Inky Is No Pravda

Pravda was once one of the house organs of the communists who ruled the Soviet Union and hence became a punchline for jokes concerning the twisting of reality for the sake of propaganda.

The sobriquet “Pravda West” became used for American old-media institutions like  The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times because they showed the same propensity regarding the reporting of matters involving liberal causes and the Democratic Party.

Well it looks like we can no longer use that phrase anymore. Check out this article from Pravda.ru: Americans never give up your guns.

The world has certainly turned upside down.

Just wanted to let you know that today I received  my Fiscal Cliff Survival Pack from the White House.
 
It contained

  • a parachute,
  • a ‘Obama Hope & Change’ bumper sticker,
  • a ‘Bush’s Fault’ poster,
  •  a ‘Blame Boehner’ poster,
  •  a “Tax the Rich’ poster,
  • an application for unemployment,
  • an application for food stamps,
  • a prayer rug,
  • a letter of assignation of debt to my grandchildren
  • and a machine to blow smoke up my a**.

 
All directions were in Spanish.
