….and you shouldn’t be, either.
{a driftglass original}
“Based on a long-forgotten formula found doodled into the margins of Arthur Laffer’s minor, 1971 work “Money and Tits”, the “Special Theory of Illiquid Relativity” (STIR) posits the provocative idea that the high-speed collision of bad paper and taxpayer money will create conditions very similar to the early “Big Con” state of Primordial Reaganism, when the political universe was a hot plasma of ferociously ridiculous ideology and had not yet cooled and congealed into Tom DeLay, Iran/Contra, Newt Gingrich, Larry Craig, Jerry Falwell, Tim McVeigh, the Plame scandal, Terri Schiavo, Katrina, Iraq, Jack Abramoff, Karl Rove, the US Attorney scandal, the elimination of habeas corpus, or any of the other constellations of epic Republican failures that have marked the last 20 years.”
driftglass manages to leave satire in the dust on this one. you seriously need to go read it.
Profile: i write things. sometimes not too poorly, even. i photograph things. i don't capture them, but i render how the appeared to me, or perhaps how i might have seen them if i'd been looking in a different way. i don't believe in finalities, and new beginnings are old hat with me. i am not what i appear to be, or even what i think i am. i am, in a nutshell, a nut. eat me, or feed me to an elephant.
