Chicago
As the flash mobs terrorized ordinary people in the streets of Chicago, BRA’s Police Chief accused Sarah Palin and “the legacy of slavery” for the “youth violence” in Chicago, which (if memory serves) had been a Free State.
Howls of laughter erupted across all of Dixie. Didn’t this man know that Illinois was a Free State? The Land of Lincoln? Apparently not.
Later, a Beltway wonk (exactly which one I forget) summoned Rahm to engage in “hand-to-hand combat” with the Republican Party as if he were Darth Sidious. Just what was he supposed to defeat in “hand-to-hand combat”? He couldn’t even maintain law and order in his own city.
Maybe he was supposed to come back and help Barack Obama conquer the Ocean like Caligula’s Triumph over Neptune? Howls of laughter.
Such was the madness of BRA.
The debt ceiling debate:
A lot of us out here in the heartland enjoy your lyrical approach to analyze and deconstruct the hideous nature of the American regime today. Good luck with everything.
