Read the whole article. It only gets worse.

I've fixed the link, Unionist. It didn't work at first. Grave, but heartwarming, news indeed.

Thanks, Catchfire. It hurts, for sure, but somebody had to break the news. Do you think I subconsciously messed up the link to dull the pain?

I would have liked to be part of the US Special Commission for Venezuelan Democracy. I have lots of recommendations.

I don't quite understand the phrase "US-Style democracy," though. Isn't that redundant?

Can an oxymoron be redundant?

It's a democracy of, for, and by corporationists.

Democracy should more appropriately be referred to as corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. - George Washington

Now that you all mention it, I did think I smelled something fishy - so I did a search:

OMG! I knew hanging out here would pay off someday! The part about pre-2006 babblers receiving common shares feels so, IDK, right!
