i stopped on my way home to check on aunt bea when i entered the front door she was watching the evening news something about white house responses and accusations hurled at senator corker she sighed and said given what’s going on in washington these days the federal trade commission is going to be totally helpless if they attempt to protect the public from a marketer’s prevarications since advertisers will be able to in court use the persuasive legal precedent provided by the president that their ads are not deceptive they’re just alternative facts it’s starting to feel like we’re going to have a plastic chicken in every pot
when i went walking up to aunt bea’s back porch she was sitting at a small table working on a knitting project of some sort as i approached i heard her say oh darn i have to take all those rows out and start again as i entered aunt bea said look at this i assured her that it didn’t seem to be all that noticeable aunt bea said well a bad stitch is like an alternative fact it weakens the fabric and then things just start falling apart
justitia wearing the woven fabric of freedom now stands at the doorway of blind obedience to ignorance justitia with black boots pressing against her spine feels her silk threads of truth stained by vomited lies lies forced into fibers of existence
