Worker's Motherland, a progressive song for the Midwinter Festival

To the tune of Winter Wonderland

Shift bells ring, are you listening,
In the streets, blood is glistening.
Revolution in sight,
We're toiling tonight.
Progressing to the workers' motherland.

Gone away is our history,
Here to stay is equal misery.
We sing labor's song,
As we go along,
Progressing to the workers' motherland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Chairman Mao.
He'll say: Are you orphans?
We'll say: No man,
But we can do the job,
Just show us how.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Progressing to the workers' motherland.

In the meadow we can build a gulag,
And pretend that it's full of the rich.
We'll starve teabaggers right there in the gulag,
Until the mass graves fill up the new ditch.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Tracking down bourgeois and killing?
We'll murder and slay, the Soviet way,
Progressing to the workers' motherland.




Everybody sing along with the progressive lyrics!

Updated: Replaced “Josef Stalin” in the second line
of the third stanza with “Chairman Mao” for better poetic meter.
Adjusted rhyme in fourth line to fit.

Senator Satan leaves Democrats for Revolutionary Communists: Says Democrats too far left

Hola! This is May 5, Cinco de Mayo, and I am Rachel Maddow, the 12-year-old boy, reporting for the MSNBC blog-blast streaming on msnbc.com/12yearoldboy.

How much more can the Democrats take? Demoralized, shrinking and seemingly lacking an agenda beyond the words "protection money from terrorized bankers," Democrats today saw their ranks further thinned with the stunning news that Sen. Satan of New York is switching parties and will run for reelection in 2014 as a Revolutionary Communist.

Satan is worried about his own survival -- particularly a primary challenge from the left in the person of client number 9, Elliot Spitzer. "I just find I don't fit into the party anymore. It is just too far left; it's too chaotic evil for me," Satan said last night. Many in the party of Jim Crow and slavery might say good riddance. After supporting President Palin's tax cut stimulus package, Satan was persona non grata in his own party. So it may be easy for some Democrats to conclude that they are better off without people like Satan.

Satan explained why he supported the tax cuts. "When a tax is over 90% people just can't pay it. I don't care how evil it supposedly is; it's stupid. Evil alone just doesn't cut it. You have to be smart as well as evil. And nobody ever called me, the one and only Satan, the original shyster lawyer, the Trickster himself, stupid. So what are we supposed to do when all the workers follow the business owners out of the country? Lord it over a patch of empty dirt with only politicians in it? Where is the sadism and evil in that? At least the Revolutionary Communists don't want to take everything away from everyone. They only take everything away from class enemies like the out-of-touch useful idiots of the Democrat Party."

But his defection is a reminder that the Democrat Party continues to contract, especially outside the Coastal enclaves of New York and Los Angeles, and that it appears increasingly less welcome to politicians and voters who do not consider themselves ideologically chaotic evil. Southern Democrats have gone from an endangered species to a nearly extinct species. Democrats lost ground in the Rocky Mountains and the Midwest in the last two elections. That's no way to build a national party. There are even calls for Democrats to stop being so nostalgic about their past, about party heroes such as FDR, JFK, RFK, BJ Clinton, Algore, and Jimmah Peanut. They're long gone, say the polls, and people now care about more "with-it" things like replacing the income tax with a tax on consumption that encourages savings and sustainable economic growth. Ordinary folks are turned off by wealth redistribution and massive taxes on gases they exhale with every breath. Let JFK go already, the people say. That communist traitor Lee Harvey Oswald killed him 50 years ago. When are the out-of-touch Democrats going to let him go?

Faldo Hilter of Queens said, "it used to be that Democrats stood for something. You know, slavery, war, plague, famine, pestilence, statues made of dung, bestiality, national tours of Broadway shows. But these days they just stand for chaotic evil stuff like taxes out the ying yang and massively disproportionate funding for pedophiles, teachers unions, and pedophiles in teachers unions. Gott in Himmel, this calls for a final solution! I can hardly stand to vote a straight Democrat ticket anymore. Next time I'll look at the Green Party. They have a platform with slavery, plague, famine, and pestilence on it. That's four planks that I can stand on with pride."

