THE CAD SEEKS "SORDITION TRADITION AUDITION"
In a decision that will likely have earth-skaking ramnifications for Pennsylvania's future, THE CAD--H. Thurston Cadwalader VII--has declared his deliberations on whom the world's most powerful plutocrats should be supporting for Governor of Pennsylvania in 2010 will henceforth be known as the "Sordition Tradition Audition."
This gives Democracy Rising head honcho Tim Potts a clear leg up in the battle for the big bucks that will determine who can afford to buy the governship in 2010. "We all know that political power in Pennsylvania is bought and sold," THE CAD said in a prepared statement. "But the right people have to buy political power for the right reasons. There is no better cause, and there can be no better cause, than the using of the tools of the corrupt election process to abolish the electoral process for all time. We have no need for elections. People don't need elections to buy influence. A little money here, a little money there, the next thing you know, you've got a lot of political power."
As a die-hard supporter of Gene Stilp for Governor, I had to admire the boldness of Potts' bid to set up a pilot program for sordition, using the elections for delegates to the constitutional convention in order to give sordition a a needed fooothold here. THE CAD made clear that Stilp and other guvernatorial candidates can earn his support by getting behind the Potts plan and pushing the envelope for sordition even higher. Any candidate who would push UNIVERSAAL SORDITION TRADITION and true merit selections for all governmental posts (merit being making the right payments to the right people at the right time) would be a tough competitor for plutocratiic backing.
It has been disappointing, THE CAD said, that sordition has not caught on since Potts first proposed it here. Potts himself, having raised it as a trial balloon, has been rather quiet about it lately. "But," THE CAD said, "we all know that money talks. By making it clear that sordition is the NUMBER ONE plutocratic priority we should guarantee that our fine stable of plutocratic friends will want to take it more seriously in 2010.
"Slogans that can be used to sell it include 'Stop throwing away your vote,' 'End the Problems of Democracy,' and 'Give Yourself More Free Time Every Election Day.'"
"If we don't vote on Election Days anymore, what should we call them?" I asked.
"That's easy," THE CAD said. "We'll call the primary election day 'Tim Potts Day' and the General Election Day 'Democracy Rising Day.'" They will be great tributes to the man who gave new meaning to democracy in Pennsylvania, the man who helped it rise high in the sky, well out of sight for all time."
