Because I Can Be a Sadistic Bastard, Too…

The corporate-owned media are all over the too-long-in-coming demise of right-wing extremist and liar Christopher Hitchens, whose cheerleading for the invasion and occupation of Iraq contributed nothing of value whatsoever to society.  And since we’re being forced to read and watch utter drivel instead of noting another reduction in the number of U.S. soldiers occupying Iraq (though we’re still maintaining the super-sized fortress embassy as well as thousands of mercenaries), I thought I’d kick you all while you’re down and embed the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Wail, and gnash your teeth.  Moohoohaha!

Happy Labor Day!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run,

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun.

Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?

But the union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,

But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.

We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn

That the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold;

Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.

We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old

For the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

Sing it loud.  And if that doesn’t get you a little verklempt, look for the Union Label below the fold.
