Citizens of Earth Wii U

- By date
Games Master UKApr 9, 2015Its heart is in the right place, but we can't forgive the dull, repetitive combat. [April 2015, p.70]
Mar 22, 2015Zany humour finds wonder and wackiness in the mundane, while the recruitment system lets you build a versatile army that changes the way you explore and battle in a JRPG.
Feb 10, 2015Citizens of Earth is a comical RPG that retro lovers will simply adore because of its settings and adorable characters, but ends up being simple and repetitive.
Feb 7, 2015Citizens of Earth tries really hard to remind us of the RPGs we played a long time ago, and he succeeds a bit too much through dumb progression, tons of battles and quite some grinding. At the same time it's a colorful and smart adventure with irresistible characters to recruit.
Feb 6, 2015The idea of Citizens of Earth is wonderful. The game is hilarious, huge, and chalk-full of personality. It is quite the shame that there are a few design and technical issues that limit the title from realizing its true greatness.
Feb 3, 2015Although it suffers from the dated standards of structure and action—acting more as an imitation of what we might remember of the SNES-era than a succession—Citizens of Earth flourishes when it embraces its own silliness.
Feb 3, 2015Citizens of Earth runs for about 15 hours if you tackle a decent amount of side-quests and level up your team, which is pretty short by RPG standards.
Feb 2, 2015Citizens of Earth has a lot of great ideas that work well, such as its recruitable characters, turn-based combat system and sense of humour.
Feb 2, 2015It provides some welcome sense of humour, its cartoonish graphical style is very adequate and the voice work is fantastic. Nevertheless, it is far from being a groundbreaking game due to some issues with the way the plot progresses, as well as technical stability problems and very long loading times.
Jan 26, 2015In summation, Citizens of Earth is a pretty enjoyable game, but it's far too short for me to be able to call it a classic.
Jan 20, 2015Citizens of Earth may not have had the nuanced artistry that Earthbound had, but, in spite of its limitations, it owns what it has available and runs with it.
Jan 20, 2015If you're looking for a title with both style and substance and a hint of nostalgia, Citizens of Earth is your next RPG purchase.
Jan 20, 2015A salute to Atlus for bringing something unique and fun to the market so early in this new year; here's hoping Eden Industries gets a shot to expand on the foundation it laid here with a future sequel.

Obvious Earthbound inspirations which is great if you like Earthbound.
The combat system is presented visually similar to Earthbound but is mechanically unique and interesting with a wide variety of citizens to recruit each with unique play style and abilities.
The world is detailed, colourful and interesting with lots of things to see and explore.
The characters and story are decently written with good comedy.
The bad:
The game doesn't do a good job of describing what exactly you have to do, I realize this is an inspiration from older games but if you're going to be inspired by old games do the good thing not the annoying things.
There's a part where you're required to write down clues. Once again, if you're going to be inspired by old games leave out the nonsense that was bad back then too.
Way to many enemies that aren't really worth fighting making it frustrating to complete a task.
The game has crashed a couple times for me.… Full Review »

Given the advance of Internet technologies, we can now easily extract hundreds or thousands of news stories of any ongoing incidents from newswires such as CNN.com, but the volume of information is too large for us to capture the blueprint. Information retrieval techniques such as topic detection and tracking are able to organize news stories as events, in a flat hierarchical structure, within a topic. However, they are incapable of presenting the complex evolution relationships between the events. We are interested to learn not only what the major events are but also how they develop within the topic. It is beneficial to identify the seminal events, the intermediary and ending events, and the evolution of these events. In this paper, we propose to utilize the event timestamp, event content similarity, temporal proximity, and document distributional proximity to model the event evolution relationships between events in an incident. An event evolution graph is constructed to present the underlying structure of events for efficient browsing and extracting of information. Case study and experiments are presented to illustrate and show the performance of our proposed technique. It is found that our proposed technique outperforms the baseline technique and other comparable techniques in previous work.

