| Gotta fix this one, too quote:
because the Aceveda administration, previously praised for embracing transparency, classified ACTA negotiations as a "state secret."
There. Much better. Better reflects reality. As far I'm concerned, everything politicians and the media has being up to for the last 40 years or more was bottom lined over the course of 88 episodes of "The Shield", and once people realize that, it's like the old Tommy Shaw/Styx song "Renegade": the jig is up; the news is out! 
Maybe I can help them in that regard ...
President Obama = David Aceveda
Dick Cheney = Vic Mackey
George W. Bush = Shane Vandrell
Detective Billings = Congress/Senate/mainstream corporate press.
Dutch and Claudette = citizen media/blogosphere (read: what Congress and Senate was elected to be in the first place but they're about as inept, corrupt, and self-serving as Det. Billings)
Ronnie Gardocki = all the people that have taken or are taking the fall for the crimes of Cheney, Bush, Obama (think: Lyndie England, Joe and Jane Customer).
Curtis "Lemonhead" Lemanski = all the scandals, "bad apples", PR nightmares that don't go away. Like "Night of The Living Dead" (or a really bad case of herpes) they keep coming back to haunt them, all the corpses that cry out for justice, indictments, oversight, trials, convictions, the liberal and activist termination of their sorry careers, and prompt flushing straight down the Potomac for the raping, pillaging, and fleecing of this country and its people. The "conscience" of America ... and as the old adage states: conscience is indeed a killer.  |
