4. I thought it actually went this way . . .

Government of the Corporations, by the Corporations, and for the Corporations.

6. Great slogan. But that wasn't part of Ted Rall's op-ed piece.

The editorial was from right after the 2004 elections, and most news sites don't show it anymore. One place has preserved the text:

excerpts....


"Voters, offered an election year alternative to the subliterate idiot who single-handedly created this mess, spurn him for a leader even dumber than they are. America has become a stultocracy: government by morons, for morons."

"A 2002 poll found that 64 percent of Americans--people whose votes help determine how much you pay in taxes--could not name a single Supreme Court justice. In 2003, 58 percent--people whose votes could elect someone who starts a nuclear war--couldn't identify a single department of the president's cabinet. Voters aged 18 to 24, whose recent schooling ought to inspire confidence in their knowledge of basic facts, are especially ignorant. National Geographic (news - web sites) says that 85 percent of young American adults can't find Afghanistan (news - web sites), Iraq or Israel on a map."

"The fact that these yahoos are allowed to vote is an abomination. Their ill-considered ballots cancel or dilute those cast by those who do the heavy lifting that makes them good citizens: keeping abreast of current events, researching issues, studying candidates' positions."
