This election is like H.L. Mencken's fever dream.  "Democracy is the theory that the common man knows what he wants and should get it.  Good and hard."  Two habitual liars, one an obnoxious conman, one a rudderless opportunist, are vying for the highest office in the land.  I've never been more convinced that we have the government we deserve than when I hear the insipid, insulting arguments made in favor of either of these unworthy, embarrassing 'candidates.'
