In the currant political climate, what book or movie do you feel
you are living in?

I feel like I'm living in "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis

1. Somewhere between A Handmaid's Tale & 1984
With some Alice in Wonderland thrown in for surrealism.

3. Groundhog's Day
I feel like we make some good progress but wake up every new morning with the same struggle in front of us. It doesn't matter what gains are made, or what tactics are employed; we end the day full of optimism but awake to an unchanged world, forced to start all over again.

6. Dante's Inferno. Dante had it right about Bush
his treachery against country is at the lowest level. Whereas Bill Clinton, guilty of a personal indulgence, is only at the second level of Hell.
