Yeah! I got up early enough to write a quick blog post. I've checked the news. It damn near put me back to sleep. What news that is out there is being pressed into service as the next worst thing to ever happen in our nation. It's a shtick that right wing radio has had down pat for decades, but now it seems as if the Legacy Media and the various blogs are flagging that old approach well past it's death.
Yeesh. It's just a slow news day. Seriously. After 7 plus years of BushCo™, I suspect we are going to find ourselves bored with the lack of sensationalism. No one, and I mean no one, is going to displace BushCo™ as the most controversial United States administration in modern times.
We are all going to be like drunks looking for that elusive intoxication. Try as we might, we will never feel that exhilaration we first felt as we published a post about the latest outrage from the impertinent son of a misplaced New Englander.
Our drug of choice has actually been gone for quite some time. He's gone into hiding now that his popularity has sunk lower then Nixon's.
So, like any good addict, we've switched; thus lies the explanation of our fascination with Sarah Palin. In my using days, if I couldn't get pot, I got drunk. In today's blogging milieu, if we can't have our BushCo™ story, by God, we've got Sarah to take it's place. It's the same cheap, tawdry content, only with a feminine label.
Soon, though, she'll be empty. Then what? Write outrage over Obama? Does anyone really think that Barack will be as incompetent, as amoral, as ignorant as George W. Bush? If anyone out there thinks that; put down the pipe, back away, and check yourself into treatment. Or the psych ward. Because, DAMN, your either high or psychotic. Or both.

Rook, Rook, Rook - It is a US government, they may not reach the heights and depths of the Hedgemony, but I assure you, having been a registered voter since since 1964 that there will be a plethora of stories about government screw ups, and some of them will actually be true.
Consider that they still insist that Obama really, truly believes that his government can be bipartisan? That will be comedy gold in no time as he gets smacked up side the head by the realities of Congress.
Bryan, Bryan, Bryan.
Thank God your name is not Judy.
Anyway, I still stand by my comment less sensationalism. If you honestly think that Obama is going to make the same level of mistakes as BushCo, you're high.
I am not claiming there will not be news. It just will not rise to the standard of outrage that we've grown accustomed to these last 8 years.
