Apparently we really are the new Soviet Union. I remember my grandfather talking about the Soviet Union when I was very little. I remember him going over there when I was a child to fix the economy, an arcane process having to do with a large, very official looking building where I went to Christmas parties and many long words I didn't understand at the time. But it involved him taking blue jeans to use as currency, and coming back with books of fairy tales and big fur hats.
I understand it better now, I think.
England is trying to become more like us while we try to become more like Russia. For all that none of these are in the very broad and overall sense an inherently bad thing, the political and economic implications are, um. Well. Yeah.
Also, I have no idea what's up with South Carolina but, damn. As a friend of mine said, we're living in The Onion.
