Run for the hill - the end times are here - REALLY
Is this just a leftist way of saying the end times are here? You know it's been a bad month. Gas going up and all. Let's see now, we're about to drop nukes on Iran, we're just about enemies with every rational society in the world, New Orleans is still languishing in bureaucratic confusion, Cheney blasts Russia so we're back in a Cold War, the NSA is monitoring this message as well as keeping tabs on whether or not I'm buying plaque fighting toothpaste, the ABC movie (of the year?) informed us that the
Avian Flu is going to be really depressing when it kills over 30 million people, Chris unexpectedly was dropped from Idol, the market soared to a recent high only to fall again, the Fed looks like it's going to raise rates yet again, Lou Dobbs is telling us the Feds are informing the Mexican government about our ad hoc border patrols, Florida's burning up, people are trying to get Jeb Bush to run, keeping the Bush dynasty alive, Hillary Clinton praises GW's personality, calling him "good company", the CIA is going to be run by a military dude, Tom Cruise has lost his appeal and
now this - the news about a Christian fascist state.
How much more can we handle? Does this mean I can't pray anymore because the wrong kind of people are praying? What do I turn to? 80% vodka? Prozac? Nihilism? Automatic weapons? Video games? Yes there are many distractions, but none of them, unfortunately, are strong enough to make us forget that no matter what your political beliefs the commercial viability of hyperdramaitization still works. Thank God something's going right.
