The Obama administration has decided in the very same week that they will be prosecuting absolutely none of the assholes who ordered, OK'd and carried out the tortured helpless human beings until many (like 100) of them died, except for like three low-level scapegoats who apparently did those things extra bad AND that people who sell marijuana for medicinal use in jurisdictions where the law says that's OK will be cracked down upon because they are still breaking federal law.
Words really can't capture how insulting and infuriating this is - seriously, if I actually get to thinking about this, my heartbeat literally starts to increase and my eyes water a little bit - or how cartoonishly, absurdly unrecognizable the Obama Adminsitration has gone astray from the Obama Campaign that sired it.
If one were to write a novel with a magnanimous and principled main character caught up in a world based entirely on the actual facts and goings-on of this adminsitration, it would read like a slightly more subtle mash-up of the Lord of the Rings and 1984 with the allegorical narrative more tightly focused on the silly charade that is our electoral politics, and not as heavy on the corrupting influence of power or secrecy and information control.
I just have no idea how we got here. How did things go so wrong? When does Ashton Kutcher come out? What's a word that means soul-crushing disappointment mixed with stab-your-eye-with-a-fork anger?
