Anaheim, California - Darkness once again dawns on the not so distant horizon. A stone's throw away, arising as always from where you would least expect it, this time the "Happiest Place on Earth." In the latest example of Orange County Corporate Communism casting its cold dark shadow over the budding blossom of our Republic, choking it out, Disneyland has introduced a city ordinance exempting itself from all legal and moral authority of a local governing branch of Democracy, the Anaheim City Council.
The latest brouhaha boiling over stems from a previous showdown Disneyland had with the Anaheim City Council this year over the building affordable housing for its city's residence, and "The House that Mickey Built" opposition to any further development in the city that it does not have its own hand in.
Sadly, the Anaheim City Council gave up on that struggle, which has paved the way for the current "You're Not the Boss of Me" city ordinance Disneyland is proposing, along with the enviable takeover of the council.
"Of course we will keep the Anaheim City Council around," said a spokesman for Disneyland. "And I assure you, all rumors that we plan to dissolve the council are baseless."
In fact, Disneyland has revealed its plans to move the Anaheim City Council intact into the newly reopened and renovated "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" at the amusement park.
"There they will be immortalized in animatronics form," said the Disneyland spokesman. "From alongside Mr. Lincoln, they will conduct city business just as before with the added exception that they will pass all city ordinances and decrees the Disneyland Corporation so desires."
However, according to Disney executives, this time in a mindless unquestioning more efficient manner than ever before. All thanks to their boys in the advanced animatronics division.
Among the first of the city ordinances the new animatronic Anaheim City Council is expected to pass: Mandating that Disneyland by decree be officially declared the Happiest Place on Earth, because they say so. A "Gag Ordinance" on the media, which prohibits the questioning of either Mickey or Minnie regarding their unresolved marital status or current living arrangements, and the granting of an exemption to Pluto and Goofy from the city's mandatory neutering law.
Several attempts were made to reach Mickey Mouse for comment, but all inquires were referred his publicist and political advisor, Goofy, who was too busy trying to remove his own foot from his mouth to talk.
