From the Briarpatch: Uppity Servants, (Paperback)

Once upon a time, this great republic sold out to mediocrity as a way of life, securing the archaic notion that things would always remain the same. Unfortunately, Progress did not cease to move forward toward eternity. Simpleton and companions search for that spot in hidden agenda that betrayed the nation and caused it to surrender to self devastation and the deconstruction of common sense; the birth of the Scandiculous. Those that led us into this valley of despair were the very trusted public servants who were extended authority. In their mistrust, they wrote laws to protect themselves against we the people, then proceeded to rob the national treasury, rape the land, and liquidate all the assets. Now, we the people only have TinyThought as our national legacy, and the State of Mediocrity as our new symbol of pride and nationhood.
