They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied
To the tight-rope walker

...about the time the doorknob broke.
You asked how I was doing.
Was that some kind of joke?
All the people that you mentioned

I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name.

To see Orange Mussolini standing there with his jaw jutted out listening to "Ave Maria" and doing his best to mimic his namesake is the line that splits batshit crazy from truly frightening, even for someone who would love to get the fat bastard in a room by himself. How can anyone not see the similarities in this jackal and people like Hitler, Papa Doc, Stalin, and the most rancid authoritarians the 20th Century offered up.
