"Americans want..."

Politicians love to state what Americans ‘want.’ Let me have a hand in this game.

My fellow Americans, and a few misguided Canadians, what this nation needs …and I know that you want… because I hear from you everyday — men, women, Geico lizards, and weed-farm herbalist alike — is more orange cars. Well, I am here to do all that I can to help you get more of these desperately wanted, and needed, orange-clad sheet metal beauties.

When I was a child, I watched the Dukes of Hazzard …and the orange 1969 Dodge Charger jumped into my, no our living rooms, lives, and hearts along with repurposed blue jean cut-offs. Orange is the color of safety cones and that will certainly lead to safer roads.

What safe Americans want is what I tell them they want, because, it is safe to say, after I say something, then they think it and then want it. That is the free American way. They want two jobs, a way to clean the coal they already have, drool-free dogs, and weight burning butter. I will give Americans all of these things, but only because they asked.

Today is the day that we take back America and its color values, wall out Canada, and begin the process of buttering all sides of everyone’s bread. Americans want to be buttered up, and as America’s preeminent civic servant, “I am here to butter …YOU up!”

Not much rhymes with orange, but orange juice is the breakfast drink of champions and that is what I want for all Americans to be — champions of each new day. When you follow me, I will follow you on Twitter and we will be leading America around the corner of progress.

Since Americans are all the same, they all want the same things — peace, love, freedom, unity, visceral competitiveness, lots of war …and to re-elect me. I will give you all of these things, and whatever else Canada does not have nailed down.

We can do this together. I will tell you to do and you will do it. It will be no trouble at all and very little work for me. That is great because this grand plan will free me up to tell you more things to do; and once you do them the economy will be bigger and richer. “Orange you glad” I will be the top banana.

Let’s remove the barriers to Canada so we can jump start our migration into the maple-syrup nation before global warming roasts USA Americans and leaves the Far North overpopulated with re-transplanted Florida retirees. “You can’t always get what you want,” but with my help you will get what I need. Only you can be the change in the world that I tell you ‘to be’ — so “let it be.” Thank you. God Bless America …and you, but ‘mostly me.’

Cult of Personality — one of the best rock songs of the 1980s (1988) has some of the best lyrics of any song. Personality comes from the Greek word for theatrical masks — today known in English as persona.

Lyrics are here:

And during the few moments that we have left
We want to talk right down to earth
In a language that everybody here can easily understand

Look in my eyes
What do you see?
The cult of personality

I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality

Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free

I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you, one and one makes three
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality

Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune, you gave me fame
You gave me power in your god's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of personality

Ask not what your country can do for you

The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself

Every human should watch this four-part, four-hour documentary. At least, watch the first hour. You will never be the same. The Century of the Self

The rest can be found in that YouTube page. It comes up to nearly the present and covers topics like Marilyn Monroe.
