COMEDY &POLITICS-multiple gods on multiple channels

Both take over the Washington space for public gatherings
one to deride the other to debunk/both involve values
Are we to laugh at the absurdity of beliefs?
or cry when those fundamental beliefs are violated?
Separation of Church and State finds internecine churches
while the state beggars belief on every dimension
hence Tea Party promises of shrunken heads of government
while running for public office only to destroy belief in same
Physics posits multiple universes simultaneous in time and space
We can entertain contradictory positions via philosophy and religion
"First the execution,then the sentence!"says the French Revolution
followed by Mao and those Killing Fields of Kampuchea
all of which posited belief in change at a basic social level
(After the Russian Revolution,one million people died-of starvation)
(Mao's backyard furnaces for energy independence made bag pig iron)
(Quantitative Easing is printing paper forest of money without value-
all are posited upon beliefs .All prove false.All belief is false
Observation shows that we like quick fixes/easy answers
Hard gods demand sacrifice-especially of their followers
Beliefs of our times(HOPE! CHANGE!)are empty politics
The physics of crowd estimation meets the philosophy of rationality
Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber vote early and often
Name 10 politicians whose words and actions coincide
Then count the numbers @any Rally To Restore(fill in the blank)
May many gods and goddesses secure your early voting
Every cliche has been recycled by its polar icecap opposite
SUBVERT THE DOMINANT PARADIGM becomes dominant
Advertising works!"I am not a witch.."Don't Tread On Me!
Soon beautiful chaos will become more than a theory
Philosophy will restore both Diogenes and Socrates
but this time,they just might"kill all the lawyers!"
