Orwellian moment
Coming home from a basketball game Friday night, I saw a humongous billboard on Interstate-40.

Pristine white background
Huge black "W" in the center.

Took my breath away.

2. Hahaha
We need a picture. I hope that's true. It would mean that we're all going to die, but at least it would confirm that I'm not completely insane.

11. They're good
They know that dictators usually have giant pictures everywhere. So you can't do that.

They know totalitarian regimes like the Nazis have had symbols. So you can't do that.

So somewhat like Prince, they've re-invented the police state. Now we follow a letter.
