Upon Making Fun of President Asshole
History has not revealed a deeper irony than the destruction of the spirit of democratic liberty in the name of devotion to it, which we have witnessed in this nation in the past five years.
In this situation, appeal to the courts is of less moment than individual courage in every relationship of life. What is wanted is the courage and the ability to resist the tide, to fashion satirical weapons against the demagogues, to defeat the fools with the weapons of both scorn and laughter.- Reinhold Niebuhr, 1952

L.S.M.F.T. (Lord, save me from Truman.)
There's really not enough Truman bashing these days, and dammit we still like Ike.
Especially having recently seen "Why We Fight," a first-rate (if predictably demoralizing) documentary about the military-industrial complex.
Conceptually related: The Hangdogs appears to have a newish album called "Wallace '48." True believers, those guys.
