Hamlet, the Fascist

By the time you read this, everyone will be
comparing President Obama to Hamlet, thanks to Jill Lepore of The New Yorker.  You know how the story goes, of course. One of the leaders of Denmark, Prince Hamlet, is a villainous fascist, so unscrupulous that he steals the private mail of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, does not care for the contents of the letters, and has both men put to death. This is exactly like Obama and the NSA with the exceptions that they do not read the contents of the private communications they intercept and, of course, we don't know the name of the anyone the NSA has murdered, the dirty bastards.