Mets Beat Pirates As Subs Play Like Stars
Of all the injury-tattered lineups the Mets have trotted out this year, none have been more decimated than the one they used Monday. Jose Reyes left the team to be with his family after the death of his grandmother. Jason Bay had the night off. David Wright and Ike Davis remained on the disabled list. But the Mets have made a habit this month of staying competitive with a cast of fill-ins and minor-league call-ups. And they were good enough to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-3, at Citi Field. Dillon Gee gave up only three runs in seven innings while striking out a career-high eight batters. Josh Thole drove in two runs with a double to deep center field in the seventh inning. And Justin Turner drove in a run with a double off the left-center field wall in the eighth. Angel Pagan, Daniel Murphy (pictured here, after scoring on Thole's double) and Ruben Tejada each drove in a run for the Mets (25-28). Reyes was placed on the bereavement list before the game, which allows the Mets to fill his roster spot for no fewer than three and no more than eight days. To fill the spot, the Mets activated reliever Bobby Parnell from the disabled list.
—Brian Costa
Hughes Shows New Life
Phil Hughes continues to show signs that he's overcoming his dead arm and could face hitters next week and return from the disabled list around the All-Star break.
Hughes has been mostly playing catch and long-tossing as he tries to overcome the mysterious shoulder weakness that has sidelined him, but Sunday he threw 30 pitches at Safeco Field in Seattle, mixing in curveballs and changeups, and he felt strong.
Hughes, who could return as a starter or a reliever, has been on the D.L. since April 15. He will next throw Wednesday in Oakland.
—Daniel Barbarisi

Experiments using 14C sugars were carried out on the holothurian Holothuria scabra Jäger, in order to assess the role of its perivisceral fluid in the translocation and transportation of dissolved organic materials. The results obtained indicate that the perivisceral fluid plays a significant part. Rates of 14C glucose, fructose and sucrose uptake were followed in major tissues such as the alimentary canal, haemal system, respiratory tree and body wall. The monosaccharides are absorbed more intensively by digestive and haemal systems, the disaccharide by respiratory tree and body wall. It is, therefore, presumed that tissues in H. scabra selectively absorb sugars depending on their metabolic activity.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

AbstractImproving the acoustical environment is critical in aeronautics. Airports and aeronautical systems manufacturers are facing ever-increasing demands to reduce noise levels. Aeronautical applications require the use of high quality microphones with a large dynamic range, sometimes in large arrays. These arrays are expensive. The advent of lower cost microphones that meet the users' specifications would dramatically improve the ability of engineers seeking to quantify the acoustic impact of either their designs or their facilities (e.g., airports) and to make data driven decisions to improve any adverse situation.In our Phase-I SBIR, we showed the technical feasibility of a commercially viable, piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) microphones capable of withstanding adverse conditions found in ground testing of the acoustics of aeronautical systems. In the Phase II project, we will implement design changes to improve these sensors. We will develop efficient deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) procedures to increase our yield and lower costs. We will develop scalable packaging techniques so that the devices can be economically assembled into a completed device. Finally, the reliability and robustness of these microphones will be determined. Each of these tasks will advance us toward our goal of producing a commercially viable product with outstanding acoustical performance.

UF a cappella group No Southern Accent is climbing the scales of the competitive a cappella world.
On Saturday, NSA placed first at Varsity Vocal's International Championship of Collegiate a cappella south quarterfinals, held at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. Receiving a total of 428 points, NSA is now the highest-scored a cappella team in the U.S in 2014.
C.J. Wittus, NSA president and a 22-year-old UF sociology and criminology senior, said the group's social media "blew up" after its performance, so he had a pretty good idea about how the group scored.
"First place has always been an FSU group," Wittus said. "This is the first time any UF a cappella group has placed first at ICCA."
The group will compete in the ICCA semifinals on March 15 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Although NSA will be the only team from UF, three Florida State University groups are scheduled to compete.
"All of the groups have a chance to work to improve their set, so it's anyone's game," said Lindsay Howerton-Hastings, producer for the ICCA south quarterfinals.
She said the competition would be tough among the ten teams attending semifinals, but she said NSA fits the description of a great a cappella group.
"NSA has been growing in leadership and strong singers steadily over the past few years, and they killed it on Saturday," she wrote in an email.
Alex Greene, NSA's musical director, received an award for most outstanding vocal percussion at the competition. The 22-year-old UF material science engineering senior said he stood out because his microphone-holding technique creates harder beats.
At this point, he said, the group is pretty well-versed in its routine, so the majority of practices will be spent mastering its performances.
"There's work to be done, but I don't think the pressure is as heavy," Greene said.
[A version of this story ran on page 4 on 2/21/2014 under the headline "UF a cappella group headed to national finals competition"]

Re: Collection showing up during USDA Applicatio
Well the good news is the CA mailed me a reply that they would remove the collection from my credit report if I pay them.
The bad news is they want me to pay them by tomorrow, which is funny since I only got the letter in the mail yesteday.
Unless they take a credit card over the phone I'm not sure how that would even be possible. It's almost like the purposly put a early date on it knowing it's nearly impossible to pay them on time.
What a joke.

