We Need A New Super Power

May 22nd, 2010 - By j guevara

I agree, the world’s absolutely correct when they complain about the only remaining super power. Citizens of the world unite! Surely, there’s another nation to lead this planet. Although, historically we’d be hard pressed to find a more benevolent society to take us into the future (Here I’m referring to the American people, not their fiat government or their out of control multi-nationals). Therefor, I’ve prepared a list of likely candidates for your perusal.

Time For A Change

Germany?
It’ll be a while before all in favor say ‘heil!’
France?
From Waterloo to Dien Bien Phu, whine is about all they can do
Italy?
They’ve already shown what they can do, from Caesar to Pope no thank you
Switzerland?
I can’t yodel so I’ll never be Swiss, and I can’t eat chocolate for breakfast.
Holland?
I like their tulips and their windmills are all right. But I gotta pull my finger out of that dyke. Wooden shoes give me blisters, Dutch cuisine’s no delight, and my bum gets sore all day on a bike.
Sweden?
Let’s hear it for Scandinavians, outdoors, skiing and hiking. The same lovely people with the heart of a Viking. Though once fearless sailors, I’ll have to pass. Beat Columbus by 500 years, but the natives kicked their ass
Russia?
Stalin-grad is not someone with a degree, at least not in history. They were doing ok before that Marx/Lenin yoke, but it just didn’t work, so they went broke
India?
Right! A jolly good sort. For openers they’d make ‘begging’ an Olympic sport
Israel?
Yeah right! Then the whole world could be miserable
Greece?
Alexander was great, but no more, they’re still drinking Retsina wine made from gymnasium floor
Poland?
You’ve got to be joking.
Romania?
Ahhh, in my crystal ball I see, Balalaika music, crying violins, …and your daughters all betrothed to a gypsy.
Nepal?
Good choice, ‘cept the royal family’s dead ‘cause the King’s kid shot ‘em all in the head
Egypt?
How Pharaoh away from reality can you get?

All African nations put ‘em in one lump, an entire continent in a permanent slump.

Tibet?
See Egypt
Iran?
Okay if not for their ayatollah too-many
Afghanistan?
See Iran
Pakistan?
See Afghanistan

As for the rest of Islam surely no one would fuss if they stamped on your money ‘In Allah We Trust’. Pray five times a day, cut off your right hand, stone a woman for adultery, but not the man.

China?
That act wouldn’t go three seconds on the Falun Gong show.
Japan?
Domo arigato Mr Roboto
Korea?
North you got Kim Sung’s son Jung who I can’t give a go, but in the south you gotta love a country with a capitol named Soul. Yet, the entire peninsula north and south would, have us all eating kimchee and burning our mouth
Spain?
They had to hire an Italian to show ‘em the way. If South America is an example, hey Spain, have a nice day
Puerto Rico?
Sure, the whole world could shoot craps, while they ran around stealing hubcaps
Brazil?
How could you go wrong? And it’ll give ‘em something to do when the Amazon is gone. Though you may think that you shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree, Brazilians agree, so long as it’s no taller than your knee.
Argentina?
Madres de los Desaparecidos (Mothers of the disappeared ones) still hold vigil every day. So as for Argentina, no Falkland way
Chile?
Not yet. The name gave me shivers even before Pinochet
Peru?
I have an Inca-ling their through
Cuba?
They’re not doing so well. Maybe when they get rid of Fidel
Mexico?
Okay, ‘cept the first thing they’d do is all move to L.A.

There once was a Cherokee Nation that knew where it was at. Paid no taxes, women did all the work, how in the hell could you improve on that? But the Pilgrims thought them unchristian, uncivilized and had bad aroma, so the ones they didn’t kill, had to walk to Oklahoma.

Indonesia?
Ask the East Timorese, that’ll cure your amnesia.
Australia?
Didn’t someone once warn us to ‘Let Australia sleep’? Besides the only reason an Aussie would awake is to ‘ave another piss, mate
England?
Now we’re talkin’ class. They still think sun never sets on their ass
Canada?
There’s a good bet, but they can’t even handle Quebec.

There are a hundred others I could disqualify with a rhyme, but lets cut to the quick and save us some time.

You’re sick and tired of damn yanks, and you think someone could better lead the ranks?

As far as I’m concerned
I got a good feelin’
If anyone can do a better job
…It’s gotta be
New Zealand

[Now that I’ve ticked off every other nation
I just discovered Kiwi’s have strict immigration
And since all have now denied my visa application
I must live out my days in traveler’s frustration
Me and my big mouth oration]

    As always, you are masterful in your story weaving manner. You are a funny man.

  3. Is there ANYTHING that you cannot write about j guevara? You are the master of truth and humor…usually in the same sentence! Not sure what my life was like before I was introduced to your writings…but keep writing! The world needs you!

    ROTF. yeah, Debra, I can’t write a check that won’t bounce. Maybe that will change when the world comes to your realization, though, I wouldn’t hold my breath. :) )
    I can always count on you three to give my blogs a boost. Surely appreciate it, sure do.

    Love your rhyme and diss on the countries of the world. Very Saturday Nightish and I love the words, “can’t eat chocolate for breakfast.” I don’t have that problem, what about Cocopuffs? Anyway thanks for the chuckle!

  6. This blog was suggested to me by a friend. I have to say, browsing this was of value. I will tell more friends about it as well.

  7. I think your blog post was really a sweet beginning to a potential series of write ups about this topic. Most writers pretend to know what they are talking about when it comes to this stuff and in reality, nearly no one actually get it. You seem to know about it however, so I think you should start writing more. Thank you!
