Ian Welsh: America's Essential Political Insanity
You believe that you are hale and hearty; but in fact you're ghastly, obese and ill. You think you're rich, but in fact you're poor. You think you have the best doctor around, but in fact your doctor is worse than almost every other doctor and charges 50% more than them. You think you're tough, and you certainly haven't let the fact that two ninety pound weaklings seem to be able to stand up to you get in the way of that.
You think that you have the most advanced technological toys, that what you have is the best, and once you did, but these days everyone else seems to have more advanced stuff.
The illness goes deeper though, a deep decay in your brain. The parts of your brain that make most of the decisions for your body think everything is wonderful. They seem only able to take in sensations from the taste buds these days, and for the last thirty years you've been on a rich diet. So they think everything's great. Your once lean body, packed with muscles, has been replaced by a flaccid one, paunchy and fat, but somehow the key parts of your brain don't know that. They don't feel your sore back, they don't hear the broken down breathing and they don't see the gut hanging over your belt.
The you I'm referring to, as I'm sure many have figured out by now, is the US.

Tea Party Tots: America's Youngest Politicos Protest Taxes
The tax-paying public weren't the only ones protesting on Wednesday. Those who still keep their savings in a piggy bank were out in force. Children appeared as eager to voice their grievances as their older counterparts--photo by Aggie Yeakel