Designs for a backstop wall at Ocean Beach Domain will be
completed by the end of the year so they are ready to
implement in the case of an emergency.
In 2012, Dunedin city councillors approved a plan to sink a
backstop wall along the dunes behind the beach as part of
long-term measures to mitigate coastal erosion on Ocean Beach
Domain, which runs from the St Clair salt water pool to
Lawyers Head.
The council has also approved the rollover of unspent
emergency works budget funds each year so it could accumulate
and be used to prepare an application to extend the present
resource consent for emergency works in the area and to
design the backstop wall.
Council parks manager Lisa Wheeler said the design work would
be done this year, although it was not planned to start
building the first section of the wall for at least 10 years.
''We want to have the plan in place so that if anything
actually happens and it's more cost-effective to bring that
forward, we'll know what we doing and how much it will
The council will this year apply to renew resource consents
for emergency works in the area.
The council sets aside $250,000 for emergency coastal works
each year.

Medal record
Annika Zeyen (born 17 February 1985) is a 1.5-point wheelchair basketball player,[1] who has played for ASV Bonn and RSV Lahn-Dill in the German wheelchair basketball league, and for the University of Alabama in the United States. She has also played for the national team, with which she won three European titles, was the runner-up at 2010 World Championships, won silver at the 2008 Summer Paralympic Games in Beijing, and won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, for which President Joachim Gauck awarded the team Germany's highest sporting honour, the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt (Silver Laurel Leaf).
Zeyen was born on 17 February 1985. She is nicknamed "Anni".[1] At the age of 14,[2] she was involved in a serious horse riding accident that left her paralysed. During rehab, she was introduced to the sport of wheelchair basketball. She left the hospital and started looking for a club where she could play.[3]
Zeyen joined ASV Bonn, initially playing with the youth team, then with the seconds, and finally with the firsts. In 2001, she played in the German Championships for Women, and was named most valuable young player. In 2004, she switched to RSV Lahn-Dill, with which she won several German championships. She was invited to try out for the national team, and joined its development squad.[3] She competed in her first paralympic games, the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens.[4] She subsequently played for the national team that won the European championships in 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011.[3]
In September 2008, Zeyen participated in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, but Germany was beaten in the gold medal match by the United States team,[5] which contained three of her former team mates from the University of Alabama, Stephanie Wheeler, Mary Allison Milford and Alana Nichols.[6] The German team took home Paralympic silver medals instead.[5] After the Paralympics, the team's performance was considered impressive enough for it to be named the national "Team of the Year",[7] and it received the Silver Laurel Leaf, Germany's highest sporting honour, from German President Horst Koehler.[8]
Zeyen took up a scholarship to the University of Alabama in 2009,[3] majoring in advertising and minoring in graphic design. She maintained a 4.0 grade point average.[9] Her team at the University of Alabama won three titles in five years, narrowly missing out in March 2013 to the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, which won the championship game 55–41, a game in which Zeyen scored 11 points.[10] Zeyen was named an Academic All-American in 2012 and 2013.[9]
In June 2012, Zeyen was named as one of the team that competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London.[11] In the Gold Medal match, her team faced Australia,[12] a team that had defeated them 48–46 in Sydney just a few months before.[13] They defeated the Australians 58–44 in front of a crowd of over 12,000 at the North Greenwich Arena to win the gold medal,[12] the first that Germany had won in women's wheelchair basketball in 28 years.[14] They were awarded a Silver Laurel Leaf by President Joachim Gauck in November 2012,[15] and were again named Team of the Year for 2012.[14]
The German team lost the European Championship to the Netherlands before a home town crowd of 2,300 in Frankfurt in July 2013 by a point, 56-57. The game was televised live in Germany, and cameras lingered on a tearful Zeyen, who could have tied the game and sent it into extra time with a free throw in its dying moments.[16]
In April 2014, Zeyen was part of the BG Baskets Hamburg team that won the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation Euro League Challenge Cup, its first International title, with a 62–54 over the Frankfurt Mainhatten Skywheelers. The team also won the Fair Play Award of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation Europe, and Zeyen was elected to its All Star team.[17]

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my notebook but I can't boot. The status is a black screen and no key works.
Strangely, I can boot the Ubuntu as a next method:
Plug USB stick (install program)
Boot sequence changes (HDD → USB)
USB lamp blinks and stops
Booting from HDD
Why can't I boot without USB stick?

