You would have to sacrifice someone symbolic. Something very symbolic. When you want to appease the dark gods, you sacrifice a holy paladin. If you want to appease the political gods to be sent competence in the administration, then... you'll probably have to ressurrect Ronald Reagan's corpse. And then sacrifice it. Perhaps even bring it back to life and sacrifice it again. And then a couple of pharma lobbyists for good measure.
It never even occurred to me until I clicked through that Rick Mercer can't run for President, being Canadian. And then I was disappointed, both by my own brainfart and that it is *not* Rick. *sigh*
I can't process a single sentence on that page. Am I the only one?
He mentions something about Education a couple times, but I don't think he can have had much experience with it. That, or the standard of education and literacy in the States really IS sliding...
Perhaps, but there's clearly a host of other things going on there, including a massive case of paranoia the likes of which I didn't think existed outside of Hollywood.
You know, back when the WWW was young and small, there was Mahir.
If the sheer size of the WWW today did not make it impossible, I would nominate Lee Mercer for the next Mahir.
The very, very masochistic part of me wants to learn the details of a Criminal Law developed from a Method of Education. But that part is really, really tiny.
