BS: What would Chongo's administration be like?

With the likelihood growing more certain year by year that Chongo Chimp and the APP will soon sweep aside the ever more corrupt Big Two parties, and march triumphantly to power in Washington, thereby finally placing a REAL chimp (as opposed to the recent G.W. Bush) in the Oval Office, speculation has become rampant as to how this might affect the governance of the USA and the country in general.

On the one hand we have enthusiastic proponents of Chongo Chimp who insist that his election will usher in a new era of peace, tolerance, prosperity, and goodwill.

On the other, we have his bitter enemies (most of them funded by the Big Two parties and the military-industrial complex) who insist that it will be a catastrophe comparable to the Fall of the Roman Empire.

Surely the truth lies somewhere between these 2 extremes?

Some think it might end up looking a bit like...this .

Well, let's see???

Monkey poo on the floor of the Oval Office???

No fear of incoming gunshots at the White House and Lafayette Park being closed for fear of gunshots outgoing from the White House???

"Lemme fly this sucker" to the pilot of Air Force One???

Banana trees in the the rose garden???

"I wonder what this button does?"???

No thanks...

No, he'd be beholden to Others. Politicians always are. He'd be no different. If it's not the Illuminati it'd be the Bohemian Club or the Freemasons or the Elks.

Sadly, that is probably correct, Rap. He'd either follow the usual obedient route for the major interests around him, like they all do...or he'd go down in a blaze of gunfire that would leave him AND the White House looking like a piece of Swiss cheese might have looked after the bombing of Dresden.

If the latter, it would certainly secure him a place in history that would never be forgotten.

The Democrats and Republicans have been putting absolutely scurrilous and unconscionable attack ads on TV to damage Chongo's reputation! Here is one of the worst of them...

another specist attack ad

Note that they refer to Chongo with the stereotypical specist label of "monkey", despite the fact that he is really an ape, not a monkey.

A Chongo administration would probably be similar to that of Ulysses S. Grant. Lots of whiskey drinking, cigar smoking, and scandal with a fair amount of incompetence, graft, and corruption thrown in to break the monotony.

Last week, on a regular hand-shaking visit to the local farmer's market, Chongo mistakenly bought plantains rather than his normal bananas-which some politically and enviromentally-correct chimps prefer to eat, though they must be properly prepared, of course.

Will Chongo openly endorse banana's or plantains? Free trade, environmenrtally sustainable plantains are preferred by some chimps, over the corporately controled banana's (younbg chimps often leave chimp school early to pick them for low wagwes).

But, there is the lucrative banana lobby money from United Fruit to consider in the banana-plantain endorsement decision?

"Even though plantains are bland tasting as year old shit, I will eat them, dressed up with condiments, if they get me more lobby dollars and votes", Chongo was reported as saying to a close staffer, last week.

Actually, it is quite true that honest work does make a person free, as anyone who's ever done any honest work knows.

The mere fact that the Nazis grossly misused that statement (by placing it above the gates of concentration camps) does not make the statement evil in itself. It's a true statement in itself, but they used it for an untrue and evil purpose. That can easily be done with just about any true statement if you use it in a dishonest fashion.

No it's not, Chonglue. You're badly mistaken about that. You are not an American citizen and neither is LH, to cite just one example. Unlike LH, you could never qualify because US citizenship requires that one know certain basic things about the US and you don't know them. These are Big Secret Things, like where JFK and Marilyn Monroe and Bob Hope and the crew of the USS Thresher and all the guys who were supposedly killed in Vietnam REALLY are and what the eye on the Great Seal of the US is actually looking at. Since you could never, ever, comprehend this stuff you are not and can never be an American citizen

Amos experiences the delusion that when I speak on Chongo's behalf, I am really speaking on my own behalf. This is not so. Chongo's values are not mine, they are his own. This is also true of Shane McBride, as anyone with half a brain can clearly grasp. All my created characters, once created, have their own unique identity, their own unique psychology, and they are NOT alternative versions of me anymore than a variety of characters in Amos's recently published novel are alternative versions of Amos. They each have their own independent being, they each march to their own drummer, they each live for their own dreams. I am merely the scribe who sometimes records their adventures. Other times, they speak for themselves...and I witness the process, often shaking my head at their wisdom...or their folly...as the case may be.

This just in: Chongo totally lost his temper at a press conference this morning and launched a furious tirade against Nigerians. He swore that his first act as president will be to send in the Sixth Fleet and bomb Nigeria "back into the stone age"! Pundits are scrambling to make sense out of this sudden radical shift in Chongo's stance on foreign affairs and war policy. (He had previously vowed to end all foreign wars, close overseas bases, and bring the troops home.)

****

In a separate announcement, the Republican Party has issued a statement praising Chongo for his latest foreign policy statement. Word on the street is that the Republicans are now considering "viable strategies" for wooing Chongo away from the APP ticket and getting him to run for the Republicans instead! "He is a man...ummm...an animal we feel we can trust to represent the true interests of America and not back down from dire foreign threats to our liberty and our way of life," said an anonymous Republican spokesman. "Unlike Romney, he takes a definite stand. Unlike Santorum, he's not afraid to bite the hand that feeds him. He wants to send in the Marines and the Navy and kick some ass. How can we possibly go wrong with this guy? I say it's Chongo all the way in 2012!"

Why is Chongo mad at the Nigerians?
