If I won the Powerball lottery, what would I do?

More to the point, when is Hollywood going to do the Jim Robinson story? Who’ll play him? I’m thinking John Goodman could do a good a credible JimRob. Maybe do a hybrid reality/comedy series on FR – ala ‘The Office’. Lets call it “The Basement’. We have to get Dwight Shrute written into this. Let the creative geniuses at FR supply the story lines. Here’s one of my personal favorites (perhaps the inspiration for JimRob’s screed?):

Patriot Action Plan

1)Hug your conservative wife and conservative children. Jettison all liberal or Rino leaning children. 2) Buy more firearms and ammunition 3) Buy bullion ( Silver rounds appear to be best value) 4) Turn off your TV. Ingest no media other than FR. 5) Rediscover yourself, not in a washed out hippie looking at your life’s devastation way, but review your accomplishments. You are a valued member of FR society. 6) Obtain Crusade outfit/ Store 7) Buy a new American Flag 8) Read a book on the American revolution. Adams or Angle in the Whilwind. 9) Go to Barnes and Noble and take out all the subscription cards to Time and Newsweek and mail them in for processing. It costs them $4 to process each piece of litter. 10) Await The Call. Somebody important must step up and make it.

WELCOME TO THE MIS-INFORMATION AGE!!!

I can just imagine the Freeper march, in the heat of late-summer DC… they’ll be screaming for socialized medicine as quickly as one can say “heatstroke”.

Let’s burn some shit down! Seventeenth Amendment? Fuck that noize – the Constitution is Teh SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND!!!ones1 We’re gonna burn down all teh amendments. Burn ‘em to the ground!

I guess that something like this could happen over the course of the next couple of years, but could someone please explain to me what the hell they’re talking about? Did I miss something during the last six months? Have we already started herding the wingnuts into the FEMA re-education camps without my being able to get in on it?

The real horror is, government started talking about something other than warporn fantasies and made little war-fappers MAAAAD.

Actually, looking at it more closely, this is really all about throwing the bums out and burning this shit to the ground. There’s no real plan for afterwards, just anti-establishment nihlism. Sign me up!

Cue Tenacious D’s “City Hall.”

All you people up there in City Hall,
You’re fuckin’ it up for the people that’s in the streets.
This is a song for the people in the streets,
Not the people City Hall.
All you motherfuckers in the streets it’s time to rise up, up up up
Come along children and fuckin’ rise!

Lots of times when me and KG are watchin’
All the fuckin’ shit that goes down at City Hall,
We get the feeling we should fuck shit up,
Yeah we should fuckin’ start a riot.
A Riot!

We have ‘em screaming in the streets,
we have ‘em tippin’ over shit and breakin’ fuckin’ windows of small businesses,
and settin’ fuckin’ fires!
and settin’ fuckin’ fires!
and settin’ fuckin’ fires!

I think it would be much more intimidating if they all armed themselves with potato(e) guns and marshmallow shooters painted black. Then they have snacks for when they get hungry. Also.

The thinking is that they then get to go out and shoot brown people patriotically.

PARADISE!

If only for watching the brainsplosions.

You know, it’s funnier if you take a look at what they are actually proposing. Let’s put on the magical Freeper-world glasses (eeewww, smells like POOP) and track through the consequences of The Entire US Federal Government closing up shop, firing everyone, and then enacting the measure proposed by angry internets trolls.

1. Preznit “Interim CEO” Hillary.
2. “Interim Senate” elected by State Legislatures – ending up with a partisan make-up of 70D-30R.
3. New elections for the House. Polling (although this is dominated by “unbiased” Rasmussen) indicates > possible shrinkage of the Dem majority – but a Democratic majority nonetheless.
4. The entirety of the rest of the incoherent ranting is basically the Michele Bachmann Theory of the US Constitution. i.e. Despite their so-called Federalist position, they want to abolish any institution without a Constitutional basis (except the frigging ginormous standing army). Hey douchewads, Geithner even managed to answer this one correctly. All those institutions you’re railing against are authorized by your very own precious Article One – i.e. Acts of Congress.

So, net effect? 10 more Democratic senators at the expense of ten or so Democratic Representatives & Preznit Hillary. Somehow I don’t think this is going to slow Health Care reform down very much.
