[Indeed] And, since their only real source of power is the ability to get people to believe their lies [We, The People, finally, may have a way to put them out of business].” Hooray! (Or so we can all hope.)<br /><br />Enter Thomas Frank and Cenk Uygur in a wonderful back and forth interview about Frank’s latest book, “Listen, Liberal!” Their conversation gave me an excellent insight into what could become a “re-invention of Political Science,” indeed. (Or a step back to the Dark Ages?) And it was fun listening to them talk until the end when I found out they both (Frank in the interview and Uygur in a separate Young Turks video afterwards) "had to admit" they both "had to vote" for Hillary, because, well, she is clearly the lesser of two evils (and what a shame they only had those two to choose from) indeed, indeed, indeed? (With clearly one too many "in deeds" from me.)<br /><br />Bernie blew it, Hillary screws it, and Trump is a scary Joker! So, Hillary wins as the Greens turn with Envy and we all (except for the Democrats of course) go to hell (where we belong) with the Big Joke being on us all along! (Sing a happy song.) (Ha, ha)<br /><br />“Listen, Liberal!” indeed, indeed, indeed! (Whatever happened to the “Party of the People,” indeed, and in double and triple deed?) The party is over but the band plays on as the ship sinks below the waves...with no more lifeboats left for anyone...not even anymore women or children. (Except for Hillary and her clan of course.)
