The jolly heretic can sometimes be accused of saying interesting things. He recently seemed to coin a new measure of how bad things are going: Just before the end politicians [continue to] lie about everything knowing that everyone knows they are lying and everyone knows they know. Infinite recursion. What they know that we don't isn't even important, it is bad enough not to see the point of simply doing their job.
I get you don't have a choice in the matter, because the rich are in power, but still kinda sucks.
