'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
                                                          Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
                                                          All mimsy were the borogoves,
                                                          And the mome raths outgrabe~


“Curiouser and Curiouser” as Alice would say.  I feel as though I’ve not only fallen down the rabbit hole and stepped through the Looking Glass simultaneously, but now almost the entire population has been taken over by the Pod People from
Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  It was bad in November when I first made the observation that the Pod People had arrived, but now it has gotten so much worse my brain is having a very hard time accepting it.

What the Fuck is going on????

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE:


-         The Bogus POTUS is a man who refused to permit a legal vote count, and did everything in his power to insure there wasn’t one.  And the Media & citizens allowed it.

-         The United States Supreme Court illegally took control of a national election, where they have no jurisdiction, and disenfranchised the ENTIRE NATION, making a mockery of not only the highest court in the land, but the judicial system itself.  And the Media and citizens allowed it.

-         This ‘Selected’ administration is now in the process of doing everything in it’s power to turn eight years of peace and prosperity into what? War and Poverty, all to repay the big businesses that contributed to their campaign, no matter if it hurts the majority of the nation – or the world - in the process, as long as it helps the wealthiest 1% - the other 99% can all go to hell.  And the Media and the citizens allowed it.

-         The top Law Enforcement Officer of The United States - The Attorney General – has just given the ok for a criminal probe of ALL of President Clinton’s last minute pardons – no matter that the US CONSTITUTION says the Presidential Pardon is ABSOLUTE.  Period.  That leads me to believe that the US Constitution is now obsolete, and they are writing their own laws.  And the MEDIA AND THE CITIZENS ARE ALLOWING IT.

Not only that, the Media is supporting it.  There are also many in the GOP who are endorsing all of the above behavior as if it is morally correct.  To Cheat and lie is to be Closer to God apparently.

I must have been mistakenly beamed to an alternate universe.  I distinctly remember living in a society where lying and bearing ‘false witness’ is a sin, and morally wrong.  Where getting a legal, correct total vote count was mandatory by law.  Where the US Constitution was the law of the land, and all who serve in public office take an oath to uphold that law.

I didn’t think there was that much money in the universe that could buy off so many people and take them over to the Dark Side.  I believed no one could buy conscience and faith.  Right is right and wrong is wrong.  Love your neighbor.  Don’t steal.  Hold hands and look both ways when you cross the street.  Take care of each other.  Don't sell illegal arms to the enemy.  Don't sacrifice integrity and safety for money.  Apparently in this alternate universe I’ve been sucked into none of these things are morally right.  It truly is Looking Glass Land.

Well, I may be living in this new alternate universe, and I’m not sure how to get home.  (I know I don’t have any ruby slippers handy, (oops, wrong story) and I certainly haven't been Queened yet.)  But I do know where I’m from.  I haven’t been invaded by the Pod People, I don’t need special glasses to see “them”, and I know that if I win the lotto I won’t be seduced into changing my beliefs about what is right & wrong.  Those things are still the same in my heart, and no amount of money can buy my conscience, my faith, and most certainly not my soul.
