Enlightened tears will dampen the glue on the back side of the stamp I affix to the ballot with which I intend to help dislodge daddy's little helpers who've continued to set wrong-headed policies that've engendered time after time the disastrous unintended consequences our damned eyes have seen the ignoble glory of.(How soon will that phrase, "unintended consequences", become a cliche?)

A congressional-military-industrial complex did then, and does now, more accurately describe the facts on the ground.
