Telethon Nation [View All]

[SoCalDem]

We have no "real" government anymore, folks. They collect our tax money, and tell us to be self-sufficient.

They spend OUR money with abandon, and in return we get only the "abandon" part.

Whenever a crisis happens, the immediate response from our government is to "contact a different agency". In some times of crisis there is no phone service.Even if there is phone service, most will be contacting the Department of Who Gives a Shit.

Press "2" for more options

When crisis hits us, we can only hope that reliable people come forward to hold a telethon to encourage our fellow citizens to provide for us, that which we already PAY for through our taxes.

Our "services" are reliant , in a large part, on the kindness of strangers and celebrities who have a conscience.

The modern era of Telethon Nation happened when Willie Nelson got tired of hearing about farmers being pushed off their farms.. His Farm Aid called attention to their plight and helped them a lot more than ending the so-called "death tax" could ever hope to.

Now we have poor old Jerry Lewis, sick as he is, having to ask for money to try and provide some comfort and aid to people who are hopelessly left behind , again.

What's next? carwashes, bakesales, garage sales, begging door to door for food and water for the disenfranchised among us?

or perhaps another magnetic ribbon? a bumpersticker?
