Whatever Happened To The News?
Does anyone remember when there was real, honest-to-goodness news on what passes for news these days...and, no, I am not talking about a bunch of bimbos in short skirts sitting on a coach spouting GOP talking points and crossing their legs ala Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. I am talking news.
Okay, just spouting off after seeing Sarah Pailin, the queen of Bimbos 24-7 this weekend on the "news" hemming and hawing about running for President while sucking on the tail pipe of a HOG at a biker charity event she wasn't invited to and saying "I love the smell of emissions!" because she thinks that makes her look more Presidential to the nut-job tea baggers when all the while those with even half a brain know she is, ala Donald Trump, trying to improve her Fox news ratings and raise her speaker's fees and promote her upcoming whitewash disguised as a biopic.
In the meantime...
Soldiers are being killed in Afghanistan to keep an Oil Executive in power who goes behind NATOS back trying to keep himself in power by enforcing the same rotten laws as the Taliban did;
The House Repugnicons are determined to let this country go into default so they can climb atop the smoldering heap of what will be left and claim victory while China forecloses sending in their own version of the local Sheriff's office to serve the notice;
The 95% of this country who are not independently wealthy (mostly on the backs of said 95%) and who do not keep all their funds in gold bullion in a private bank vault in Dubai (while keeping the private jets idling on the runways "just in case") will be buying wheelbarrows to carry their cash to the store to buy a loaf of bread only to find there is no bread because the bakery had to close down because the company execs absconded with all the company funds just before the economic crash;
And those who do have jobs are quickly becoming wage slaves and will probably soon owe our souls to the Company store as that will be the only way to buy food anymore.
"Oh, my!" says the gal on the couch at Faux News, "Don't listen to him! Sarah Palin's bus is in the parking lot of the WalMart! Just look at this!" and then she crosses her legs once again.