Is Connor Cook a 2014 Heisman Trophy candidate?
Well, look at who is a Heisman contender for 2014: Michigan State QB Connor Cook. No doubt, the national front-runner entering next season will be Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, who won the award last season. But don't discount Cook, who hit 58 percent of his passes for 2,755 yards with 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions during the Spartans' 13-1 Big Ten title season.

Our Attempt Has Ended Safely.
Posted on June 14, 2015
Posted on June 14, 2015
On Sunday, June 7 at 17:10 JST Sonya departed from the Choshi Marina in Japan to row 5,700 nautical miles non-stop to San Francisco. Arguably the hardest open ocean crossing in the world, she planned to be on board a 24 foot rowboat for 150+ days supported only by land-based advisers via satellite phone. Potential challenges of this crossing other than distance and duration include high seas over 40 feet, winds above 50 knots, extreme wildlife, and freighters or other large vessels. Sonya and Team Epoch made the difficult, but prudent decision to call an early end to this years attempt about 150 miles out and still within Coast Guard range. As is the nature of expeditions, you can plan methodically yet still encounter situations outside of your control. With 3+ years of preparations and consideration for all eventualities, we remain confident that the best decision was made, one which minimized risk. We would like to give special thanks to the crew of Naraweik and the Japanese Coast Guard for their assist in towing Icha and Sonya back to shore. Sonya has returned to Port Townsend to focus on SpinDrift Rowing and is discussing what comes next for Epoch Expeditions and her adventures. She continues to discuss and consider future attempts of this crossing and to explore other expedition possibilities. Check in for updates on our social media and here at expedition.pacific.com. For questions and media inquiries, please contact email@example.com. Thanks to all for your support! Fair winds. - Team Epoch
Every great discovery begins with adventure. The adventure begins now ... join me. Sonya Baumstein

Reconcile debits & credits using Solver [Advanced Excel]
Here is a tricky problem often faced by accountants and finance professionals: Let's say you have 5 customers. Each of them need to pay you some money. Instead of paying the total amount in one go, they paid you in 30 small transactions. The total amount of these transactions matches how much they need to pay you. But you don't know which customer paid which amounts. How would you reconcile the books?
If you match the transactions manually, it can take an eternity – after all there are more than 931 zillion combinations (5^30).
This is where solver can be handy. Solver can find optimal solution for problems like this before you finish your first cup of coffee.Continue »

Who is the most consistent seller? [BYOD]
Who is the most consistent of all?
Imagine you are a category manager at a large e-commerce company. Your site offers various products, but you don't really make these products. You list products made by other vendors on your site. Every day, these vendors would send you invoices for the amount of product they have sold. Above is a snapshot of such invoices.
Looking at this list, you have a few questions.
- Who is the best seller?

Revenue vs. Commission growth – Getting the message across [BYOD]
Situation: Our commissions are growing way faster than revenues
Let's say you are looking revenues & sales commissions of your company for last few years. The data looks like this:
And you want to highlight the fact that commissions are growing faster than revenues.
So you plot YoY growth rates for revenues & commissions.
Problem: The chart of YoY growth rates is not convincing
Take a look at the chart. It doesn't convey the message that we want. At best it says "revenue growth is less than commission growth"
How to convey the message "Commission growth is a problem for us"?Continue »
Doing Cost Benefit Analysis in Excel – a case study
Imagine you are the in-charge of finance department at Hogwarts. So one fine day, while you are practicing the spells, Dumbledore walks in to your office and says, "Our electricity bills are way too high. As the muggles don't accept wizard money, we have to find a way to reduce our power consumption."
So you summoned the previous 12 month utility bills to examine energy consumption patterns, and pretty soon you realized that most of the electricity consumption is due to the light bulbs. You suddenly have a brilliant idea. Why not replace the light bulbs with a variety that consumes low power? A light bulb moment indeed.
Your next step is to figure out what varieties of light bulbs are out there. Fortunately this is easier than catching a snitch in a game of quidditch. A quick search revealed that there are 3 types of light bulbs:
- Regular incandescent bulbs (the kind Hogwarts currently uses)
- Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL)
- Light Emitting Diode bulbs (LED)
Now your job is to do a cost benefit analysis of these options and pick one.Continue »

