. Everything about Romney is fake. He doesn't have a sincere bone in his body. I'm not saying he'd be any worse than McCain, just no better. Everything about Romney is fabricated, pastiche. He's the ideal (virtual) candidate for today's mass media age. Empty, vague, pious, banal platitudes issue forth in a never-ending torrent.
This is what the
presidential elections are about

What struck me, living and working in the United States, was that presidential campaigns were a parody, entertaining and often grotesque. They are a ritual danse macabre of flags, balloons and bullshit, designed to camouflage a venal system based on money power, human division and a culture of permanent war.
