(D)ude: Man! That was really hard on the eyes! I cannot take it anymore! Fast forward to Yevgeni Plushenko’s long program! That will certainly soothe our suffering from surfing through such blandness.   

(M)an: Dude! We’ve already watched Yevgeni Plushenko’s figure skating masterwork five times! How much of an elixir do you need anyways?

D: Man! Enough to be able to erase everything I’ve seen leading up to Plushenko’s introduction and performance! Please be merciful!

M: Dude! Okay! All right?

D: Man! Yeah! Of course! I cannot believe Plushenko withdrew from competition this past Thursday. There ought to be an allowance by which the eighteen-year-old Maksim Kovtun could have stepped in for Plushenko. But the problem with that could possibly be North Korea’s Kim Jong-un dividing the competition in half and instructing the stronger skater to complete the initial two arduous rounds in order to secure a team gold and the other athlete to secure the individual gold medal in the later rounds. A country could not possibly play that card for far too long without suspicion of fraud or communism?  

M: Dude! Come to think of it, I am baring quite a migraine myself since we watched the preceding men’s figure skating long programs.  

D: Man! Didn’t I tell you? Like the spectacular opening ceremony of the Olympics broadcast on Friday, February 7, 2014, Plushenko’s performance managed to make me forget the political atmosphere in the United States briefly.

M: Dude! What about the world? Just look at how the 4,600-year-old stepped pyramid Edfu is being rendered valueless in Southern Egypt due to pressures from the gas pipeline industry that wants to build underneath it despite the aesthetically compromised nature of the modern madness that parallels the push in the United States to complete the Keystone Pipeline XL as well as continuing fracking despite the plate tectonics basics the captains of the industry seem to want to overlook.  

D: Man! But isn’t the President of the United States and Secretary of State Kerry edging towards the completion of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL?

M: Dude! Why wouldn’t they? Just look at how the Republican Tea GOP has managed to mess up so much in four years since they took control of the House of Representatives. The Republican Tea GOP has delegated power to the individual state legislatures to decide independently about how much federal government regulations they are willing to allow state-by-state. But it is considerably disallowing the federal government to participate in the affairs of the states because it’s just looting the daylights out of state budgets.

D: Man! Do you think there should be a system of checks and balances restored that the Republican Tea GOP has basically annihilated since the midterms elections of 2010? I think so. And you know why? I believe the far right is beyond mediocrity, and well on the way to being just obnoxiously obsolete.

M: Dude! Yeah. I think their obstructionist agendas only prove the point that Pope Francis made in dialogue with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for the 2013 textual gem On Heaven and Earth. There is a passage in the book that goes along the lines of  what you just said. Quote unquote, “A very intelligent Jesuit told this joke: There was a person who came running asking for help. Who was pursuing him? Was it an assassin? A thief? No… a mediocre person with power.” I even remember the page number: One forty nine.    

D: Man! Going back to the 4,600-year-old stepped pyramid Edfu and the gas pipeline companies, I suspect California Representative Darrell Issa did not ever intend to investigate the Benghazi, Libya tragedy when he reportedly took his schlemiel Republican Tea GOP aides—just two guys as far as the reports from that time concur—for a tour last year through Italian landscapes and a final glimpse of the Great Pyramids of Giza before their demise that, I’m suspecting, the Republican Tea GOP appear to know something about but are not wanting to share. I think George Clooney ought to reprise his role from the film The Monuments Men and construct an investigative documentary about what Issa knew then and knows now about the questionable fate of such marvelous historical markers of human innovation like the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids.  

M: Dude! Specifically, there is this oil and gas conglomerate comprised of 23 companies that are identified as quote unquote “principals” or componential partners within it. It is the Pyramid Oilfield Supply Co. and goes by the acronym POSCO. The 23 companies  are as follows: Petrofac International and Wilson Supply of UK; Dresser-Rand and seven  others—Champion Technologies, Valerus, HMT, Enardo, Plidco, Wholesale Electric, Argo International—of the USA; Sulzer Chemtech of Switzerland; Helm AG and three others—Siem Offshore Contractors, Saint Gobain NorPro, BKG Water Solutions—of Germany; Groupe Genoyer Phoceenne of France; Rosemont Tank Gauging System (Saab) of Sweden; Officine Valle Seriana S.P.A. and three others—Cavicel, Industrial Packing, Nuova Giungas—of Italy; Nikkiso of Japan; and Borusan Mannesmann of Turkey.

D: Man! The UK, the USA, Switzerland, Germany, France, Sweden, Italy, Japan, and Turkey span three continents but I wonder if POSCO is dismantling epic monuments of human innovation in Africa because the international status quo was originally aligned with what essentially could be referenced as a premeditated murder of non-Judeo-Christian cultures around the world through destructive measures like wars and sanctions without fathoming alternatives.

M: Dude! I look at it like this. The fossil fuel industry does not want to be replaced by the breakthroughs in green energy innovations. Like the nineteen century Luddites in England who were essentially against the Industrial Revolution, the status quo worldwide is hesitant to accept that a new day has arrived where the people are beleaguered enough by the 2010 rewrite of the American Dream with the extreme conservatism that is Republican Tea GOP. The Republican Tea GOP has robbed the thriving middle classers and a dreamer generation of immigrants that want to become citizens of the USA due to situations in their countries of origin where, most likely, the historic Republican GOP had most probably caused political upheavals and social unrest through policies abroad as well as at home in the United States of America.

D: Man! Then the first order of business ought to be to restore the definition of tax-exempt social welfare groups in Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code to read as it did originally, “Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.”

M: Dude! Borrowing from Lawrence O’Donnell again?

D: Man! I’m just reiterating with enthusiasm, that’s all.

M: Dude! That’s a great first step. Holding Eisenhower’s IRS accountable for the subsequent tax exempt status of obvious political groups who hold on to the notion that primarily and exclusively are the same in order to hold onto their nonprofit stature all these years later.

D: Man! If it weren’t for the BBC, we would never have known that China and Taiwan were considering talks with each other and that North Korea was considering talks with South Korea! Is the United States national press really stooped so low to the level of McCarthyism?

M: Dude! Yeah?

D: Man! Of course!
