The More The Merry-Go-Round Goes Around & Around & Around & Around, The More It Stays In The Same Damn Place

The Paranoid Style In American Politics. More immediate today then it was 45 yrs. ago?
A refresher in "Americanism.""[T]he sense of heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy ..." Mmm-hm.
And from Tail Gunner Joe: "How can we account for our present situation unless we believe that men high in this government are concerting to deliver us to disaster? This must be the product of a great conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man."
How indeed?

    So, Bouff, I suppose your parents were supporters of Tail Gunner Joe?

    Gerontology Editor Sez:

    Hey, we aren't that fuggin' old! Clever & precocious as we are, we weren't aware of what atrocities our parental units were up to when we were zero to four. We will bet our maternal grandmother, the rainwater collector, was behind Sen. Joe all the way.

    We did see the cognitive dissonance exhibition. Almost jumped on it, especially the "Keep Your Laws Off My Body" sign-holder who just doesn't get it, but after the second link to it from an S,N! commenter, we figured it was yesterday's papers.
