Cougher's hack-hack cured with Ack-Ack
Dateline: Da Urth
Traditional Merkan security complexities guarantee that one tentacle seldom knows what the other is doing--members of the First Congressional Anti-Aircraft Battery prepare to shoot down today's series of Femtrail spray-flights sponsored, they assume, by either the Secret Black Government, the Hidden Intelligence Service Conspiracy, or maybe even the Department of Agriculture, even though the House probably approved the budget for the very same project regardless who's running it. Violence among the myriad "governments" of Merka is not unknown, but publicly viewable heavy weaponry, like this 50mm gun (or "crop dusting" over populated regions with Air Force tankers), was a--till recently--unusual sight. The "O'Press" covered this event as a page twelve item (directly beneath Family Circus Maximus) claiming testing of a new-fangled cell-phone tower atop the Senate Office Building, but had no explanation beyond "temperature inversion" for the numerous flaming aeroplanes seen dropping from the skies over the Nation's Capital. The Weekly World News sported this headline: Senate Uses Ack-Ack to Discourage Alien Abductions of Pages and Interns and all public concern ended there.
In a related story, rumors are abounding that the Supreme Court has acquired and refurbished a mothballed French aircraft carrier (R-93 Generale Neusaunce) and future judgements will be made on the open seas where the Constitution (the document, not "Old Ironsides") holds no sway. Air strikes can be launched from her decks to enforce various rulings, and with the added mobility the oaken mallet of the Court will no doubt be felt worldwide. Top Muslim mullahs are showing interest in this innovative military/legal concept as it allows for a highly augmented projection of the power of the fatwa and realistic implementation of the occasional extra-territorial death sentence, what with everyone now being under everyone else's legal jurisdiction these days. (Only last week, one of our staff was--in absentia--tried, convicted, and sentenced to death in Abu Ubu for stamp collecting, which is specifically banned by the Koran as a worshipping of images with adhesive backings. Our coastal defenses stand ready)
