1. John Heartfield, yay!
2. This was stuck in my head earlier. How utterly class! *cheeky grin*

[I think I've managed to capture the essence of the GOP and the potential horrors of their continued reign five years from now. Unfortunately, this post skewers the indentations.]

Here in our New American Century,

To my modern Voltairine, whoever you may be,How can the violence of symbols of love appear so debasing to others, yet drench and delight us so deeply?
