Interior Design

I have always argued that what distinguishes human beings are not their exteriors but their interior motivations. The recent termination of Paul D. Wolfowitz from the World Bank and our memory of his being second-in-command of the attack on Iraq is one more example of his being ruled by his own cock and the desire for power. Paul was married but had a girlfriend for three years and negotiated a $60,000 raise for this woman who was pro-Arab while Paul is supposed to be pro-Israel.

It’s like the innocent-looking raccoon that scratches your eyes out and it is the same false façade that marks our friends who portray themselves as your buddy. In Florida, for the years I was rich and successful I had a bodyguard who said he would always watch my back and protect me. His name was Jean-Marc and he was bald as a cue ball. He only wanted to watch my back so he knew where to place the knife when the time was right. Three years ago before I went bankrupt, my 2002 yellow mustang that he was the custodian of disappeared. Some may call it theft, but the hard reality remains that I haven’t seen my car ever since. Jean-Marc was my buddy so long as I was the publisher of Screw and Ron Jeremy could get him some pussy.

This has been happening since the beginning of time, just look at the betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas and Julius Cesar by Brutus. Name after name, incident after incident we see that the actions of the external and the motivations of the interior do not reconcile.

Evilness is shielded by deception and false illusions that permit us to be ripped off. Every scoundrel and scam artist has learned this lesson. Whether it is Three Card Monte, Wolfowitz or Richard Nixon talking about morality, we always have the interior dialogue of self-gain. Jerry Falwell whom I debated many times is one more example of someone taking God’s name in vein while his interior armies crushed anyone in his way. Our current president who stole the election is yet another manifestation of illusion versus reality. All politicians and religious leaders are an example of an animal predator intent on eating its prey.

The politician is the apex predator in a sordid world where the great white shark is all teeth and gluttony. That is why I am running for the presidency so that I can be one more example of mendacity and deceit. Vote for me and I will rob you blind, break every promise and be like the woman who says I will love you forever but during the divorce says she wants the children, the house, your money and your testicles in a jar.
