America, Worst Reality Show Forever

Flanked by trained killers in uniform, an ebullient First Lady announces film depicting the CIA as crafty heroes in league with Hollywood producers a winner.


"My foregrounds are imaginary, my backgrounds real."
                                                 -------Gustave Flaubert


Quarterly "budget crises" loom, igniting fire in the tinder minds of partisans. It's not real, but repetition gives it weight; like drowned women once proved witches and tortured or assassinated Muslims now prove terrorists. (Both achieved through a "legitimate legal process".)

We cannot forget, ever, there are enemies everywhere plotting to destroy our "way of life". They have names: Socialists, Anarchists, Communists, Fundamentalists, Terrorists, et al.. God forbid we stop funding the world's greatest murder machine forever in its mission to sustain peace and freedom for everyone.

Principalities sing threats and crises daily in every medium.

Can it be more real?
