I said it before and I'll say it again: Benjamin Morse is one of the most talented and funniest contemporary writers I know, a great observer and satirist of the current Western world, in particular in its American version.

This is how you know how insane this world has become--when you realize that the terms of reference are totally incomprehensible to someone slightly removed in time and space.
