Today in Heritage History, April 4, 1984, Winston Smith in George Orwell’s 1984, begins his secret diary;
Dear Diary;
The government has camera’s watching us everywhere. They watch our every move. International corporations and the rich own the government and the courts. Even justice can be “bought”. They “regulate” everything, from our jobs, to even the details regarding personal decisions about our own bodies. Citizen rights are under assault everywhere. I don’t know why people aren’t in the streets rioting. Oh crap, gotta go. Can’t miss this week’s Jersey Shore. More tomorrow after Dancing with the Stars elimination show. Love.
Winston

(smiling big) that mind of yours 🙂
Funny! 🙂 But in this case, it hurts when I laugh, and yes, apathy and getting lost in mindless entertainment to the point that ignorance of political reality is complete – makes so much that is so wrong right now, all the more possible.
I think that Orwell was a prophet. I also think that Al Gore is another prophet, and combining the visions of both Orwell and Gore, and reflecting on the logical outcome, is the reason I’m a comedian. If I’m going to die, I’d rather die laughing.
Quality work as always, PKC.
I agree…wholeheartedly. I really don’t know why people aren’t more angry than they are. Wondering what the last “straw” will be that makes the U.S. like a France and gets the people out in the faces of politicians and their corporate cronies. A mystery… thanks Chris..you are too kind to my ill-humor. My best back to you!

1984 came and left a wet spot on the timeline. Winston Smith has already lost.
I agree wholeheartedly. Pity don’t you think? Thanks Tom!

Ooh, to close to home.
THANKS Lilly. I thought so too. Time to get out from in front of the tv and make change!!! .

By the way, I’m protesting. I don’t want the puffy shirt, but I think I deserve at least an unpuffy one!!! 🙂
You are absolutely right Lilly. You had a GREAT caption, and personally, it was my favorite. So, as a second place award, I’m sending you the velvet Elvis award that I hope you flaunt with pride 🙂 http://bit.ly/HVafes
Enjoy!
