Voting the Government Down

So weary of the news: the “midterm elections” with its “reversal of power” in the “House of Representatives” to the “Republicans.” So sick of the anger of the Tea Party, of their message of “limited Constitutional authority” juxtaposed with their demands for anti-abortion laws and bans on gay marriage. So tired of media speculation on the mood of the American electorate, fueling the hysteria, the malcontent, the very real anxiety that may be indicative that the American Way of Life as a system just isn’t sustainable, that our once-great country can no longer provide for its citizens. So done with it all coming down to the shit-for-brain voters in Ohio.

You want no government, people? Go to Africa. Most of the African countries don’t have governments and it’s a fucking paradise.

I absconded from the hard news websites to the safety of celebrity “news”. But, I found myself similarly vexed. Who are these people? Demi Lovato? Justin Bieber? T.I.? Hiccup Girl? I can’t say what makes me feel more out of touch: the countrywide hypocritical demand for “no government” or this inscrutable news item about a male teen mom hugging another man and then making out with white trash.
