"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

I didn't get the time bandit bit at first. But it suddenly came to me when I clicked the 'post a comment' button. I wonder if all the answers to life's mysteries can be solved this way?
