I mean, I guess I knew it was coming but here we go with this self righteous and totally manufactured bull**** meant to whip the idiot masses into a frenzy.
or you could start a craft project. Construct bobbleheads of all the bobbleheads They could look cute...ya got Sununu, Palin, O Reilly Cooper, Imus, Hannity, Crackhead Nancy Grace, Dr. Drew, Candy Crowley, Blitzer, Cafferty Mc cain, Obammy, Joe the plumber, skank Guilfoyle, the CNN guy w/the jumbo map, Geraldo, Tucker Carlson, Rachel, bighead Chris Matthew, Huffington, douchy Greg Gutfeld, Michael Moore, etc, etc, etc, etc,. LOVe BobbleHeaDs.
I feel for you, Taz. I've been a news junkie and an NPR listener forever, raised in a NYC, left-y liberal, Jewish household (I know the receipe for Mama Stamberg's cranberry relish by heart). Add being an artsy Homo (I MAKE Mama S's cranberrry relish) and you have a serious NPR gold-circle listener. Oy--do I have tote bags.
When G.W.Bush was re-elected--or, rather, was ACTUALLY elected--I was so devastated, alienated, distraught, miserable and allergic to the news that I enacted a Personal News Embargo. It was really difficult at first--I was raised to believe that people who don't remain educated about and engaged with current events were Philistines. Worse--they were just...Neanderthals. Worse, they were guilty of abandoning their responsibilities to themselves, their families, communities and society. And--most frightening of all--I was taught that these doomed souls had "no right to complain" about the state of the world.
I got over it. It was such a relief not to be subjected to the surreal BS going on around me--BS that was not going to be diminished by my being more fully versed in its details. Of course, it was around then that I began experimenting with drugs, but I don't think listening to stories about W would have prevented that train wreck.
So, consider taking a break. Craft projects are a great idea. Just stay away from Meth...
Don't even start with me. The best time to scavenge the trash at Duggal is at 3AM. And then you've got six hours to measure, cut and spray adhesive until it's time to call the office with another pathetically, transparently phony excuse for why you're not coming in today.
