Oh, Frail Humanity!

The best of National Post cartoonist Gary Clement | National Post

There is much truth to the pithy old adage

that we get what we pay for, even in the

instances where the legendary moral is turned 

around and we pay for what we get after the great

unwashed cast their ballot of assent to be

governed by ignoramuses who are charlatans

posing as intelligent beings whose principles

and attachment to the social weal identify

them as suitable to govern. In our mass

delusion we believe campaign promises and

naively await their implementation meant to

benefit a population of diverse souls sharing

a geographic home, all the while the executive

branch of government congratulates itself on

its acumen in diverting public attention from 

its inept decisions all geared to buying future

votes when the goal is not to govern well but to

return to government well-seasoned in the art

of ineptitude and hallucinatory deception. The

draught of oblivion to public disservice highly

dependent on the imbecility of a smug public.
