I like it when an editor or author sneaks one past the suits with a headline that most people won’t think twice about.

The cover art for the 1983 New Order album Power, Corruption & Lies.

National Review

Power, Corruption & Lies

Voters concluded that there is no point in keeping faith with a president clearly uninterested in keeping faith with you.

@siracusa this picture is the title of one record. “Power Corruption and lies” released in 1981 (more less) by #NewOrder . Did you know?

It predated the New Order album though. Peter Hook had read it from the back cover of Animal Farm and Bernard Sumner had seen it as graffiti in Cologne.
