bad mojo.
the society, our society, is crumbling around us, and if it is not yet
apparent to you, it soon will be. tomorrow, or the next day, the
problems of the economy and the society will become so destructive that
most of the 99% will no longer be able to deny it, and the day after
that, the 99% will no longer be able to maintain their standards of
living or hopes for the future. after that, well, the suffering will
spread like a pandemic. it will literally be too late; reform will no
longer be an option. the aftermath will be difficult for everyone, 99%
and 1% alike. at that point all we will be hoping for is enough
bloodshed, enough violence, enough scores settled, enough retribution to
last long enough to start over in the next few generations with an
illusion of stability and hope.
chris hedges, dissident journalist, foments reality in a
column
on the very real possibilities of political and cultural instability in
the near future of the united states. real revolution is not a
romantic struggle; it will be dirty and dangerous and destructive. even
if afterwards we have a chance to rebuild without the old oligarchy,
the cost will be high for many many people, and a generation will
probably be lost to the reconstruction.
watching plastic surgery survivor greta van susteren
is wicked creepy because of her frightening lack of affect. she has
the same stunted reaction to everything she presents on her show,
whether it is voter fraud bullshit, rush limbaugh's blatant racist spew,
horrible missing persons stories, or dollar-store santas signing in
bayonne. kittens or serial killers or sarah palin all get the same
disinterested vacancy from ole greta. was it the bad plastic surgery? a
blow to the head? some weird l. ron cruise ship atrocity?
or did she lobotomize herself so she could work on fox with the proper
attitude? we may never know the answer to these questions, but tune in
again next time for another episode of bullshit or not?
i wonder what the italian courts consider
faulty evidence?
as much of a nightmare that it was for knox to be railroaded by some
assclown in italy, she is probably lucky that she wasn't an
african-american in texas or a mexican-american in arizona; she could be
dead.
