A visual metaphor for our times

Behold: Macedonian goat pipes

I have stumbled across the perfect visual metaphor to explain the state of public discourse in the United States right now. Macedonian Goat Pipes.

The human is the ubiquitous yet shadowy Person in Control of the Narrative. The faceless functionaries at the three-letter agencies who pump out lie after lie to shape our discourse and keep us from ever stumbling onto the truth of what they’re up to.

And the goat? The goat that makes sounds when air is blown up its ass and flows out its mouth? What might the goat represent? Might it be Rachel Maddow? Lester Holt? Brian Stelter? The entire payroll of MSNBC? Yes. It might.
