election theater

I stopped by from my useful work around the homestead today for a quick look at the show.

No surprises here.

Human waves of people completely fed up with their rulers, but still believing elections will make a difference are pouring in to polling places.

Whoops. Looks like that Republican landslide we feared.

QUICK! Implement Plan B.

No, make that Plan C. Plan B is that they own the Rs as much as they own the Ds.

“It’s not who votes that counts.
It’s who counts the votes.”
-Joseph Stalin

Were lamestream media not completely owned by the same group who own the politicians and the vote-counting mechanism, you might read or hear about the ‘sudden, inexplicable’ breakdown in the vote tallying machines.

Does anybody actually believe this stuff?

Not until the pitchforks, tar, feathers, ropes and other traditional tools are brought out will these creatures be removed from their thrones.

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
— Edward R. Murrow

Variations on the above quotation are attributed to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and hundreds of other social commentators since then, probably long before as well.

The Good Fairy is not going to fix this.
