Yes, the headline is the title of a book by Lenin. …

“I am the Walrus.”

You know what I’m trying to say. …

“I am the Walrus.”

I’m not advocating a communist uprising here, but. …

“I am the Walrus.”

Shut the fuck up, Donny! V.I. Lenin! Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!

(deep breath)

Anyway: Lenin, Donny and the Walrus aside, the question remains: What is to be done?

As my ideas are probably no better than yours or anybody else’s, including Donny’s and Lenin’s, I’m going to throw the blog open to a discussion about how we, the perplexed citizens of the freshly declared People’s Republic of Kakistostan, should move forward given the “objective conditions,” as my old commie pals used to say.

Some of us have taken to the streets, others to their heels (O, Canada!) and still others to drink, I expect. Also, and too, despair.

So, what next? What now? What is to be done?
