Sabotage!

We have been watching carefully for signs of the attitude of the Unholy Brotherhood of the Hole Punch toward the Obama administration, and we feel it is safe at this point to show that the Unholy Brotherhood and the Parent Corporation are taking an adversarial stand. This knowledge heartens us, as we know that the new administration can likely be counted on to help us fight the Parent Corporation when the need arises.

The latest incident to add to our certainty that the Parent Corporation opposes the Obama administration occurred last week and involved the United States and Russia. Hillary Clinton, who is obviously not fluent in the Russian language, gave her counterpart a novelty button inscribed with the word "перегрузка" (peregruzka). It was supposed to convey to the Russians that the new administration wanted to reset relations with them and leave the baggage of the last few years behind. Unfortunately, as many of our Russian-speaking supporters could point out, this word does not by any stretch of the imagination convey the intended meaning. Even babelfish tells us this, translating it to "overload." Our operatives have discovered that the button was originally going to be inscribed with the correct word, but that the Parent Corporation exerted its influence to change the word after the appropriate reviews had already occurred.

While it saddens us that the Parent Corporation is trying to destabilize relations between the United States and Russia, at the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not pleased to have another enemy of our enemies!
