It’s been a rough decade or so for America. One disaster after another. I find it hard to get cranky over anything or anyone anymore and I’m ashamed to say my blog production has dropped off as a result.

Welcome to Earth – Owned and Operated by Rupert Murdoch
Big Brother Says Welcome to His World
Demonstrating the number of assets belonging to Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp is like one of those, “If the national debt was represented by dollar bills laid end to end, it would reach Alpha Centuri” exercises. Let’s just say it’s huge. Uncle Rupert is the purveyor of both Sean Hannity and Australian Good Taste magazine – owned in partnership with Woolworth’s.
Woolworth’s? Really? The Donald has competition for Chairman of BadTasteCorp .
Michele Bachmann, Amy Myers: ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!’
Michele Bachmann is a multi-talented woman. Conspiracy theorist. Miscommunication expert – in both the with and without 100 word freestyle Teleprompter events. Spinner of wild fantasies. Stand up comedian. The list is endless. She’s a barrel of laughs. The nation is lucky to have such comic relief in an era of unbroken heartbreak.
She’s also a member of the ignorati, those folks possessing brains the rough size and intellectual heft of an overcooked turnip. Aside from the obvious, we know she is a card-carrying member because a New Jersey high school sophomore wants to go mano a mano with ‘Chele in a debate about civics, history, and the Constitution. A debate that’ll never happen in a million years.
Amy Will Take Her in Three Rounds
Amy Myers, has Michele’s number though. “The frequent inability you have shown to accurately and factually present even the most basic information about the United States,” pits “my public education against your advanced legal education,” Amy says.
I’ll bet on Amy, even if she is one of the Every Child Left Behind generation.
How’s That Whole Birther Thing Working Out for Ya’?
‘NUFF SAID – You knew it was going to happen.

Conservatives, What the Heck is Wrong With You?
Once upon a time, a day with earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, government shutdowns, and wars sprouting like deadly nightshade would’ve been unthinkable. Today, it’s just another hum-drum, dog-bites-man day. That’s a whole lot of chaos and change going on and many of us react more profoundly to it.
Researchers at the College of London say conservatives and liberals have physically different brain structures and it’s not the first study to reach similar conclusions. Perhaps this is the reason – in a government designed around healthy debate – the two sides can’t agree on whether that smoke they see is from a damaged nuclear facility, greenhouse gasses, or fat CEO bonuses. Moderates just scream, “DO SOMETHING!” on commercial breaks during Dancing with the Stars – couch potato government by TV remote at its best.
Despite my usual rabidly left-wing screeds, my responses are generally calmer and more conciliatory in comments. I hunger for a day when I can express my opinion without being called a communist traitor, even though the traitor label is now worn like a Tea Bagger lapel pin among the conservative set. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but on the whole everyone gets dumped on.
