Bulletproof Brains

Today's news brings us further evidence that our preznit not only broke the law but also lied like a shag rug about it. And to add insult to injury, it turns out that the shift supervisors at the NSA did such a piss-poor job identifying wiretap targets that they buried the FBI in an unmanageable heap of surveillance requests that led absolutely nowhere.

Of course there is an outcry from our elected representatives on both sides of the aisle, coupled with righteous indignation on the part of the media, liberal and conservative outlets alike.

Not.

A giant wooly mammoth has just taken a titanic dump on the Constitution, yet we pretend that there are reasonable grounds to debate not only the existence of the mammoth (they were, after all, thought to be extinct) but also whether the steaming pile of shit actually stinks. And we're about to confirm a Supreme Court justice who will rule, because of the theory of the unitary mammoth, that the subject fecal matter in fact smells like rosewater and is an important part of a robust all-American breakfast.

This is waaay too much like a bad movie. "Plan 9 From Outer Space" comes to mind.

Wake me up when they get to the credits.
