I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Sherman set the Wayback Machine to 1984

Holy frack. I'm listening to the VP debate. I don't even know where to begin except to say Sarah Palin certainly knows the poll questions and positive words. Unfortunately she also is a walking example of doublethink in action. So many contradictory points held at the same time (which happens when all you study are the positive poll words without understanding the trade offs). And she still thinks that being gay is a choice, even with having friends who are gay. Plus, wow, just so clueless about Afghanistan. And a minor point, she says "nuc-ular".

Over all she is doing better than I expected. But at least for me I can see the training and see on her face the replaying of her handlers' instructions (including looking directly at the camera).
