I was never much interested in politics until recently. Like the past two years. I grew up in the 80's, which meant that crooked little fixers and gila monsters were running loose during the Regan and Bush administrations. I was also a bit too young to understand it. I remember the Iran Contra scandal... but vaguely. I recall Saturday Night Live starting the show with William Shatner as the host doing a song about Oliver North, calling him the "Mute Marine." I remember America's growing national hatred of anyone brown and foreign who lived in a desert, and the Joker killed Robin and got away with it due to some weird form of diplomatic immunity.
Now, 20 some years later, I see that politics has only turned into some weird acid freak nightmare from Circus Circus. The Democrats are weak willed, and the Republicans are pure bitch Nazi Emporer Palpatine EVIL. Fox News behaves like a pack of rabid wolverines on mescaline and the only real news seems to come from comedians.
What rat bastard psychotics have we allowed to turn this country into a land of fat bastard pussies?! I remember a time when you could slap the taste out of someones mouth for being a waterhead piece of shit child molester and get in no trouble. Now rapists can sue their victims for contracting an STD. "Well, your honor, I may have raped HER but she gave ME syphilis!"
Fuck you, America.
I think it's time to bring the anger and TRUTH back to professional journalism.
For now... I read. I will overdose on knowledge. Study politics. And god help you bastards who get in the way of my telling the truth.
