  Method In The Madness

  The most inane part of it all is ...

  Actually, the most inane thing is that these newspapers are losing readers and money at a record rate, and fretting about the challenges posed by online competition, and yet they still treat their readers with such contempt.

  Seriously, the whole 8 years of the Bush Administration's crimes is the greatest story never told. And yet the media still won't touch it.

  Why? Because the big media businesses in Teh USA are part of the global corporatocracy, and the dudes who run that game are happy to lose money hand over fist as long as they can hold on to power.

  Now, you might think that these fools should exit stage right ASAP, having bogged themselves down in Iraq and brought the US economy to the point of collapse. But you haven't been paying attention to their bottom line: the richest of the rich have grown even more obscenely rich at an historic rate ever since Bush was elected (actually it started under Clinton, but that's another story). Why should they quit now?

  McCain's campaign can be summed up with one word: "NONSENSE". It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it doesn't even need to make sense. This is pure political theatre for the masses who watch Nascar and MTV.

  I know an awful lot of people who voted for Bush in 2004 and quickly regretted it, but defended their decision by saying they "just could not vote for that awful John Kerry." Hopefully they have all learned their lesson, but I wouldn't bet on it.
