YES - Owner of a Lonely Heart (Official Music Video)
yesofficial

I'm watching this video and I'm thinking this looks like something out of a Franz Kafka story, and then I'm thinking that if you keep your head down the powers that be won't notice you and you can go on about your life without being harassed. Well, as long as you toe the party line, but sometimes the party line screws people over, takes away their property or their livelihood, and you really don't know when you are liable to fall afoul of the party.

The President can only do what Congress empowers him to do, and Congress is a bunch of clowns pushing and shoving to try and gain some tiny advantage. It's much like a Rugby scrum. Fortunately we have the Supreme Court. The justices wander around a bit but mostly they keep us on an even keel. It may take a while, and a bunch of people will suffer all kinds of injustices before an issue will come to their attention, but it will get there eventually. It's kind of a screwed up system, but given that we are trying get the most vicious predators on the planet to behave in a civilized manner, the fact that it works at all is pretty amazing.

We started watching Frontier this evening and it start off by reminding us just how cruel, vicious and rotten people can be. We gave up after one episode, the story was too heavy handed, finesse was entirely lacking.

Brian Micklethwait should enjoy the video, what with the shots of cranes in London.
