“serious genetic transformations” due to the “biological war”

I got down to biznis after the cheese dropped me off at the
casita this morning. Fueled by music, cold pizza, residual adrenaline from taking a math test, beers and herbal cough drops, I whipped ass and got two larger stencils done for the protest tomorrow morning. The theme is, 'TVA and COAL, SUCKAS'. Limited edition prints are available for $5, plus s&h. Send cheques to my offshore tax haven in the Sechelles.

So, for those of you who just crawled out from under a rock, it's game time in Knoxville this weekend, pitting the largest of the large versus the smallest of the small. Naturally, I'm referring to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) going to bat against burgeoning negative public sentiment. It's literally the little people against one of the most endless wastelands of poppycock legalese. TVA is a vast, soulless legal construction and it has been badly attempting to hide like an 800-lb scuttling cockroach underneath the furniture; it's tried the rug, under the couch, and is currently lurking among the potted plants on the shelf closest the window.

Unfortunately, even cockroaches get lice, ticks, what-have-you, and especially nematodes. The pissed off public is kinda like those nematodes. As the cockroach (TVA in this case) squishes and squashes with seemingly rabies-induced wild abandon over the public land, homes, rivers, and future of the southeast, it consumes and absorbs parasite eggs (in this case, anyone screwed by TVA). The end result is a sick cockroach, given enough time. (see really graphic dissection of a cockroach, complete with internal parasites.)

Eventually, the little buggies will reproduce enough, munching on the internals, and will get to the brain (or numerous nodes of ganglia) of the beast, and it will change its ways. It might fall into the toilet. Or come out when the lights are on and get hit with a newspaper. OR, it could begin to steer it's coal and nuclear-centric obsessions into paths such as energy conservation (most important) and renewable energy.

I personally hope TVA takes over NASA, becoming the Tennessee Valley National Aeronautics and Space Authority (TVNASA), and builds a bunch of solar power satellites. Once they own the entire Earth, they can begin the eugenics programs they always discuss at board meetings.
