Yes, it's nice that Stalin rewrote the
Hymn of the Soviet Union to include his own name. This is standard
practice for all dictators, whether benevolent or malevolent. However -- and
tellingly -- Stalin deliberately excluded the phrase "cult
of personality" from the lyrics of the Soviet Hymn. This is proof
positive that he was a Malevolent Dictator.
In contrast, Great Tom Streeter, Our Leader, just as deliberately
included the phrase "cult
of personality" in the lyrics of the National Anthem of Baja
LasVegastan. This is proof positive that he is a Benevolent
Dictator.
In light of this, it is important that the portrait
of Great Tom Streeter, Our Leader, be included in all computer screen-savers
within the realm, and that a framed printout of this picture hang from the
wall of every room within the realm. However, incense (and other sacrifices)
should not be burned to him at the altar; the Benevolent Dictator is a
non-smoker.
Unannounced inspections of computers, of room walls, and of altars, will
continue. In the words of the National Anthem, they will continue
everlastingly. |
