A.G.E's Joint

In the Board Room of Devil’s Quill Corporation outside Arlington VA, A special Board of Directors meeting has been called. Lucifer J Beezlebub, CEO, resplendent in a new red suit, approaches the podium.   “Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I’m glad all of you were able to take the time for this meeting on such a short notice. Things are progressing quickly and it is important to bring you up to date on our latest initiative “Nixon Two, Electric Boogaloo.”    As you are aware, I brought Richard on board from Seraph’s Ice Fields because of his unique technical ability in the field of political subterfuge. Well, the sands of time are just about up and I want Richard to detail out where we have been and where we are now.”    Smatters of applause come from around the table as the ashen faced skeletor walks up. Wiping his brow as he adjusts his blue tie, he clears his throat.    “Thank you, Mr. Beezelbub. Nice tie. Thor’s hammer over...

The first day of the Republican National Convention is in the books. Based on what I saw last night, this fiasco looked like it was put together by this guy: Doesn't he look like a political maven? Innuendo and character assassination is common in politics, but Trump and company is taking it to new levels. Trump calling a rival an embarrassment is just another look in the mirror for him. Look At Little Sister! she copied and pasted the “enemy’s” speech is just another piece of the show. Are you not (politically) entertained?   I guess it has become a flight of fancy to think there are any political leaders that care about peace...or love...or anything but fiddling while the world burns. George Carlin called elections an illusion of choice. Make the masses feel somewhat better that they think they have a (small) say in the matter. He only scratched the surface. This whole mess looks like the fight scene in Idiocracy . Our “choices” boil down to: A mi...

  In the Devil's Quill executive conference room in Arlington VA, Richard Nixon and the top operations directors are having their weekly status meeting. Richard Nixon: "O.K., folks. Let's settle down and get to business. Marty, can you give us a status report on the new employee recruiting process? Marty Mammon: "Certainly. Things are better than expected. This new internet tool has been instrumental in capturing even the hardest cases. We've reduced Maker's intake load by 30%, while increasing our call centers capacity by an almost like amount." Nixon: "Excellent. Beezlebub said you were the best at building tests." Mammon: "Been at it a long time, Sir. One thing I have always taken to heart was something an old guy told me. 'It ain't over until it's over'" Nixon: "Ah, Yogi..." Mammon: "No, Sir. Berra stole that from one of my earliest projects, Job. I thought that guy would never quit...

In a lush executive suite in Arlington VA "So, Dick, you are telling me the sabotage plan for the election is almost complete?" " That is right, Sir. We sent our best people to populate both sides." "This...Hilary...I know her husband served us well, but frankly I have never had much luck with women in power." "Don't worry, Mr. Beezelbub, she'll make my record look statesman-like before we are done." "I  hope so.You were so bad, you gave Devil's Quill a good reputation." "I'll take that as a compliment, Sir." "Now, the others. It looks like the old Jew's run out of gas." "Yeah, but he did make for a good distraction with all the old Marx stuff." "Now, on the other side, it looks like you have two of our best cancelling each other out. Why was that?" "Smoke and mirrors, Sir. The whole scheme is based on the flock being divided into multiple camps....
