POTTS GOES FOR THE GOLD BARS WITH BOLD PILOT PROGRAM TO PHASE-OUT DEMOCRACY

In an unprecedented move to gain big financial backing from what can be called "The Royalist Right," Democracy Rising leader Tim Potts has called for picking delegates to a Pennsylvania Constutional Convention by the method known as "sordition." Surveying his vast domains near Buckingham Palace, THE CAD said "Sordition is not sedition. It is democracy rising above the ground, above the clouds, into the stratosphere where it can best be seen with an expensive telescope on an exceptionally clear night for at least one or two minutes at a time."

"Sordition, " THE GUZZLER said, "is worth drinking to. It's worth drinking to with finest quality wines and liquors. It's worth drinking to with the finest people with the highest net worth with the most expensive plates and silverware and tablecloths. As we raise our arms to toast our dearest friend Mr. Potts, we symbolize the rising of democracy out of sight and out of mind."

Sordition means that there are no elections. No one wins a mandate to do anything. No one mobilizes anyone to do anything. The people are picked at random (WINK, WINK!). They are then paid good money, wined and dined, and instructed on how to best behave to serve the public interest, the plutoratic interest, and their own interest.

Sordition is now occasionally used in Canada for constitutional issues. It comes from ancient Greece, where plutocrats found it to be an unqualified success. Remember the story of Diogenes walking through Athens with a lantern to see if he could find an honest man? That's because our early plutocratic ancestors had done such a great job bribing those picked at random to serve their interests.

May democracy continue to rise--higher and higher and out of sight, out of mind! May Tim Potts continue to court the Royalist Right. and continually up the ante of what we plutocrats demand of our sycophantic office seekers! May the Governorship of Pennsylvania go to someone bold enough and clever enough to help make democracy in Pennsylvania rise ever faster and ever farther away from out citizens.

Do I think, as of today, that Potts is superior to Boss Stilp? No, not yet. But Potts is clearly the fast gainer on the outside track. The possibility and desirability of his Governship can no longer be denied or underestimated.
