I'll leave it here: It seemed effective to me at the time, as a piece of visceral writing, even if it was intellectually hollow. But I read it at midnight about a year ago so I'll just concede that I might be giving him too much credit.

Anyway, I'd better get back to work before Comrade Sam notices I'm shirking.
