Only someone with total omniscience could've written such a masterful summary of the zeniths and nadirs in this topsy turvy netherworld. Perhaps the Bush era FBI?
Seriously, I'll go out on a limb ... because I believe this colorful precis is so rich, so knowing, so full of heretofore unspoken insight, it must have been written by two or three savvy people, not one mere mortal in mega I Am A Camera Mode.
And I don't believe any of these authors have as yet posted in this thread, I might add. The POVs and tones don't match. No offense, posters. It ain't any of you.
So if I may turn into Joe McCarthy: Who ARE Winston?
