The Sensory Dispensary

I can’t even keep count of all the reasons I am ashamed to be an American under the Trump administration. The bombing of Venezuelan boats in international waters is just one of them. The lack of transparency and accountability is appalling, and the sycophants in his Cabinet and Congress who indiscriminately do his bidding and enable his recklessness are spineless.

We continue our slide in to Autocracy. Andy Partridge’s words for XTC in 2001 were quite prescient indeed.

Here comes President Kill again
Surrounded by all of his a-killing men
Telling us who, why, where and when
President Kill wants killing again

Hooray, ring out the bells
King Conscience is dead
Hooray, now back in your cells
We’ve President Kill instead

Here comes President Kill again
Broadcasting from his a-killing den
Dressed in pounds and dollars and yen
President Kill wants killing again

Hooray, hang out the flags
Queen Caring is dead
Hooray, we’ll stack body bags
For President Kill instead

Ain’t democracy wonderful?
Them Russians can’t win
Ain’t democracy wonderful?
Lets us vote someone like that in
