Leftists' Adventure

>Look.

You are in a cave of twisting little blogs, all slightly different. To your right, there is a dim glow of heroism and steadfastness. To your left, a stobe light flickers, revealing criticism, schadenfreude, and cock jokes. There is no there here.

>Get no there.
How do you expect to do that?

>Go left.
You are in a cave of twisting little blogs, all slightly different. To your right, there is a dim glow of reasonable compromise and bipartisanship. To your left, a strobe light flickers, revealing criticism, schadenfreude, and conspiracy theories. There is a cock joke here.

>Get cock joke.
Aren't you clever?

>Go left.
You are in a cave of twisting little blogs, all slightly different. To your right, there is dull gleam of critical engagement and meaningful difference. To your left there is a phosphorescent glow of conspiracy theory and revolution. There is a well-written screed here.

>Get screed.
You pick up the screed, which, when unfurled, tells in the harshest language the sins and misdemeanors of the authoritarian regime. The language is stirring, yet its proscriptions are vague.

>Look at screed.
A closer examination of the screed reveals a hand-written marginal note: "To overthrow the regime, we'll need the bumper of a 1952 Mustang, an emerald as big as a plover's egg, a G4 processor, a rubber hose, a massive mailing-list, and a roc's egg!" There is a filibuster here.

You are in a cave of twisting little blogs, all slightly different.

>Go right
You are in a cave of twisting little blogs all alike, but overhead the translucent dome of Television shines in upon you.

>Inventory
You have a well-written screed against Republican malfeasance. You have a steadily dimming lantern. You have a financial analysis of Medicare Part D costs to the average senior.

>Go right
The television dome seems to be more permeable here; the light is crisper, more flattering, and the vertical passage seems easier. There is an Iranian nuclear threat here.

>Use screed.
That doesn't seem to work here.

>Use analysis.
That doesn't seem to work here.

>Use lantern.
Who else would need your light?

>Use filibuster.
You don't have a filibuster. Your lantern is dimming.
