Howdy


I begin my post with a salutation, as is customary in human discourse.

Now, as some may/may not know, my first aspiration in life is to be the Corporate Man. My second aspiration does not matter. I will achieve what I want.

But why the Corporate Man? Why do I want to deny succor to the masses and savor the luxuries of the few? Well aside from the obvious you mean?

Don’t think me so shallow. Our American lore contains stories of people with aspirations much like mine. Yet they weren't all selfishly motivated. Sure, there were personal vendettas and angst-consumed consciences. But gloriously, our hero was able to bring these all-too-human shortcomings into harmonious unity with ethical vistas and soaring moral rightness.

I am, of course, speaking of Batman.

Ten years from now, once I’ve achieved my goals, you must all forget about this post (it is necessary to maintain my alter-ego). My visage of the heartless Corporate Man is a necessary pseudonym, so to speak. Who would suspect the billionaire play-boy of daring caped campaigning down the lonelier streets of Rocketown, on a reckless crusade for vigilante justice? Not you, dear reader.

But I’ve said too much already. Sterling’s got info on our comic. I am concerned for generation next.

Raising our children for competition in the global marketplace, one recess at a time.

-Arrivederci!

I could have sworn you said "shellfishy" not "selfishly".
