@ Wolla Dalbo March 3rd, 2012 at 9:37 am: I was writing about that almost ten years ago:

“…. Think back over any given year of your life: how many editorials did you read in the local paper, or a paper with a national readership? They told you what was right, and what was wrong, and what should be done, and what should not be done, on every subject from the economy and taxes to roadwork and asphalt; from medicine and plastic surgery to ‘global’ ‘warming’ and carbon dioxide; and, from recreation and baseball to war and military tactics – no?…”

Less determinative as a predictor, is the number of unemployed. No, not that stupid unemployment percentage that the administration lackies parade out when it dips a bit …but rather the actual number of unemployed who don’t show up in the statistics; young folk who can’t get a job anywhere, people who have ran out their UI benefits, people who have given up looking entirely, parents who’s adult children have had to move back in so they at least have a roof over their heads and warm place to sleep …no doubt you’ve all got some additions to that list.

There’s actual anger out there. It may be inappropriately directed and focused at times, but the one person they know absolutely hasn’t helped …by keeping gas prices high, by not drilling, by extravagent, multiple vacations, by smoozing with the glamorous at public expense, by promises not kept, by treating everyone as idiot shmucks …those angry people put a face to that.

They came out last time. They’ll stay home this time. But if they vote (granted, often they do not), they won’t vote stupid this time.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The lies simply aren’t working, and won’t work.

At least the writers and editors of Pravda had the excuse that they had to print lies and propaganda for fear of being sent to the gulag. What is the American media’s excuse? They do it willingly.

Then there are the dead just waiting to be voted in for the Democrat fiefdom called Chicago. Other graveyards will also be raised up above so that a Light Shines Upon him from Above.

Speaking of His Infantile Majesty, I see at Drudge that Obama Motors has announced suspension of production of the ObamaVolt and the laying off of 1,300 Obama Unionists. I weep…Nope, just a speck’o’dust in my eye.

I find it particularly annoying and infuriating when such “commentators” and “journalists” tell me–however so subtly–how and what I should think or how I should behave and, especially ludicrous and disgusting when they puff themselves up, and proudly bloviate about their vaunted “journalistic integrity” and “professional ethics,” when the “truth on the ground” demonstrates so clearly that they are either mistaken, have twisted or deliberately left out key elements of the truth, or that they flat out lie through their teeth.

MGAGTIRC. (My grandkids are gonna think I’m really cool)

T–I, too, have always been amazed at how some snot-nosed kid straight out of college, or some other ignoramus–usually without any deep knowledge and learning, particular technical, subject knowledge, training, or skill, instantly becomes– by virtue of proclaiming himself or being titled a “reporter” or. better yet, a”journalist”–a universal expert, and able to analyze, sort truth from fiction, and pronounce judgement on every subject under the sun, no matter how complex, abstruse, or technical.
