    "We'll ALWAYS have Paris" …

    … 'cos, no matter HOW SICK we are of this Vacuous StickPerson, the Imbecile Media Machine keeps on cranking her out.

    This can only be 'cos there's nothing of ANY political, social or CULTURAL significance actually happening anywhere in the United States right now.

    A consumer "culture" produces only "consumer" items. And the Consumption Machine (the Corporate Media, which incidentally includes "Salon") drops this crap on us by the truckload every day, non-stop, 24-7-365. Even though it really is a form of "forced feeding" THEY keep telling us that WE can't get enough of it. SO, it's OUR fault for consuming the crap, not THEIR fault for forcing it on us.

    Is it any wonder then that, as everyone knows, America HAS NO Culture.

    (And now … these messages).
