Corporations have always been “persons” for certain purposes, like income tax and tort liability. Citizens United just made them persons for the purposes of campaign donation, which pretty much everyone that’s not on a corporate board disagrees with. Legally, “persons” are distinct from “people.”
True, but many writers and artists are also corporations, reversing the concept for the tax benefits. Where it gets fuzzy is when a corporation creates a person and benefits from that non-existent person’s supposed existence. Generations of kids have grown up thinking that there is a person named Carolyn Keene who writes Nancy Drew novels. And don’t get me started on Geronimo Stilton…
**shudders** I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new foods, but now I have it stuck in my head that brains are the texture of scrambled eggs. That’s NOT gonna go away any time soon, thankseversomuch.
I recall that in some place (I think the Ohio River valley) they eat brains and scrambled eggs together. Which has inhuman amounts of cholesterol.
Umm, not human brains of course. I think…
A good introduction to brains is black or white pudding. They don’t use brains as sausage binder in Ireland or the UK anymore, because of the mad cow outbreaks, but here in the States we still do.
She ate eggs!
Almost like brains now!
She’s eatin’ eggs,
Then she explains how …
They gotta fight
For the Corporation!
It’s got rights,
It’s our obligation!
That’s our mission …
Seems her cognition
Is alright!
She eats eggs,
Makin’ her smart now!
She quotes regs,
Gettin’ to the heart now
Of this case!
Not her normal chatter!
Stuffs her face
With the breakfast platter!
Lucid point she’s makin’ …
Scrambled eggs and bacon,
Yeah, they’re alright!
Referring to Keiya’s comment, hHere in Mexico, “tacos de sesos” (sheep-brain tacos) are a popular treat. I’m not sure what attributes sheep brains would add to Unity’s arsenal.
Just to clarify is this a placebo effect from the combination of texture and protein, or are scrambled eggs as crack as brains are to freebase? As I’ve said before , there is so much I can’t pin down about my KandyKluge
Too much thinking before breakfast can be dangerous. Therefore, to counter the effects of bacon-brain, Unity should eat something to stimulate the production of “dope”emine.
Book 1: two-tone blue – Dorothy’s dress.
Book 2: Red for the Ruby Slippers
Book 3: Green for going to Emerald City
Book 4: Yellow for either the Scarecrow’s straw, or for the yellow brick road.
Book 5: Gold for the road (if yellow was straw – reversing the book 4 colour scheme) or grey/silver for the tin man.
“Scrambled eggs” is zombie slang for brains plus drugs. She already ate the drugs, and in panel 3 she eats the brains.
No, eggs *are* brains on drugs. Didn’t you see the commercial?
Just so long as Enron doesn’t go asking for the vote.
They don’t bother with that quaint stuff. They just buy Congressmen.
Smart on eggs makes creepy somewhat morbid sense… considering what an egg is.
I knew it! The hatching-into-chickens thing is just subterfuge. An egg is really the detachable brain of a strange, modular alien invader!
Brains, eggs…plenty of protein either whey.
Behold Notarial Power!
So this is a corporation you *can* carpool with…..
I’m concerned now that my opposition to corporate personhood makes me a speciesist.
I will defend this particular instance of speciesism to my LAST BREATH.
Corporations many people, but if I had a daughter, there’s no way I’d let her marry one.

I think it’s the bacon talking.
Now I wonder what corporations taste like.
Paper pulp, toner ink, high quality suit cloth, tears of boredom and despair.
Y’know, exactly what you think it does.

Brains are a bit like chicken livers, but even tenderer.
…what?

I grew up on that dish in Nashville. I haven’t seen pork brains in the grocery in ages, though.

I like to have brains with rump roast. It’s how I make ends meet.
Ah, I guess there can be good eggs, too.

Apparently you can even get it canned, though often as “Brains and Eggs”.

This is your brain. This is your brain on brains. Any questions?
Uh, yeah, actually…
“These are your eggs.”
*crack*

+1
Wait, did you just crack some drugs?
Todays color guessing:
Book 1: two-tone blue – Dorothy’s dress.
Book 2: Red for the Ruby Slippers
Book 3: Green for going to Emerald City
Book 4: Yellow for either the Scarecrow’s straw, or for the yellow brick road.
Book 5: Gold for the road (if yellow was straw – reversing the book 4 colour scheme) or grey/silver for the tin man.
then brown/tan for the lion.
Black/green for the witch
or alternately – 3 green is for the witch – THEN onto either the road or the scarecrow.
DANG – I should have read yesterdays comments first.
Thus “The Addled”. Well played, sir.
well distracted mostly. I had the idea in my head all day at work, then thinking about it during the drive.
Came home late (long day) and rushed to type. Too quickly as it turned out.

Unity’s real talent has always been her ability to cut through complex mental constructs.
Both with a knife to eat and in the metaphorical sense.
