Goose-Shredder Still Missing; World Continues Turning

[Ed. Note: Shit Shit Shit Okay Ovaltine Goose-Shredder is still missing. See where the part of the article where someone says something smart isn't there? That's where OGS would be. Maybe no one will notice anything is missing. Fuck, would that be good or bad? Uhhhhhhhmmmmmm. Look, we need to find this guy, in both a personal and professional sense. PAJ kind of flounders when he's not around and that makes me feel bad. That's the personal sense. In the professional sense, PAJ's Workman's Comp file has tripled over the last week, along with the premiums. If we could afford that we would have our own domain. Jheeeeesus. Miss ya Goosie! Come back soon! Please!]



Newly re-elected US President Barack Obama carried his slogan of 'Hope and Change' into his second term in his inaugural address last week, scaring the hell out of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). Obama's plans for his public mandate have been taken by Boenher as an earnest intent to commit full on assault against the Republican Party, with an end goal of complete destruction. “[The Democrats will] attempt to annihilate the Republican Party. And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.” he said in a speech to the Ripon Society Wednesday, outraged over Obama trying to do anything at all and outlining the new level of ineffectiveness the Republican Party would rather the Democrats sink to.

Piss Awesome Journalism caught up with Citizen Danny outside the Coveant Garden Market early Thursday for his take on Boehner's reaction. “Look at the spelling! Say it phonetically! That dude's name is Boner! Maroon! What a maroon!” Danny needed a few minutes before he could be coaxed into a comment worth printing. “Is he surprised that the guy elected president would try and do something with it? I thought the whole point was that those two oppose each other and whatever comes out of it is what runs the country.” His comment touches on the fact that Boehner's idea of the Obama presidency doesn't leave room for Obama to actually act on any of the tenants that he campaigned on, or really acknowledge Boehner's own position as the opposition.

Many people have taken Boehner's use of the word annihilate to be overblown and hyperbolic, distracting from actual issues Boehner could have discussed instead, like talking about policy matters instead of the President blowing up the Republican party, which given the history of their two party system seems mostly impossible. Local Outragee Sandra disagrees that Boehner's rhetoric is overblown, shrieking “Obama can annihilate things, he'll just send one of his drones! He can do that! They're in the sky right now! It's that easy!” Despite Obama's drones, Democratic pundits are quick to disagree that they could do anything more to annihilate the Republican Party, pointing to the Republican representatives talk of “legitimate rape”, and Cathrynn Brown (R-NM) proposing a bill that would make it a felony for a woman to abort a foetus conceived as a result of rape, as evidence that Republicans will annihilate themselves just fine on their own.

Despite the fact that they are quickly destroying themselves through shockingly irresponsible ideas, Republican strategists have already begun looking towards the next election. “We need to get people organized and learn from what Obama did,” says former national party chairman Mike Duncan, “We’ve got to reverse engineer what they did and leapfrog to the next cycle.” Despite this plan of action, most analysts agree that there's no way in hell that the Republican Party will make themselves more liberal, even if it would make the party a better reflection of what America actually is.
