“Change” and Marxism

Some thoughts:

In my other life, when I was national security adviser to Communist Romania’s President Nicolae Ceausescu, I wrote the lyrics of his ode to “change.” Ceausescu pretended that his predecessor had devastated the country, and he pledged to change that change. In those days I heard that ode to change a thousand times, and today I am stunned by its similarity with the Democratic Party’s “change.”

I’m not.

Wow. I went back and read that piece, and it was so chock full of stupid I couldn’t even get through the whole thing. Plus, the guy needed an editor. Kudos to Clark.

I love this typo: “Along the way other companies that have a spaceflight heritage, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and especially ATK are vilified as being the spawn of satin.”

And their children will be velvet.
