Sometime this week Prince William (or is it Harry?) will marry Kate Middleton and help perpetuate the antiquated British royal freeloader family. Everywhere I turn a big deal is made of this soon to be royal union in both the mainstream and tabloid press. Meanwhile, our economy is in a shambles. Our 'entitled' so-called political leaders on both sides of the aisle are eagerly preparing to shred the social safety net and perhaps destroy both Social Security and Medicare, while preserving tax cuts for corporations, millionaires and billionaires. The Tea party, which is perhaps 20% of the electorate (if that) is setting the agenda in Congress, against the best interests of the other 80% of the citizenry. As if two unnecessary wars were not draining billions of dollars from our economy, we now are fighting in three needless, unnecessary battles. Gasoline is about to cost over four dollars a gallon again, which will only worsen the hardship on the middle class and the poor and the economy in general. There is so much important stuff going on and all the media powers that be seem to care about is the British freeloader's nuptials, Lindsay Lohan, "Dancing With the Stars", Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen's meltdown and other assorted bullshit that just distracts the average person from being informed about important information (i.e. "real news") they ought to and have a right to know and care about. I'm kind of pissed off and frustrated about what is going on in this country right now.
