Orwell was right. And seeing what's going on in the world this complaint seems justified. The next is just seemed to be a reminder of something that all too many people in the MSM seem to have forgotten. When you intentionally engineer language to mean anything what you say no longer means anything.

For those of you who don't know this Iconic image is of one Spider Jerusalem, Guerrilla Journalist. he is the leading character of a graphic novel series called Transmetropolitan written by the inestimable Warren Ellis and illustrated by one Darick Robertson. Spider Jerusalem makes Hunter S. Thompson look like a Sunday school teacher. And would agree wholeheartedly with the H. L. Menken quote presented here.

This last one is not really a wallpaper, but actual wall art stenciled on to a
building. I find that the sentiment expressed here rings true. "Whoever lays his hand on me to govern me, is a usurper and a tyrant and I declare him my enemy. Heady stuff.
