The Cynic In Me...

...can't resist engaging in a little imaginary internal conversation...

President/VP/Whoever's Really in Charge: Damn, the gay marriage thing didn't work! People are starting to pay attention! We can't keep counting on paperless elections to save our asses. Come on, what else we got?

Shadowy Advisors/As-Yet-Unindicted Co-conspirators: Well, there's always the War on Terror.

PVPWRiC: No no, that backfired on us again last week when the money allotments got leaked, I mean reported... come on, think...

SAAYUC: Okay, how about-- hey, how about we kill someone? Someone big? Someone we could have killed before but we've been saving up for just such an occasion?

PVPWRiC: Yes! Do it! But make it look like an accident.

After all, never ascribe to malice what you can put down to sheer incompetence and dumb luck.

I wish my internal dialogue would shut up sometimes.

Link dump on the way. Just have to catch up a little bit more...
