Angry Bards

Things are so screwed up it can only be captured obliquely. The events themselves are indescribable. Our two heroes at this, Colbert and Stewart, have moved on. 

Poets are required. We need humor and irony, a job for creative people. And they have to be indignant. Even then all they can do is glance off of reality at assorted places.

In this way the insanity can be captured over time, an invisible monster occasionally revealed by a force-field of truthiness. And, remember the Colbertian motto:

videri quam esse (appearance is everything)
