Ya know what's really weird when ya think about it?
We got a Democratic President, a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, a Democratic populace, and a Republican M$M.

Anybody suspect that the mass media are about to discover they are irrelevant? That they are going the way of Pravda, becoming the laughingstock spokesmonkeys of an increasingly desperate and weakened Empire?

Nothing stronger than Good Earth tea, actually. Unless you count the Benadryl I had 2 nights ago. One little Bennie tends to knock me out for a while.

7. Know what's even weirder when you think about it? Sleep.

"No, I'm feeling uncoordinated and my thoughts are disorganized. I think I'll just lose consciousness and hallucinate for a few hours."

10. One can hope...
They're like a really long soap opera, that's been on for 40 years.

11. They have a job to do
Obama's historical election, his enormous political capital, the anticipation of his actions by the global community...well the M$M must convince us that it's not that big of a deal. That we're a very divided country and capitalist bu$ines$$ can go on as usual.

The Hope and Change Obama's election represented to the world makes the Ruling Class very nervous.

13. What really amazes me is that their big propaganda push is failing.
Obama and his policies are getting rave reviews from the public, no matter what the talking heads are telling them to think.
