86. O, Lark - I wish you were right but the rot extends deep into the body

Of the government.

Remember when w through Ashcroft brought in lots of shifty-eyed graduates from such fine academic institutions as Liberty U? These people are embedded. Thankfully dump-u's enrollees/graduates are probably too stupid to even be considered.

You can lose the top segments of the multi-headed tapeworm but the remaining segments can still cause the disease.
