The PANAM Treaty Will Kill Us All

"Meh, close enough." ~SamWystan, Editor-in-Chief
Man Settles For Less
Senator Inwegen has announced for the presidency, declaring that he has the guts to lead the country into a vital phase of international diplomacy and the strengthening of the country internally. Mr. Inwegen is likely to face Premier Haliman, the supreme dictator of America. But the real story is his convincing former presidential candidate CRoy to come aboard as his running mate.
(Mr. CRoy has retired to his "alone place.")
A spokesperson at Mr. CRoy's office refused to speak to The Fieldist over the phone, but met in a shady barroom in a bad section of town on the condition of anonymity. She wore a grey fedora, which killed when matched with her red dress. "He just feels he needs to strengthen his resume," she said, giving a huge sigh which heaved her bosom up and down like a bumpy road. "Can't a guy not run for president?"
There was a resounding "no" throughout the room.
The Return of the Pan-American Empire
Secretary of State St. Krems announced the formation of PANAM today, signaling the completion of days of work on the part of the State Department. "The government of the United States that it will no longer have to suffer the heathen yoke of EDEN," said statement released by the State Department. The new alliance will include Brazil, Japan, and the USA. Argentina has been announced, but there at this time reports are conflicted as to whether they'll join. There are implications that France has been invited to join as well, which has some wondering whether the State Department can locate the Americas on the map, or if they have an expansive definition of those continents.
(PANAM dignitaries sign an agreement to sign the PANAM Charter)
Americans on the street were split. "I, for one, welcome the new alliance," said a supporter, who refused to give his name in case we were "the Man". He also confided that he liked the pick of Argentina and Brazil because "their chicks are mad hot." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Duke of Cornwall jankems has publicly come out against the alliance, stating that the decision will alienate current allies. A few spineless senators have backed off supporting it since.
Breaking: Mr. Krems has declared the problem between Duke jankems and the administration solved, but likely they've only buried the hatchet temporarily. Or so says our groundless speculation division (aka, SamWystan).
The Curse of Poverty
I was walking along the street the other day, when I heard a voice from below. "Got any food, bub?" it asked. I looked down at the voice, and then I looked down a bit more. It was Athanaric, Senator, United Independent Party president and a friend of mine. He recognized me, and we just paused and stared at each other. Then I stuck to my long-standing policy towards beggars and dumped coffee on him. I took off.
When I got home, I finally had a moment to reflect on what had happened. It occurred to me that something must be done to help the poor. And I know what you're thinking, "we already have Meals on Wheels!" But what about our power poor? No one helps the famous out when they're down on their luck. They just let them suffer. So I propose "Death with Dignity" to help out people like Athanaric. And by dignity, I mean beaten to death with a lead pipe in a back alley, stinking of his own urine and booze.

Great Article.
FIRST!
NOOOO!!!!
Problem has been resolved.
"which has some wondering whether the State Department can locate the Americas on the map, or if they have an expansive definition of those continents."
This made me laugh so hard I fell out of my seat and hit my head on my desk.
Thanks Trent! That's one of the best quotes I've ever gotten.
Pan Am Company slogans:
“The System of the Flying Clippers” (1946-1953)
"World's Most Experienced Airline" (1953-early 1970s)
“Experience makes the difference”/"Pan Am makes the going great." (early 1970s)
“America's airline to the world” (late 1970s)
“You can't beat the experience” (1980s)
“Die Flügel Berlins” (1980s, only in Germany)
Totally unrelated \o/

Excuse me, for all the congressmen out there, could we get to work passing the "Death with Dignity" bill please?
"Can't a guy not run for president?" memories of Harlot's many involuntary candidacies (on forum polls).
>>Americans on the street were split.
Ouch. This is why I avoid the street, mostly just rebels and ne'er-do-wells.

Since this announcement is coming from someone who is a Dioist who is supporting Pakistan against his own country I find the whole thing hollow. Except for Japan, who we need to get deer, they have ignored China (who is pounding Pakistan into sand) and Australia. Plus if they have invited France how is that getting us out of Europe?
long ago there were configurations of alliance suggested, called "Ring of Fire" to include Australia, Japan, China, Mexico (or take it from them), and starting with the west coast of South America and working inland from there... also suggested was "The Americas" which would unite the western hemisphere and build out into the Pacific from there, making formal allies or friendly neighbors along the way and busting heads on those who wouldn't play.
The central theme of both alliance plans was local security through strength of local numbers, and inclusion of every resource in the world within our own borders. there would be more region swaps and less rentals, limiting the number of US regions to as many as the population could sustain in secure elections..
but that man was called a crackpot, his ideas shot down or ignored.
so, was he ahead of his time..? or are crackpots now running the country? or is it that any idea is bad from certain people but others can have the same idea and it's brilliant?
We live in interesting times.
I'm pretty poor sam, and I haven't been beaten for a while
