"Personal Responsibility"

If it's good enough for Mussolini, it's good enough for our top officials.When you see the phrase "personal responsibility," you generally know it's a right-wing hypocrite whining about something. As you've doubtless seen over the past six or so years, the right wing's idea of "personal responsibility" is usually something along the lines of "heckuva job, Brownie," or a fuck-up like George Tenet of the CIA getting the "Medal of Freedom." (Don't even get Just Another Blog™ started on how the right wing has totally devalued words like "freedom," "liberty," and so forth.)

The point? The People's Republic of China seems to have a somewhat stricter version of "personal responsibility." Remember recent revelations about our own Food & Drug Administration pretty much being in the pockets of, well, any one w/ two nickels to rub together? Perhaps the Chicom approach should be applied generously here. It'd take a fuck of a lot of rope or bullets or whatever is the preferred method in China, but we've always got "Old Sparky" or its equivalent. Hang a few of the bastards on the telebision & we'll see what happens to governmental honesty & competence. From that rude fuck @ the DMV to the incompetent (most) & just plain evil (the rest) @ the very tippity-tip-top of the federal gummint, lynch 'em all!!!
