"I am amazed, and know not what to say."

That line is, according to a long-time actor for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the most useful one for a Shakepearian trouper. When one of your fellow actors forgets a line, you say those words, and it puts the burden back on the other one to get going again. That's the way I felt all day, only I was truly amazed and outraged at the endless flotsam and jetsam out on those internets, the bottomless upwelling of spew from our so-called US leaders and their rafts of minions. Not just feigning amazement, or waiting for someone to do the right thing by carrying on productively, I was sickened unto horror.
This is starting to sound like an Edgar Allen Poe passage.
I shall now go dip into a cask of amontillado...
