Professor Pille's Planetary Panopticon

Currently under advisement and endless reconstruction. Perhaps confusing yet amusing. A highly vulnerable manifestation of the internationally-regarded Mt. Palomine Institute of Mysteries and its founder, the venerable Professor Antonio Pille. Dedicated with warmest regards to the varied ghosts of Aristophanes, Rabelais, Swift, Sterne, Jarry, Mencken, Baron Munchhausen, and the gentle and honorable Robert Benchley.

Abu Ubu History--Part the First

Festive annual political event soon became known as the Assasselection
As Abu Ubans "progressed" from being motivated by fear of pain to being controlled by terror of helle-fire, Abu Ubu's politics gained in relative sophistication. Above we see the results of the first fully democratic election within Abu Ubu where each citizen, obviously, wields his or her own personal veto--often in the form of a revolver or horseless carriage bomb. The new Prime Minister (the Right Honorable Athol Pugnacious Lillybottom R.I.P.) expresses surprise at the sudden turnaround of the earlier national vote count (his opponent had only moments before conceded before he was gunned down); his error at interpretation of the pre-election polls consisted of failing to take into account the majority opinion on a hot topic held by 2% of the electorate that's holding 90% of the explosives (which, de facto makes them, via complex statistical calculation, as great a percentage of the electorate as they care to be using the Where does a Gorilla sleep? democratic rule). The voter/assassin--rather than being terrified by promise of pain and helle-fire--is justifiably confident that his carefully considered veto earned him a place at the side of the Abu Uban supreme deity Alexcthlamizidek--Destroyer of Souls who is the God-of-choice of 32% of the citizenry yet 70% scarier than the Supreme Being that holds the remaining 68% minority in thrall (Mr. Mxyzptlk-Eater of Eternities) In an earlier and less evolved era the threat of bodily harm for this righteous judgement may have been enough to dissuade a citizen from exercising demon-creature-given Abu Ubu voting rights. Instead, faith triumphs and a great nation endures at least till it implodes!
