After reading this CNN.com article, I couldn’t help posting what immediately sprang to mind:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
Looking ahead to a long, slow, painful economic recovery…………
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Sure sounds like the last eight years, doesn’t it?
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more;
Is that you, George?
it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Ah, Fox News is covering politics again. Or is that O’Reilly and Limbaugh commentating?
No doubt there are many more passages from the Bard that are eerily applicable to these modern times.
Your candidates?
