M.O.T.S.O Balls, Oye Ve!

What is a MOTSO ball?  It is a military container shipping terminal gleefully hauling munitions to Kuwait and Iraq.  (Are we still doing this?  Are we still doing this?)  We did this in l990, when I became clinically depressed.  (What is clinical depression?)  Being depressed in a clinic?  That's ludicrous, just like the rest of modern America.  We did this in l990.  Anyone remember why?  The televised war?  Bueller?  The first time we watched war unfold on our TVs.  We watched the American military descend on Kuwait and immediately become the catalyst for a full surrender of the Iraqi army.  They laid down their arms and said, "Whoa poppy.  Like we give up."  What is a MOTSO ball?  The MOTSO ball singlehandedly enabled the movement of the American military over the Atlantic with merchant ships full of munitions.  It worked. Saddam Hussein was surprised, and ultimately ended up living in an underground gutter with a goat.  I don't know about the goat, but they strung him up like a sacrificial Negro and hanged him until death.  It wasn't over.  After failing to inspire the Iraqi military to live up to the grandeur and might of the American military, they surrendered again, laid down their arms, and open the flood gates for ISIS to occupy our fighting machines.  WAs the MOTSO ball successful?  It was not created until after World War ll, of which if I remember correctly we won by dropping bombs on Japan.  We didn't win the Viet Nam War, but it cluttered my adolescence with ten years of bloody murder also which was televised.  If you can't tell I am not a fan of the MOTSO ball.  When the MOTSO ball gets spinning "war trains" with "AC Traction" get rolling continuously from Fort Bragg to Sunny Point.  I remember it now.  I moved back from Columbia, South Carolina to Fayettenam, and I was depressed.  Why?  The answer is the same reason I am depressed now.  "War trains" with "AC Traction" rolling continuously from Fort Bragg to Sunny Point.  I didn't choose it.  I didn't choose to live in this state or this town, a town that unravels at the seams when spring comes.  UNC may win the NCAA national title, and that would be good.  Even if UNC committed academic fraud to enable athletes to qualify for college play time, still it would be good.  The money that is pouring in to UNC surely will be used to build more athletic facilities, like an indoor training facility for their football team.  Rah rah Tarheels.  Meanwhile colleges and university still are offering worthless degrees with fancy names, the the American economy supports none of them.  It is a recurring theme with me, but it is true, just like "AC Traction" is a dangerous thing despite its 47% adhesion.  So there is this huge prime mover.  Bueller?  "What is a prime mover?"  Bueller.  "A prime mover is an interest rate based upon the work ethic of a mover and shaker."  "Bueller, what is a Shaker?"  Bueller.  "A Shaker is a puritan American founder who finds tranquility by exorcising demons from their body by shaking them out."  "That is correct, Bueller.  Bueller, What is a prime mover?"  A prime mover is a huge, elephantine, colossal turbo-charged diesel engine, usually twelve cylinders, that is mobile on bogies that nowadays are steered radially.  They have dynamic braking, power inverters, and other amenities that salvage the conductor and engineer from death by electrocution.  This consists of wearing lead boots, Gortex insulating jumpsuits, Depends, and carbon gloves so the residual electricity instead of going into them goes into our power grid robbing it of its efficiency.  The conductor and engineer operate efficiently, but our local power grid like a sacrificial lamb, oozes its amperage into the air.  (This is a bonafide property of an electromagnetic wave, a nonexistent, non recognized, property of the aesthetic of physics, a bonafide scientific discipline.)  We don't hear about these much anymore here in America.  Instead we hear about mobile apps., which run on electromagnetic waves.  Just like AC Traction no one is much interested in either.  They're just some invisible thing that balanced the federal budget when Bill Clinton was getting head from Monical Lewinsky.  (I hope I spelled her name correctly.)  So if I live here in America, host to the MOTSO ball and Fort Bragg, Cherry Point, and Camp Lejune why don't I read about them?  Why don't we read about anything of value to our employment in America.  "I ask you Greg, what are the employers in America?  Is it too much to ask to know what the available jobs are?  Shouldn't there be a huge list that tells the country, the tax payer, what their jobs prospects are?"  Maybe there is.  Usually it is called a Chamber of Commerce.  I learned that term from Janet Beard, a lawyer who became Janet Thoren when she married.  The term Chamger of Commerce she discovered in the fifth grade during a social studies project.  I reckon any smart lawyer has a notion of what jobs are available in America, but I don't.  It used to be a matter of public interest.  We needed to know what the jobs were, so we could fight for them.  Why would we need to fight for jobs, when we are a Capitalist country?  It seems "a private means of ownership" likes to hire cheap labor, labor that would not be considered middle class.  The middle class has to fight for these jobs and hence their wages and benefits.  Does this sound familiar? There were these things called "Labor Unions" that organized and fought for the employed worked force.  Labor Unions were good.  MOTSO balls not so good, for us that is.  (to be continued...)
