The New Black
It is a misfortune of our politics that the conscience that sets itself against thievery by public office is the very same that will not permit the person it governs to even serve. Who would consent to such personal scrutiny and abuse? None but the shameless. The general trend nowadays is to not quibble so much about character and the calculations that go into making leaders out of smoke and mirrors, but to just idolize power. Ambition must be the new black.
I am past apologies, baby; I am emancipated.
