Mr. Nail, meet Mr. Hammer

Every once in a while, a string of words is crafted so well, so elegantly, that they put the finest strand of pearls to shame. Driftglass, for example, tosses such miracles around like Rockefeller dispensed dimes to urchins. But wherever and whenever one of these prizes appears, it's special, and an event worthy of attention.

Whilst prowling around on The News Blog, I encountered such a treasure, and I share it with you here and now. The author is a poster named "marquer", and in comparing The Iraqi Adventures of Commander Codpiece to another well-known cluster-fuck, he uttered this piece of perfection:

...it's worth noting that despite its failure by every single metric of significance, and despite its enormous collateral damage and poisonous sequelae, the War On Certain Drugs continues to slowly shamble onward, an unkillable, unstoppable zombie policy."

As a front line troop (albeit an Enemy Combatant) in the War on Certain Drugs, I can tell you that this is as breathtaking an analysis as an analysis can be.

Well played, Sir, and a good shot! Step forward and be recognized!
