but how little we care about anything other than stupid BULLSHIT.

Our country is falling apart, our president is a moron, torture is A-OK, we are fighting multiple wars, and a theocracy is threatening our very way of life.

I sat at lunch the other day at Good Eats. It was a beatiful day-- a cool breeze was blowing (a completely wonderful thing after blast furnace Tezxas heat for 3 months), and I had the special. Was trying to relax after a crummy morning.

These 2 idiots sat near me, and for an entire hour they talked absolutely NOTHING but sports statistics. Nothing.

I was appalled. They were both about late 20s/early 30s, and it was all I could do not to say something snarky about them being just the right age for Iraq. I'll bet many of our dead soldiers would like to be here watching a baseball or a football game. But they never will again.
