Hmmmmn.

Obama’s hypnopompous self-congratulatory me-myself-and-myoptic media seem to have gotten their marching orders: Every news radio show this yesterday and this morning are full of how many Arab allies are coming to the rescue (er, co-little-listen) for his failed not-anti-Muslim-anti-not-terror program of not-quite-warfare.....

When the world wakes from its hypnompomic state it will see how far things have unraveled.

They were trying to disclaim what they were doing. “It’s just faded. That isn’t supposed to be blood stains.”

They do this on purpose to get attention. And it works.

It was on tv when my son came into the room - I said, “who would buy something like that?” - I was thinking old commies from the 60’s....my son, as usual, broke it down to a group who would probably have no idea what it was meant to represent: “teams who play against them in football”

The pompous hype-notist (hope-notist?) still has a significant portion of the electorate in a hypnopompic state ...
