Paris For President!
At the palms chilling with the martini
Paris For President!
Your commander in bikini
When they tell you bout my policies
To stop the player hating on the USA
nuclear nonproliferation and ratify Kyoto today
You can light in the motorcade in my hyper pink Escalade
Paris For President!
Not another oldie cliche
Paris For President!
You can get married if you're straight or if you're gay
If you're gonna put lipstick on a pig
Make sure that shit it matches your skin tone
You can trust me with my finger on the button (nucular)
is a vocabulary don't
Trading in the cabinet for a walk in closet
Hey! (Hey!)
Paris For President!
America should put me in charge
Paris For President!
Look at Bush it can't be that hard
Simon Cowell he might be a little mean
But when his kicked his bucket
I'll put him the courts to clean,
Then I'll paint the white house pink and move to Maui
Paris For President!
A proponent of clean energy
Paris For President!
The real maverick in DC
Waterboarding is torture and global warming is totally not hot
I'll make a department called the fashion police,
Boost the economy with all of the new jobs
Make over lady liberty in Donna, Tommy and Calvin Klein
Hey!
Paris For President!
Get your cute little butt out there and vote,
Paris For President!
To spend some beauty tips and hope
Paris For President...
Hey!
Paris For President...
Hey!

Quotes from the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: Back in the fifties he predicted that the real war in the next century would not be between Communists and Capitalists, but between Christians and Muslims.
This story must be told. We live in a time of terrible crisis—and tremendous opportunity. The story of this particular economic hit man is the story of how we got to where we are and why we currently face crisis that seem insurmountable. This story must be told because only by understanding our past mistakes will we be able to take advantage of future opportunities; because 9/11 happened and so did the second war in Iraq; because in addition to the three thousand people who died on September 11,2001, at the hands of terrorists, another twenty-four died from hunger and related causes. In fact, twenty-four thousand people die every single day because they are unable to obtain life-sustaining food. Most importantly, this story must be told because today, for the first time in history one nation has the ability, the money, and the power to change all this. This is the nation where I was born where I served a an EHM: the United States of America.
My job as an EHM was “to encourage world leaders to become part of a vast network that promotes US commercial interests. In the end, these leaders become ensnared in a web of debt that ensures their loyalty. We can draw on them whenever we desire—to satisfy our political, economica, or military needs. In turn, they bolster their political positions by bringing industrial parks, power plants and airports to their people. The owners of US engineering/construction companies become fabulously wealthy.”
Today we see the results of this system run amok. Executives at our most respected companies hire people at near-slave wages to toil under inhuman conditions in Asian sweatshops. Oil companies wantonly pump toxins into rain forest rivers, consciously killing people, animals, and plants and committing genocide among ancient cultures. The pharmaceutical industry denies lifesaving medicines to millions of HIV-infected Africans. Twelve million families in our own United States worry about their next meal. The energy industry creates an Enron. The accounting industry creates an Andersen. The income ratio of the one fifth of the world’s population in the wealthiest countries to the one-fifth of the world’s population in the wealthiest countries to the one-fifth in the poorest went from 30 to 1 in 1960 to 74 to 1 in 1995. The United States spends over $87billion conducting a war in Iraq while the United Nations estimates that for less than half that amount we could provide clean water, adequate diets, sanitation services, and basic education to every person on planet.
And we wonder why terrorists attack us?
This book is the confessions of a man who, back when I was an EHM, was part of a relatively small group. People who play similar roles are more abundant now. They have more euphemistic titles, and they walk the corridors of Monsanto, General Electric, Nike, General Motors, Wal-Mart, and nearly every other major corporation in the world.
If an EHM is completely successful, the loans are so large that the debtor is forced to default on its payments after a few years. When this happens, then like the Mafia we demand our pound of flesh. This often includes one or more of the following : control over United Nation votes, the installation of military bases, or access to precious resources such as oil or the Panama Canal. Of course, the debtor still owes us the money—and another country is added to our global empire.
