The process of social psychological reconciliation can be as unforgiving as conventional monetary accounting, but remains infinitely unpredictable, compounding interest perversely - like a sadistic loan shark, like the Joker. That the actor who played the part in The Dark Knight died before the film was released adds even greater horror to the pallidly morbid visage - not as some crude call for assassination or lynching, Obamanaut, but as a death notice for the candidate's seeming promise: The Obamessiah we raised up becoming a zombie clown, an immortal Beelzobama, or maybe just a Lizard People - an excuse for mournful laughter, if ever there was one, perhaps until the day or days, to our relief or regret, a human being at last emerges.

I think Dyer's been working up a six-part series of essays detailing the benefits of it.

I would think that an Israeli strike in Iran in defiance of the US government's expressed wishes would probably be concurrent with Israel launching nuclear attacks on Washington and New York.
This would serve to confuse and silence people likely to disapprove and criticize the strike on Iran.
