"What the hell do you think I've been railing about for the past four years?"
Umm, your paranoid delusions and neo-marxist, "look at me, I'm a revolutionary" fantasies?
Hey, I think the Bend Bulletin has your number.
"When asked about war, his eyes narrow and fix intently behind his plastic framed glasses. A media cabal in bed with the government, said Duray, has failed to report the real facts about the politics of the war. His cheeks go flush and begin twitch as he expounds ..."
The Bend Bulletin, 4/7/03.
Come to think of it, so did this guy. How did he know about you in 1946?
"When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases -- bestial, atrocities, iron heel, bloodstained tyranny, free peoples of the world, stand shoulder to shoulder -- one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker's spectacles and turns them into blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them."
- George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language", 1946.
"His head was thrown back a little, and because of the angle at which he was sitting, his spectacles caught the light and presented to Winston two blank discs instead of eyes. What was slightly horrible was that from the stream of sound that poured out of his mouth, it was almost impossible to distinguish a single word... it was just noise, a quack-quack-quacking."
- George Orwell, "1984", 1949.
"Quack-quack", said Duray into his megaphone. |
