Getting the Fear

Yeah I know. Me no post no more. Well not lately anyway. Like a broken record I will repeat the words I have used so often here.

Its just so damn hard to find the time.

Its surely not for lack of ideas. There has been a lot of crap going on in the world that deserves a full flavored beef makeover. We have a Supreme Court that will soon be leaning so far to the Right that they will topple off the bench, hopefully crushing Clarence Thomas and Scalia to death under their collective weight. Judge Roberts, now Alito and Attorney General Gonzales will surely yank our Judicial System so far backwards that owning Slaves will come back into fashion. Serves us right though. Its who this country's voters put in power so we have no one to blame for it but ourselves. You want to know what the really scary thing is though? Its starting to look like that's the way We The People want it. Just look at the last two elections.

Back in September 2005 Bill Bennett, a CNN political analyst said if "you wanted to reduce crime ... if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

CNN kept him on. No one really noticed and to this day he defends his comments.

Out in San Francisco someone is wasting tax payer money suing Rock Star Games for "including porn in their Video Game" Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

Republican law makers are petitioning the FCC to regulate content on PAY TV and Satellite Radio, all subscription based BY CHOICE entertainment.

Radical Extremists have taken over the governments of Palestine, IRAN and Syria. All this while the Bush administration is supposedly spreading Democracy across the Middle East.

Nearing 3000 dead in Iraq and Gas is $2.50 a gallon.

James Frey, a former alcoholic and drug addict gets the touch of gold from Oprah as she chooses his book for her Book Club thus assuring 5 Million Housewives buy it, rocketing it onto the bestseller list. A month later it turns out he made up a lot of it and Oprah verbally spanks him on her show. The book, A Million Little Pieces still is a bestseller on Amazon.com.

FX Network's groundbreaking drama Over There, the first war drama to take place during its actual conflict is cancelled after one season due to low viewership yet American Idol is one of the most watched shows on TV.

Serious Fear and Loathing in America in this year of our Lord.

Pray for us.

On the flipside...