Local insurgents resist US occupation of New York during Fleet Week
Just as all progressive New Yorkers of good will prepared to celebrate this year's Fleet Week by watching reruns of Battleship Potemkin and dancing to the uplifting sounds of Red Army and Red Navy Choir, their open-minded city suffered a rude invasion by the militaristic US Navy forces. The boorish US sailors and marines scurried through New York's enlightened neighborhoods without an exit strategy, acting like the occupiers they were - offending cultural sensitivities of the natives by not holding their heads down nor hiding their eyes in fear and guilt every time a faithful native gave them an accusing stare.
US occupiers in Times Square
To add insult to injury, they landed on the eve of Memorial Day - when all faithful progressives are honoring great heroes of the Revolution: Benedict Arnold, Tokyo Rose, Alger Hiss, Aldrich Ames, Gus Hall, Ramsey Clark - and, of course, the holiest martyrs Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The cynicism of the US military is astounding!
US Marines Torture Children In Broad Daylight
Times Square. US Marine is captured on film while torturing poor children of New York. Once a war criminal, always a war criminal!
|The brewing resentment turned into open insurgency when the Party spearheaded the Great March of the People, arming them with today's most lethal weaponry: kick-ass multi-lingual street theater props that look convincingly serious on world's TV screens.
Around noon on May 27, New York's workers and peasants gathered near 49th Street across from USS Intrepid to storm this symbol of US imperialism and to drive American invaders out of the holy city of New York.
Kick the Ass of the Ruling Class
At the head of the column marched lawyers with notepads - National Lawyers Guild (NLG) members - true vanguard of the Revolution. They ensured that the boot of proletarian justice would kick the ass of the ruling class with ease and impunity. The NLG Kommissars could be spotted by their characteristic green caps identifying their rank as "Legal Observers, Enforcers of People's Will, and Protectors of Orthodoxy."
Brigade of the Screaming Hags
Next went the notorious Brigade of the Screaming Hags, overwhelming the senses of those few who still remained unmoved by the lawyers.
War Is Terrorism
Next went the children with a message from the progressive public school system: war is terrorism, economy is poverty, success is failure, logic is irrational, education is ineptitude.
The children were naturally followed by coffins - or as we in the Politburo call them, "icebreakers." Cheaply made out of cardboard, they are a great way to start a conversation and quickly gain high moral ground among those who don't know what moral is. Whoever came up with this idea deserves the Order of Lenin Medal and Award.
Do-It-Yourself Morale Booster
A fantastic morale booster, this item is a must-have in any progressive household, to be displayed on the wall next to the hammer & sickle and a shovel - a great decorative value, too. Take it for a walk to the park, street, or your local recruitment center - and you're guaranteed all the attention you deserve.
Mystery Coffin
Quickly add an exotic flavor with a touch of a Palestinian kufia. We aren't sure what relevance it has to the current uprising since there is no US military presence in Palestine, but it never hurts to stir up some additional guilt among the occupiers. When it comes to guilt, every way to bring it up is the right way.
An example of how NOT to make a fake coffin - the cardboard is showing! It gives away the cheap trick, spoils the dramatic effect, and ruins our collective credibility. Sloppiness is the plague of the progressive movement! True, most comrades have turned progressive namely because they had been sloppy in their work, thinking, and personal habits. But this only underscores the historical inevitability of proletarian dictatorship enforced with the iron fist of strict Party discipline.
If You Know Something...
"We will not be silenced by the fascist US regime that oppresses Muslim women! That's why we have it spelled out in Arabic - so that oppressed Muslim women worldwide may get inspired and rise with us against the misogynistic Bush-Cheney junta!"
Feminists of the world, unite!
|"I also support women's right to be oppressed. I beat my wives with a stick to bring them in the right mood for this picture. It's what our infidel enablers like to see, no?"
"Warning: this will happen to anyone who stands on the People's way - and the People's NLG Lawyers will make sure we do it with impunity. It happened before in Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Venezuela - and will happen here if you choose to oppose us."
(This female comrade later told our correspondent that she was, in fact, a Republican - yet she joined the movement because, working in the financial field, she had obtained a proof that the Iraq war was really about money for Halliburton and Dick Cheney. She had probably mistaken us for a New York Times reporter - but nice try anyway.)
"How can I not be happy? The results of our comrades' work in the news media and trivial entertainment industries will bring a smile on your face too!"
