IMHO, gobsmacking-WTF?-induction is THE intended purpose of political theater which owes its continued existence to sustaining the myth that it’s a swell idea to sign up and pitch one’s tent in either of two (apparently) warring encampments which are both sadly situated well within the boundaries and gripping tendrils of Camp Matrix.

The asinine policies clearly posted at the front gate were enough to convince me to turn away a long time ago. Nevertheless, I still have to admire your intestinal fortitude shown in efforts to make some kind of rational sense of it all. I usually just run a finger down my throat.
