Bedknobs and Broomsticks

How, you might ask, does so-and-so not notice the broomstick shoved up his ass? It must be magic. Magical levels of distraction and diversion. Fox News enters in with their hocus-pocus. And the Koch Network (more behind-the-scenes) with their miraculous money wand and smokescreen.

Poof, no healthcare. Poof, stagnant wages in a raging economy. Poof, average citizens at one another's throats for no reason but to occupy them with lies and bullshit while the rich ravage the country. 

Thus the working class, enough of them, vote for the broomstick up the ass. They've been living with it for so long. A heavy dose of hate is deployed in the deceit. Still, the broomstick hurts. As for the bedknobs, they pertain to the women and another kind of occupation. But we won't go there.

It's become clear enough without spelling it out, especially in Texas and Tennessee and Kentucky and such places. What self-loathing, or displaced hate, lies behind McConnell votes? In his state even the people are fried -- completely fried Kentuckians. Hate-fried, with a side of law slaw.

A legal system chopped to shreds, useless to the people it's supposed to protect.
