...THAT WAS ESA-PEKKA SALONEN CONDUCTING THE SWEDISH RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA..
WASH
HIS RICH DAD ALSO USED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO KEEP GEORGE OUT OF VIETNAM, AND EVENTUALLY TO GET HIMINTO POLITICS. SO NOW, AS PRESIDENT, HE CAN HELP OTHER RICH PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM HUMONGOUS TAX CUTS! IT'S AN EXPANDING CIRCLE OF OPPORTUNITY!
ENUFFA THIS CRAP, MOM. TIME FOR MY STATION.
YOU'RE MESSING WITH MY HEAD AGAIN, RIGHT?
AWAITING THE HIGH COURT'S UPCOMING RULINGS ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND SODOMY. TODAY'S FCC DECISION IN FAVOR OF MEDIA GIANTS HAS BEEN A BOON TO ALL MANKIND...
OKAY, OKAY. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS A WAY TO GIVE WOMEN AND MINORITIES A FAIR CHANCE TO BECOME RICH, POWERFUL REPUBLICANS, SO THEY CAN HELP PROTECT OTHER RICH, POWERFUL PEOPLE FROM THE SURLY POOR FOLKS WHO ARE ALWAYS WAGING "CLASS WAR" ON THEM.
AUNDER MY THUMB...
WHAT'S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?
GOOD QUESTION, RAFFI.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS A WAY TO GIVE CERTAIN PEOPLE A CHANCE TO DO THINGS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE ON THEIR OWN IN AN UNFAIR WORLD.
FOR EXAMPLE, PRESIDENT BUSH WASN'T AS SMART AS LOTS OF OTHER APPLICANTS TO YALE, BUT THEY LET HIM IN ANYWAY BECAUSE HIS DAD AND GRAMPA WENT THERE.
...EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE THEY RE-REGULATE THE RADIO INDUSTRY, BASED ON THE ABSURD CLAIM...
...THAT OWNERSHIP HAS BECOME TOO CONCENTRATED. I'M RICH WHITE, CLEAR CHANNEL WORLD-WIDE NEWS.
AND THESE ARE YOUR CLEAR CHANNEL CLASSIC ROCK STATIONS, FROM 89.6 TO 108.3 ON THE RADIO DIAL.
WITHOUT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, COLIN POWELL MIGHT NOT HAVE BECOME A BIG GENERAL, WHICH MEANS HIS SON MICHAEL MIGHT NOT HAVE BECOME HEAD OF THE FCC AND GIVEN THE PUBLIC AIRWAVES AWAY TO THOSE BIG COMPANIES.
AND SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR MIGHT NEVER HAVE MADE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT, WHERE SHE JUST MAY DECIDE TO GET RID OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ALTOGETHER!
THAT WAS FUN, RAF. WE SHOULD HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS.
WHAT'S SODOMY?
LET'S ROLL
ON WITH THE
STONES.
