Politics, man.....

It's all a fucking circus. We're the most incredibly informed society the world has ever known, but we care more about tabloid events than campaign issues. It seems like no one even wants to be exposed to differing opinions any more. The MSM is constantly derided as "elite" and "liberal", which is probably true, but more importantly they are "mindless" as a whole. Demographic research shows CNN that they need to provide round-the-clock coverage of hurricane Ike, even if that means calling some random single mom who forced her 8 year old child to cry through the night on Galveston Island through the damn storm, and then praise her for her bravery. WHAT!? Praise!? She should be condemned for risking her child's life, not praised. There is no reason I can think of why a single parent wage slave should have stayed there. Was she worried the sea gulls were going to come and steal her chikn biscuits and miracle whip? Close to 50 people were killed that same day in coordinated bombings in Iraq, but that story barely got a lead on the CNN.com website, much less an actual story on the channel(s). And God only knows whats going on in Afghanistan right now. I hear stories on the news about how the violence there is worse now than it was during the initial invasion, which seems like a big deal to me, BUT I CAN'T GET ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT! I have to trudge through obscure international news feeds to find out anything that's going on over there. That's a little ridiculous to me. 

Oh, and the manufactured outrage flying around right now? Seriously? Apparently Palin's crotch means she's beyond rebuke because anyone who says something critical of the "VPilf" is derided as sexist. I can't stand this shit much longer.

I'm burning my voter registration card. None of this shit matters. Who is with me?
