The ways of a rotten government are a challenge to the imagination of the most creative innocent minds.

The ways of a rotten government are a challenge to the imagination of the most creative innocent minds. None of us can possibly predict what ingenious depravity of state will assault our senses with each sunrise.
.
Will Timothy Geithner be awarded the Medal of Freedom? Will Rush Limbaugh be appointed Poet Laureate? Will the invasion of Yemen be justified by a teenage passenger's weaponized tampon? Will our chief DIPLOMATIC officer Hillary declare France a menace to humanity? Will Vatican City be charged with harboring weapons of mass destruction?
.
And is there any bizzarrerie that the American public will not swallow if it's wrapped in a flag?
.
Absurd, you say? Hey, only because you've not yet seen tomorrow's headlines.
.
Does anyone know how to stop this madness? If so, beware of answering the next knock on your door.
Authors Bio:Rafe Pilgrim, after "a life largely wasted on hard honest work," found himself a jungle of turkey oak, scrub pine and giant palmettos up a dirt road running east of Crystal River, Florida, which neither school busses nor the U.S. Postal Service dare to assay. Sharing a house of his own design with Spanky the cat, Darla a pit bull, and a foundling of mysterious breed named Alfalfa -- all collectively known as Our Gang -- he spends his time "productively: writing poetry, working for peace, and gazing at the sky."
