Is Franz Kafka writing our history?
Just look at the last few years:
- The most popular President in the last 30 years gets impeached.
- The guy installed as Prez is the guy who LOST the election.
- This "uniter" institutes the most divisive domestic & foreign policies ever.
- People who exercises their freedom of speech are corralled and kept away from the object of their protest.
- American conservatives talk openly about putting their political opponents on concentration camps.
- And today, the most respected news organization in the world - the BBC - has apologized for telling the truth about WMDs in Iraq.

2. next up: The Trial
Of course, The Metamorphosis is a little more deserved, but too tough to swing.

3. Yes, it does seem that we have been pulled through
the eye of a needle into an alternate universe that often doesn't make sense.

7. Eisenhower was a chimp? Or do you mean JFK?
Kennedy was, from what I read, probably more of a bonobo.

6. When Dick Cheney woke up that morning he discovered he was a bug
with a rotten apple embedded in his ass and a way of scurrying about the room that made his wife Lynn scream and shoo him away with her broom.
