The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.

With the truth so dull and depressing, the only working alternative is wild bursts of madness and filigree.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is nothing worse than a man in the throws of an ether bender.
