Are we living in a satire?

A good question. When we consider what is going on around us every day, it just has to be satire.

The President of the United States tours the world apologizing for everything our country has been.

The President of the United States offends and insults the friends and allies of our country, but snuggles up to the tyrants and dictators of the world in very obsequious ways.

The Russians are now threatening the US with nuclear preemption.

The Iranians and the North Koreans and every other two-bit dictatorship thumbs their noses at the US, correctly assuming that our President is weak.

A Republican President of the United States permits a financial coup de' etat of our economy by the huge financial institutions in New York, and his Democratic successor further enables it.

The President of the United States is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, having been nominated therefor not later than 12 days after he took office, joining others to hold the prize like Yassir Arafat and Jimmy Carter.

The politicians in Washington are proposing huge and expensive changes in our medical care system in the middle of the worst economy in decades.

They are also proposing huge new taxes on energy use at the same time.

They are continuing to try to solve the problems in the economy caused by too much debt by going further into debt at historical rates.

When one looks at Washington, all one sees is business as usual.

We are living in Wonderland, with Alice.

Who will lead the revolution?
