The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Shhhh!!!!
Don't do it.
Don't talk about how Barack Obama's put Social Security (and Medicare and Medicaid) on the table.
All good members of the creative class know not to say a word.
Not to make a peep.
Because it's just Social Security.
Social Security ain't s**t when compared to the needs of Barack Obama.
Remember that.
First and foremost, every good liberal, progressive, leftist, Democrat, Socialist, Communist and even independent voter must always put what Barack needs first.
It's the old story of the many versus the few. And, in this case, Barack's needs are many while the people just need a safety net. If all you have to give Barack is the safety net, then you give Barack the safety net.
Because it's all about him. It's all about his greatness. It's all about his 50 dimensional checkers. And getting him more time to play pick-up sticks too.
All loyal Americans should shut their traps immediately.
Not to do so would be racist. And remember MSNBC, Keith Olbermann and so many others are watching. You don't want to come off shrill like Lambert, do you?
America, you have your orders.
We are not a democracy. We are a Cult of St. Barack. Amen and Amend.
