Hey, dictatorship ain't that bad.
You can still get drunk.
You can still bitch about politics.
You can still agitate for pot legalization.
You can still post to DailyKos.
Boys will be boys, right? I mean, there's gotta be steamholes for the steamy. Keeps the broader population content, after all, when they're seein' all that freedom.
You can still vote. Kinda.
You can still protest. Maybe it'll even get covered. Yup.
You can still write your LTEs.
You can still watch a Michael Moore movie.
You can still swoon over Kevin O. And Stevie C. And Billy M. And Jonny S.
Steamholes. Totalitarianism is passe; dictatorships have grown up since then.
You can still fax your indignation to your legislators. Yay.
You can still own guns.
You can still vote. Kinda.
You can still protest. Maybe it'll even get covered. Yup.
You can still...what?
It's the Father Knows Best Dictatorship: you're the kid, screaming the injustices of the father to the father, who nods understandingly and puts you on restriction anyway.
