and the science will back me up on this, that the snow is the direct result of climate change and the end of the world.

MI:  I’m sorry.  Did you say the end of the world?

LMWWJ: My son has an Afro.

KAC: It’s okay Warren.  I’ll take care of this.  Yes.  Snow in winter is not normal.  I have a team of scientists, weather reporters the common man calls them, who inform me that according to their calculations the world was going to end on January 27th.  I shut down the subways and ordered cars off the streets to make it easier for people like the Lord Mayor and myself to escape to our Life Ship.

MI: It’s not the end of the world.  

LMWWJ: I’m taller than you.  That mean’s I’m smarter.  And it is the end of the world just like Andy said.

MI:  What the hell are you two talking about? And what’s a Life Ship?

KAC: Well, the ancient Mayan prophesy was correct.  They were only off by a couple years. Did you see the movie 2012?

MI: The one with John Cusack? Yeah it sucked.

KAC:  After I saw that I dedicated my life to building an Arc just like in the movie so I could survive.  Why do you think New York State is so heavily in debt?

MI: High taxes, productive people fleeing, out of control spending?

KAC: No.  I snuck in a bill to build a 20 billion dollar Arc.  It is now ready for deployment.  I will board it with my wife and other elites and we will use it to survive the coming destruction of Earth.  Once the danger is over we will build a new society based on equality, high taxes and wealth redistribution.

MI: But who goes into the Life Boat?

KAC: Why the elite of society.  The best and brightest.  Scientists, engineers, doctors, Russell Brand.

MI: But what about me?  What about the others?

KAC: Naturally we will need workers to do the necessary hard labor of building a new society.  You will be tied to the land.  In return for ten percent of your produce I will provide protection from rival warlords.

MI: I am so glad I never voted for either of you.

KAC: Oh, well then you won’t be getting into the Arc.  My Vassals will have to put you to death.

MI: Right. One last thing.  Have you been taking your medication?

KAC: Shhh!  You hear that?

MI: What?
