Imagine if you fell into a coma for 10 years and teabaggers took over the US
Edited on Mon Jun-07-10 11:51 AM by ck4829
Here are some news stories that you'd probably wake up to...

President-for-life Joe the "plumber" has given the US an official language, and it's not English. It's Teabagger.
Let's go over some phrases:
"Hi, how are you?" is now "Socialist! Nazi! Commie! Hitler!"
"My name is (name)" is now "Nazi! Marxism! Mao! (Name)"
"May I have a glass of water?" is now "Stalin! Socialism! Fascist! COMMUNIST!"

Secretary of Defense, Wiley Drake, has grown impatient with imprecatory prayers not being answered and has decided to declare nuclear war on his enemies, which is to basically say, everyone except for the Republican Party. However, since the work handling the nukes was outsourced to Halliburton and KBR, some things have happened. Several of the nukes may have accidentally been activated, and it may have destroyed several cities. And a couple of nukes may have been "lost" by Halliburton, and you know, it's all a coincidence that Al Qaeda ended up with several of these nukes and Halliburton got several million dollars richer at the same time and there is a mushroom cloud where Kabul once was... whoops.

Secretary of the Treasury, ExxonMobil, has declared another bailout for itself. Once again it made record profits, but the board found these profits to be unsatisfactory.

Secretary of the Interior, BP, has finished it's bombing campaign of Yellowstone Park. Nope, no oil there. However, a bill will be sent to the taxpayers. ExxonMobil said the American People and their grandchildren will be happy to pay so that corporations can be free.

After President "plumber" declared Sarah Palin to be the "Eternal Spiritual Leader of All Americans", she went on a campaign to declare that all federal buildings and schools without the name "Ronald Reagan", "Sarah Palin", or "Super-Capitalist non-hippie Jesus" somewhere in it would be demolished by the end of the week. And even though the demolition work will be outsourced to Halliburton, they'll have the measurements for the dynamite right this time... honest.

7. For one thing, you wouldn't have woken up at all, unless you're filthy rich.
The plug would have been plugged long ago, and all your descendants would be stuck with a medical bill of Graham's Number dollars.
