A colossally horrendous take on David Lynch.

Hey, The American Conservative, how about you drink double the body weights of your entire staff in bovine diarrhea, fuck all the way off, and die the most ignominious death it is possible for a publication to die? That'd be super great, thanks. And Peter Tonguette, whoever the fuck you are, all of the above goes triple for you, personally, as the writer of that worse-than-worthless piece of shit article.

On a lighter note, re: David Lynch, here is this. I haven't seen The Straight Story yet, myself, but it's on the list.

Just going to post this here, yet again.

Seems like an appropriate day for it.

"All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force---to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils, and modified by mutual interests.

"However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

-- George Washington, excerpted from his 1796 Farewell Address
