Kung Fu Monkey: RERUNS: "Wait, Arent You Scared?"
Maybe it's just, I cast my eyes back on the last century ...FDR: Oh, I'm sorry, was wiping out our entire Pacific fleet supposed to intimidate us? We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and right now we're coming to kick your ass with brand new destroyers riveted by waitresses. How's that going to feel?
CHURCHILL: Yeah, you keep bombing us. We'll be in the pub, flipping you off. I'm slapping Rolls-Royce engines into untested flying coffins to knock you out of the skies, and then I'm sending angry Welshmen to burn your country from the Rhine to the Polish border.
US. NOW: BE AFRAID!! Oh God, the Brown Bad people could strike any moment! They could strike ... NOW!! AHHHH. Okay, how about .. NOW!! AAGAGAHAHAHHAG! Quick, do whatever we tell you, and believe whatever we tell you, or YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!! PUT DOWN THAT SIPPY CUP!!
... and I'm just a little tired of being on the wrong side of that historical arc.
Yeah, it's a rerun of his, but oh so relevant..

A.P.M.N.R. must spell out “We spent all our money on boots, trenchcoats and eyeliner..."
“...and we didn't have any left for microphones."

Obama booting lobbyists from federal advisory panels
“It's taken me years to learn what the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is,” said Robert Vastine, a lobbyist for the Coalition of Service Industries who also serves as chairman of a trade advisory board.
Boo-fucking-hoo.
Lobbyists are going to lose their special access, influence and in some cases, second paychecks, and federal regulators are going to have to do more of their own research on the areas they're responsible for regulating and not be spoon-fed by the special interest groups.
