So we’re in the prime-time of the Palin vs Letterman controversy…and I’m getting pretty sick of it.  Basically here’s what happened:

1) Late night TV comedy host does a nasty joke about a famous politician.
2) Famous politician gets mad – famous politicians loyal followers get outraged.

Letterman loves this.  Palin loves this.  CBS loves this.  The GOP loves this.  They are milking this silly little thing for everything it’s worth – higher advertising rates – more interest in a possible 2012 presidential candidate – sympathy for the political party out of power —- man is this good!

Why can’t these same people get fired up over something that matters?

We have a tax system that is destroying our economy and rendering us as servants to China and the middle eastern oil producing nations.  We have a stupid little fad (global warming) that is contributing as much as the idiotic tax system to the destruction of our economy.  We have a national debt that nobody can even take serious because of the number of zeros.  We have a budget that is spiraling out of control.  Housing has crashed.  Retail has crashed.  The auto industry no longer even exists.

And what are we whining about?

A joke on late night TV.

I guess I shouldn’t expect anything less.  Incumbents will win re-election once again at the rate of about 95% while we wonder if Jon and Kate are gonna get divorced.

Ok.  I’m good now.  I’ve vented.  I feel much better now – I hope you do too after reading this mess.
