where my white lettering went

to understand, you must return with us now to the thrilling days of yesteryear, the early years of ww2, those unenlightened times when advertisers thought nothing of exploiting patriotism to sell products [not like now, no-o-o-o!], when perhaps the best-known slogan on radio was "lucky strike green has gone to war!"

the pentagon no longer needs green pigment as it did then, so i'm going green! i'm going renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly. i'm going to improve well-being and social equity while reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. i'm even going to confess i plagiarized most of the preceding sentence (but i won't tell you where from, because then it wouldn't be plagiarism).

yes, my fellow americans, nonamericans, unamericans, and antiamericans, you guessed it. what i'm saying is this is war! you didn't guess it? oh. well, just take my word for it, will ya?

ok. where was i? oh, yeah. this is war! uh....

damnit! i've lost my train of thought. this isn't working at all.

how 'bout if we forget about a deal and just raise the debt ceiling? why do we need a deal, anyway? just raise the damn thing and get it over with.

then we can really fight about taxes and spending!
