Sick of Secrets

A secret’s worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.
- Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Regular readers of this space are well aware by now of the joy I take in highlighting and underscoring the bottomless vat of genuine entertainment to be found in the foibles, follies and gut-busting failures provided on a daily basis by this country’s far-right fringe. From hilariously misspelled and misapprehended protest signs – “Respect Are Country – Speak English” and “Keep Government Out Of My Medicare” leap to mind – to bottomless calamities like the “Operation American Spring” in DC this past weekend, to the “patriots” at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada pointing their guns at each other over a rumor that Eric Holder was sending a drone to kill them all, these people are well and truly the gift that keeps on giving.
The problem is that some of these brain donors are actually in charge of stuff, as evidenced by the latest doings in North Carolina on the subject of fracking.
Bill Bard says:
I see that the south of England is being targeted for fracking. WTF will no-one pay attention to what’s going on?
