Sure, but if there's one thing to be learned from Tom Frank, it's that
Rightwing micropolitics is the flip side of quite real geopolitical
conflicts, a.k.a. the fact that the US Empire continues to decay. The US
really is under juridical-theocratic occupation by the combined forces of
the oiligarchy and free market fundamentalism, so I thought Kerry's
gesture was entirely appropriate to the made-for-video production
otherwise known as JFK2.