"Our nation bankrupt, disgraced, hated globally, in more danger."
Let's celebrate! And special thanks to our liaisons with Zarqawi and other brotherly Islamic fighters.
SDS: Students For A Democratic Society
Because America has yet to learn what democracy really is! We need to be more like North Korea!
* * *
From the People's Glossary:
People's Democracy
A higher form of government that no longer relies on the outdated and ineffective election process. In the so-called "bourgeois democracies" elections are routinely accompanied by lies, fraud, disenfranchisement of voters, and ballot recounts in Florida. In a People's Democracy voters think with the collective brain which speaks most accessibly and conveniently through Party representatives. The wish of the collective at any given moment is the law, and no one better knows the wishes and needs of the people than the dear leader himself, e.g., Kim Jung Il of the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea.
Coming Here Soon: Insurrection!
You won't believe how many great revolutionary slogans one can come up with while living in mom's basement.
"Uh, Beavis, that grandma's placard says No Bush! Hehehe."
"Do you think she's a personal hygiene activist? Hehehe."
"She's a lesbian grandma. Hehehe."
"Bush. Hehehe. Bush. Hehehe. Uh, Butthead, I don't get it."
The Gloved One
The students and children were closely followed by Michael Jackson (right).
And we thought he was filming an MTV show in Tokyo...
And, of course, Flat Gareth didn't miss a chance to show up at a People's rally.
|A small group of about twenty America's sympathizers and enemies of progress created a roadblock on the People's way. These right-wing capitalist oppressors tried to postpone the Great March of the People. Of course they couldn't be real New Yorkers. They held a large banner that said "WARNING: Leftist protesters trying to demoralize our troops" and sang God Bless America in extremely loud voices.
"Remove these people and arrest them immediately - or your department and you personally will have a huge lawsuit on your hands."
Intimidated into obedience by the Kommissar (left), the police quickly dispersed the reactionaries, making them move over behind the corner so as not to obstruct the advancing March of the People.
|"Comrade Kommissar? Violators have been removed. They won't bother you anymore. Proceed as planned."
Stop U.S. War Crimes
The People's insurgents successfully made it to their destination and strategically positioned the "icebreakers" across from USS Intrepid, in an upright position.
"Disrespectful? Hell yeah. Did you think we would actually call a priest?"
Mini Storage
Next time the Party should pick a better spot - so that the coffins wouldn't appear as advertisement for mini storage containers.
* * *
Who Lies There?
Just imagine who might be lying in our morale boosting coffins. It's Memorial Day after all!
Nathan Hale - war criminal, participated in a militaristic aggression of the US imperialism against Britain in 1776. "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Yeah, right. With our movable coffins we'll make you lose as many lives as we want it - and as often as we want it.
Paul Revere - jingoistic alarmist, agent provocateur, and capitalist oppressor of toiling masses. "The British are coming?" Who cares. At least now the British have a socialized healthcare and we don't.
Davy Crockett - militaristic aggressor who committed war crimes against peaceful Mexican population in 1836. Wish he were here for the recent pro-illegal immigration protests! He'd kill himself all over again!
In fact, they could be any of the people on this set of memorial stamps.
* * *
Maybe in the future we can label our coffins more appropriately.
Soon the coffins were abandoned and remained unattended for about one hour, as exhausted insurgents redeployed to the nearest Starbucks.
Memo To Self
We must enforce a stricter Party discipline so that our mock coffins don't get stolen by homeless bums who could sleep in them. Bums are often indistinguishable from our protesters and so they can easily penetrate our ranks and steal our props.
War Is Not For Celebration
That's, of course, unless it's a People's war led by communist guerillas against capitalist oppressors. Just ask Che Guevara.
"Reporting! We have lost one man in the fighting! Yes, Kommissar, I know it's only a crude drawing, but can we still sue the Pentagon?"
Some of our comrades have trouble telling fiction from reality. It may be useful in the cases of Dan Rather, Al Gore, Michael Moore and the rest of Hollywood - but with rank and file it could get a little tiring.
Our insurgency made the enemy develop an exit strategy and withdraw! By the end of Fleet Week (May 30) there should be no US occupiers left in the People's Republic of New York. Such speedy retreat, of course, would not have happened if it weren't for our uprising.
* * *
If you see something, do something!
Chairman Meow-Say-PunIt is every progressives dream to one day don the green cap of the National Lawyers Guild, I even hear that those select few who are chosen to wear such a symbol of socialist valor recieve discounts at their nearest Starbucks and extra punches on their ration cards. Oh how I envy them so!! It is even said they can access classified information on Google!!!
