Why We Worry

You know how I know our country is a little screwed up these days? THE PRESIDENT APPROVED THE TORTURE OF DETAINEES AND NO ONE IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn’t this at least as big a problem as cheating on your wife in the White House? Or, you know, trying to steal secrets from your political opponents?

According to the media, it’s not even as important as some random sh*t Obama said about Americans being bitter.

You’d almost think we lived in a country where everything was going fine and dandy, and no one had any reason to be upset or worry about anything. In that sort of situation you could imagine the media having time to focus on trivialities. However, we live in a country involved in an expensive and bloody occupation. We face tremendous economic difficulties, like owing tons of money to China. We seem to be degrading our environment at a frightening pace. Food prices for the world are skyrocketing. THE PRESIDENT IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN TORTURE. And so on.
