What Do Prince and H.R. 1586 Have in Common?

Give up? Both have adopted highly unconventional names in their lifetimes. In Prince’s case, it was the adoption of a symbol to protest Warner Brothers’ artistic and financial control of his output.

Yes, the 0bummer Administration and the Congress are “transparent”, alright.

They have exercised THE MOST TRANSPARENT ABUSES OF POWER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFETIME in this once-upon-a-time great country.

They are the most TRANSPARENT TOTALITARIAN STATISTS that ever had the effrontery to rear their corrupt heads in the Federal Government.

When this vermin and their parasites are gone, and they will someday be gone, it will be a better world.
