If you read the first couple of paragraphs, you will see the interesting way he incorporated Martha & the Vandellas into the current situation.

Quite a nuanced use of the song in context. Thanks for the link, Woodward. Dear God, help us to do the right thing here come election time.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

— H. L. Menckin, 1927
