Is there a war going on?
Posted by Jill | 7:43 AM
The hotel at which I'm staying had 5 switches go on the fritz last night, which left me tired, trying to wind down, in a hotel room in a strange town with no internet connection and nothing on the lame-o TV but MSNBC. So I started out with the second half of Olbermann's show, where we were treated to a clip of Tweety talking to his hand-picked audience of wingnuts the other night about "IUDs". Then we suffered through Tucker the Wankboy Carlson, once again made to look foolish by Jay Severin, of all people, let alone Rachel Maddow, who provides the class on that pitiful excuse for a show. Then we moved on to Scarborough, which was "All Missing Pretty Blond White Girl Oh Do Please Tell Us the Gory Details Of What We Know Was Her Appalling Rape and Murder Oh Isn't That Awful Oh Please Tell Us All The Time", followed by Pretty Blond White Girl And A Surfer No Less Who Was Injured In A Shark Attack Last Year. Then at last we got to the Tweety rerun, where at least we had the only set of balls in the entire Democratic Party, Howard Dean, blasting Bush's Iraq policy without once saying anything that can give Joe Biden the vapors.

Nothing about the war; nothing about the helicopter that was shot down in Afghanistan, nothing about Social Security, nothing about the massive layoffs announced by corporations this week.

No wonder Americans are so ill-informed. My own brain turned to pulp after an hour and a half of this and trying to get online.
