"How Grand Socialism Is!"

"Ooh it’s good, ah it’s good":
How grand, the vinalon fabric pours out like a waterfall

How grand, the Juche iron glows like a fiery sunrise

My socialist homeland overflows with joy

Ooh it’s good, ah it’s good

The day of living well draws nigh

How grand socialism is!
Just some Sunday morning propaganda, submitted for your approval. I know what you're wondering: What is "vinalon"? It's the "national synthetic fiber" of North Korea.

I know it's a comic book (graphic novel), but I highly recommend Pyongyang by Guy Delisle:

"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd.

North Korea has nothing over us. We own national synthetic fiber.

"...draws nigh."


It's just around the corner. Really.

How grand, the stimulus pours out like a waterfall
How grand, the Juche health-care glows like a fiery sunrise
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm

So we will all soon be clad in dull gray vinalon wearing funny looking glasses, overflowing with joy living well on the government dole. Welfare will set you free!

Contrived enthusiasm for a brutally enforced orthodoxy.

Like Freshman Orientation, except for life.

It really is hard to imagine a place like North Korea.

We won't have to use our imagination before long.

Why are conservatives always looking for an excuse to be belligerent? Always looking to bomb another sovereign nation...

Congressman Cantor: Mister President, could you admonish your supporters not to shoot out anymore of my office windows?

B Hussein O: You can kiss my black ass you hate speechifyin' Jewboy!

I wonder how vinalon tastes with mustard? I'm sure it's the Norks' favorite food these days.

The way things are looking, it may be ours, too, eventually.

Today's talking point at DU(h), no doubt.

Not really Allen. It's not very different from imagining what things must be like inside some people's very own heads.

AllenS said...

And yours is filled with vinalon.

Alex-

I would gladly bomb North Korea back into the stone age if they weren't already there.

There's not much more I hate in this world than hermetic socialist dictatorships headed by egomaniacal douchebags.

Seriously, when is someone going to step up and take this guy out?

It's not that hard to imagine what NK is like. I just think of what it's like in your dark, dank basement as you typed that.

I want an American flag made of Kevlar (our national synthetic fiber).
