    Even more than the simple slip of him saying Tim Apple is that no one corrected him or reacted in any way other than freezing. This is not a man who can take even the most basic form of correction, so no one smiled or said a word. This is not normal.

    I can picture President Obama catching himself misspeaking like this and laughing and making a joke or two about how his staff, and Michelle, would mock him for days for it. That is how a normal person surrounded by other normal people, instead of brain dead sycophants, would react.

      Can you imagine the Fox News coverage if Obama had said “Tim Apple”? MY GOD.

      Since this issue has come up before, I'm willing to bet interns are making this same formatting error over and over again just to make him slip up.

    People take the surnames of the corporations for which they work, and persons with two jobs hyphenate their name, e.g.: Julia Nike-McDonald’s. Charity workers can also use their charity’s name in a hyphenated surname. Schools are sponsored and controlled by corporations, such as McDonald’s and Mattel. Though little is revealed about the current curriculum, it is hinted that many of the lessons are simply corporate propaganda. Children who attend school are given the corporate sponsor’s name as a surname, but are parenthesised with their parents’ employers in school directories, such as “Kate Mattel (Government)“.

    Other notable aspects of United States society include pre-payment before emergency services can be dispatched, the abolition of welfare, the complete deregulation of weapons, legalised drugs sold in supermarkets and privately owned roads with toll charges.

    It was satire back when I read it, but it’s looking less and less like satire every day.

      Barry always has an interesting idea at the core of books. Lexicon is a great read.

    Everyone has this story wrong. In Trump’s world people put there name on things. That’s how he knows who’s in charge of them. That’s why he slapped his name on all of his buildings and that’s why he’s confused that the executive order he signed properly renaming this The United States of Trump is taking so long to complete. That’s what the shutdown was really about.

    Ivanka was obviously there to trade tips with Tim Apple on how to pay their Chinese child laborers less.

    I mean, sure, back in the (Domes)day when people started being required to have last names, a lot of them picked ones that reflected their trade. But a) that is no longer the case, and b) Trump is a fucking idiot.
