The events of the last week or so, and specifically the last several days, have sparked many remarks of the "we're through the looking glass/down the rabbit hole" variety. Ditto observations about the "the theatre of the absurd". Your Curmudgeon advises to disregard such views; we've already seen the play, exited hurriedly through the mirror, and slipped enthusiastically down the hole.
In short, what passes for reality here is nothing short of a strange fade into a Dali painting. A melting timepiece ain't got nothing on a MILF veep nominee playing a game of uterine three-card monte with her daughter, or any of the other assorted issues raised about the judgment of the Grampy McSame campaign (each issue answered, solemnly about another story of how McSame was a POW).
If that array seems improbable, wait and watch the forced contortions of the corporate-owned media as they order their minions to make the story about how close the race is between the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns, in short, to make the contest anything but the laugher it absolutely should be.
But no- you know and the Curmudgeon knows that all this is only ramping up, and the country will be treated to a venal, feral exhibition of the bizarre in the upcoming months.
