I'd have a little more sympathy for my fellow Americans if the God-damned propaganda wasn't so freaking obvious. It's like everyone's swooning over a third grade production of Hamlet. Really? This is all it takes?

It's like the curtain gets pulled back revealing the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy and rest see it, but just go right on talking to the apparition, leading the Wizard to think, "I'm right to fool these people; their brains are on the order of turnips. Good thing I'm here to guide them, or it would all devolve into chaos. Seems I'm the real good guy here." This is diabolical but not necessarily wrong, as far as phoney Wizards go.

Our friends across the pond would call this a piss-take, and after Caitlin's article was the most honest thing I could come up with, desolate as it leaves us.
