Monument to Massive Hypocrisy

RECEIVED Fri., Jan. 18, 2013

Dear Editor,
    I’m personally really glad that the city of Austin is not changing the name of the Lying Cheating Bully Bikeway. We should definitely keep the name, because we need a monument to massive hypocrisy. We need a shining beacon, framed with the beautiful scenery of our fine city, that reminds us all of the shame that emanates from the sick, corrupted power structure that siphons off all of our country’s labor and wealth to the big banks and the other thieves and cheaters who will do anything for profit in the name of greed. And a long strip of land named after a sociopath who makes a “confession” devoid of any remorse for his actions is an effective and awesome focus on that. Thanks, Austin City Council, and a tip of the hat to you! Please keep the name. All we ask in return is that we just get to keep calling it the Lying Cheating Bully Bikeway, and we get to think about that every time we ride our bicycles on it, as it will serve as a constant reminder that will help us all concentrate our collective energy against everything that is wrong with our plutocracy dominated by lying cheating bullies. I hope that more public events occur on the Lying Cheating Bully Bikeway, and that people from around the country and even around the world will visit our beautiful Lying Cheating Bully Bikeway when they come to Austin, and I hope that they will broadcast the superlative word of its beauty and splendor back to their communities. Maybe there can even be an annual candlelight vigil there to celebrate the power of the people triumphing over every possible vile and corrupt impulse that rapes our economy in service of money and power. I have a dream …
