I was very busy over the weekend, and then with work related stuff. As always seems to be the case when I have a short hiatus here, the world went yet another bit of insane.

Let me see if I have this correct.

A Representative Weiner, had a twitter account. Someone posted a picture of a brief clad penis on the twitter page apparently to a 20 year old college student. The offending member was erased from the page very rapidly, but not before Breitbart et al… get their filthy hands on it and make a stink.

OK…

1. Do real politicians actually have the time to tweet? Isn’t that a staff thing? If it is not twitter but something else like twitter, isn’t that even ore the case?

2. I would suspect there are any number of ways this could be set up.

3. Isn’t it odd that Breitbart et al… were right there to get this. I mean I don’t follow every tweet page out there. In fact, I follow none of them.

Seems a pretty obvious smear on the face of it, from a known smarmy smear merchant, who should be in court right now over the Sherrod slander.

All of that said…

OK We have the worst droughts in centuries in China. Texas is a drought, the Mississippi is flooding. Terrible storms are ripping apart America. Already there is a global food crisis that will cause millions to starve.

And we (as in this nation) are talking about a quickly deleted pic of a medium sized BVD clad penis posted on a site that the politician himself does not completely control.

It is at this point I conclude that America is too stupid to survive and we don’t deserve to. All the hard work and sacrifice made by those who were much greater than we are, for this nation were in vain. It meant nothing. Nada. Nil. zip. The people who benefited from that hard work and sacrifice from Yorktown to Gettysburg to Normandy, are not worthy of the inheritance.

The world is broken and bleeding right now. Our economy is still shaky, though getting better. The calamities of climate are just really starting to get bad. The Mid-East is on the brink of war. Iran is about to build an atomic weapon.

And we (as in this nation) are talking about a quickly deleted pic of a medium sized BVD clad penis posted on a site that the politician himself does not completely control.

When the doom comes we had it coming.