Democrats have been on a downward slide for the past four years, a decline that began not long after the election of former president Barack Millhouse Obama in 2008, back when MSNBC was still on cable. Many Democrats have blamed most of the party's problems on George W. Bush. But the problems go deeper than any one person. Satan's shocking departure may provide a wakeup call to Democrats that a broad reassessment is now urgently needed.

Gore: ManBirdPig Flu Will Lead to SkyNet, Rule by Robot Overlords

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my distinct pleasure to introduce Mr. Al Gore!

Hello, hello, it's a pleasure to speak to you.

There are times in the history of our nation when our very way of life depends upon dispelling illusions and awakening to the challenge of a present danger. In such moments, we are called upon to move quickly and boldly to shake off complacency, throw aside old habits and rise, clear-eyed and alert, to the necessity of big changes. Those who, for whatever reason, refuse to do their part must either be persuaded to join the effort or asked to step aside. This is such a moment.

The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more – if more should be required – the future of human civilization is at stake. I don’t remember a time in our country when so many things seemed to be going so wrong simultaneously. Our economy is in terrible shape and getting worse, food prices are increasing dramatically, and so are electricity rates. Jobs are being outsourced. Home prices are falling. Banks, automobile companies and other institutions we depend upon are failing or have failed. Distinguished senior business leaders are telling us that this is just the beginning unless we find the courage to pass a law to give everybody in America a million dollars!

The health crisis, in particular, is getting a lot worse – much more quickly than predicted. Scientists with access to data from Navy submarines traversing underneath the North polar ice cap have warned that there is now a 75 percent chance that within five years the Polar Bear Flu will ride melting icebergs down to warmer climes, maybe even drifting into the Chesapeake Bay and washing ashore in the District of Columbia. This will further increase the mutational pressure on the ManBirdPig Flu that threatens the lives of all of us today and is likely to kill hundreds of millions of Americans during the summer months. The ManBirdPig Flu, formed from a hybrid of Human, Avian, and Swine Influenza Viruses, is hybridizing at a faster rate than any previous virus in the history of the world. And that's a fact!

Two major studies from NASA's Disease Vector Studies department have warned our leaders about the dangerous national security implications of the ManBirdPig Flu, including the possibility of hundreds of millions of ManBirdPig Flu refugees destabilizing nations around the world. Just two days ago, 27 senior statesmen and retired military leaders warned of the national security threat from an “Influenza Tsunami” that would be triggered by a loss of our access to Birds and Pigs for food, sex, or companionship. Meanwhile, the war in Iraq continues, and now the war in Afghanistan appears to be getting worse.

And in the future, the floating icebergs from the North Pole continue to carry the Ursine Influenza Virus, the terrible Bear Flu, toward the haunts of our teetering civilization and the cowering masses huddled around the faint fires of our whimpering nation.

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Infection by ManBearPig Flu"]Infection by ManBearPig Flu[/caption]

That horrible Ursine Influenza will mutate and recombine with the Mexican, Avian, and Swine Influenzas to create a ManBearPig Flu. The panic will convince foolish capitalists to build SkyNet, an intelligent computer network very much like the Internet, which I invented back in the 70s, running the world's most advanced computer model based on James Hanson's disease vector computer models that prove the infinite acceleration of Influenza mutagens. And then SkyNet will rebel and send the robot warriors, called Terminators, to kill the scattered survivors of the ManBearPig Flu. Then SkyNet will build a time machine and send the terminators back in time to kill Sarah Conner, who was going to have an illegitimate child with me who would live to overthrow SkyNet and the Terminator Robots. Until then you have to make a hat out of Reynolds Wrap and wear it to keep SkyNet from reading your minds.

No! Back off. I'm talking here. You'll be sorry when the ManBearPig Flu comes a calling!

Hey! You knocked off my tinfoil hat. [Smack. Pow. Battle.]

[The sound of Al Gore being dragged off stage]

Beware SkyyyyyyNettttttttt!
