Wow! Suddenly got quiet around here! The group must have gone off to a screening of “Brokeback Mountain”!
I do know a con when I see one. And I see them all the time.
We are courted by blow-dried, focus-grouped, stage-managed, photo-opped, sloganeering, false-smiling, hand-clasping, back-slapping would-be citizens who say they feel what we do and understand our concerns and maybe sometimes they do, but all too often, it seems they feel little and understand less.
Superficiality gleams in their perfect teeth and scripted lines. They work hard to make style look just like substance. Yet they are vile beastly rottenheaded foolbegotten brazenthroated pernicious piggish screaming, tearing, roaring, perplexing, splitmecrackle crashmecriggle insane asses, practicing howling below-stairs with a brute of a singingmaster so horribly, that my head is nearly off.
