I officially declare political news to be dead. Everyone's very excited that John Kerry called someone a lying crook or something of the sort. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS! How could he do this?! I could care less. Put this blog on the weekly watch list since there is nothing worth talking about. There will plenty of blogs rehashing the spectre missing Weapons of Mass Destruction. Plenty will prattle on and on about who-gives-a-shit-what. The most interesting event in this evening's news cycle was when Christopher Hitchens rode into Scarborough Country to call The Passion of the Christ a homoerotic horror film made by a fascist anti-semite. (That got a lot of people very excited.) I could practically hear Joe Scarborough peeing in his pants with anticipation of all the guests he would be getting for the next week. "Then we can have Hitchens back on to start it all over!! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Now for a massive jump in another direction. I see absolutely no news stories, programs discussing what will happen to Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid once the money runs out in about fourty years. Maybe it should die, but I would prefer to hear some sort of argument about it. Go read some of the Federal Debt Schedules and be sure to skim the overview. Almost $4,000,000,000,000 (that's four trillion dollars or four thousand billion) of the Federal Debt is leveraged against things like the Social Security trust funds and other federal retirement funds. I pray to the dear lord that President George W. Bush wins re-election. I pray for this so I can sit on some stupid cable news show 40 to 50 years from now and tell all those Republican Grand Pappies to get knocking on their childrens' doors because the Fed ain't taking care of them. It may be a long time to wait, but I won't mind. Anyhow, let's get back to discussing whether John Kerry should apologize for calling someone a crooked liar.
