does anyone hear?

Yeats, more than 100 years ago:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

It's looking bad out there. Is anyone listening? Falcon? Anyone? I never thought McConnell would be the only GOP senator who would listen to reason on any topic whatsoever.
