First, by initiating this thread, I intend no disrespect to those of you interested in this TV show or just in the spiraling personal lives of those involved.
But, to the rest of you, come join me in a support group dedicated to people who don't give a spit about these selfish, contrived, ridiculous people.
This week, the news includes: an historic revolution in a totalitarian religious state (and the Administration's showingly spineless, statist reaction to the cries of the oppressed for a voice in their own goverance); the Dem-led Congress is considering taxing those of us who make $100K or less--apparently, that now being the standard for "rich"--on our health care benefits, to fund their dream of the Nanny State; the US Supreme Court dodged considering the issue of the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act, in an opinion that suggests that, if and when they take it up, they may find significant problems; in Mexico, 47 children died in a horrific daycare fire; in the Congo, a prisoner riot result in the brutal rape and beatings of twenty female prisoners; and, since Netanyahu's agreement to come to the peace talk tables if the Palestinians acknowledge Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state, there have been more Hamas-backed attacks.
And, yet, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the cable "news" channels is giving time to Jon and Kate. STOP IT!!! They are NOT NEWS. They are not important. They are wanna-be celebrities whose staggeringly myopic selfishness is the most interesting thing about them.
Does anyone else feel this way, or I am the only one not able to enjoy the freefall of American culture?
