"I have neither mother nor father
to pity my sorrow.
I am an orphan.
All alone I bear torment and disgrace
in the depths of my soul.
Such was the pain
of not finding a good woman
who would fill this great void,
which they left behind,
with tender love."
-- When Frida Kahlo was in Paris, Pablo Picasso taught her this song, which she often sang for Diego Rivera or for friends. It is called El Huérfano (The Orphan).

Before my father became a tax protestor, he used to say- “there are only two things in this world that you can rely on- death and taxes.” After 16 years of battling with the Internal Revenue Service and barely avoiding a lengthy stint in the Federal penitentiary system, he finally gave up on the struggle and dropped out of society, a broken man. Conversely, we hear, this week, that the Disney Corporation, through its subsidiary Miramax, is not going to be releasing Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-1-1, this year’s Cannes Film Festival documentary winner, because the film is too politically volatile in this election year. Examining the relationship between the Bush and bin Laden families, the film discusses what many have been wondering about since that frightening day in September. There is news today that the “real” reason behind Disney’s decision to block the distribution of the movie resides in Disney’s fear that brother Jeb will finally begin taxing Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and all the rest of the gang. Rumor has it that Donald’s goose is cooked, after it was revealed that he, alone, has fifty-seven outstanding parking tickets, and six failure-to-appear warrants pending in the court system.

It would appear that DisneyWorld™ has been a metropolis riddled with a vicious crime element for a number of years. Records show that the Disney Corporation has never paid a water bill in the entirety of their residence in Florida. In a more shocking revelation, sources are reporting that during the late 1980s, Minnie Mouse, quintessential partner in the famous acting duo with her husband, was arrested and released six times by the Dade County Sheriff’s Department for shoplifting and fleeing the scene of a crime. Her attorneys have refused any comment concerning the case. It is this sort of lawlessness that nurtures dissent among the amusement park employees and Taco Bell tomato-pickers. If Donald and Minnie are running Hollywood, why is Michael Moore able to shoot a film without animation, anyway?

Arguably, Michael Moore could be on one of his elaborate marketing schemes. Part of his shtick is pretending that he has such controversial information that no one in the power game wants to publish or distribute it. Now that he is a commercial enterprise all of his own, he hardly has to worry about a lack of name recognition. On the other hand, I would hate to get on the wrong side of Goofy, Dumbo, or that family of ex-convicts that is always trying to steal Uncle Scrooge’s fortune, and no, I do not mean the Bush family. They have successfully avoided prosecution, at this point.
