Perverse vs farcical. Big difference. Or the same depending on the readers take. But most of what I mentioned falls into the farcical category, which leads to perversion. A lot of what goes on in Parliament houses and political TV around the world is just farcical. The fact that most of them also watch our politics very closely is also kind of perverse.

Yet teleprompters isn't funny. After the state of the socialist labor union speech I was spinning the political dial to see what the lib radio vs the conservative radio was saying. Yes you can actually find liberal radio on satellite. One show host started each segment with this tag line..... "teleprompter free entertainment." lol.

Where free speech is allowed you get this farcical stuff. I guess freedom really isn't free. You get it even in the East. Although free speech is RARE there. So then you get the socialist liberals in control fighting among their propaganda machines which sounds just as goofy.

India.... politics is like a soap opera there.
