Brad Friedman, writing in the Guardian, indicts U. S. media for avoiding the issues.

And with good reason.

I’m not going to try to excerpt or summarize this.

Read it.

In the column, he asks, “Where’s the outrage.”

I will answer that: “It’s right here.”

The Current Federal Administration has betrayed the American Dream and the blood, sacrifices, and ideals of the Founders.

For what? For a war based on a lie and for Wall Street bonuses?

It is to laugh.

For the alternative is to throw up.

The nation has been led by fools and criminals for the last eight years.

Aside: An old AOL friend of mine recently resurfaced and asked me where the politicization came from, because I was not vocally political back in the Olden Days on alt.aol.tricks and the predecessor AOL newsgroups, where I used to help post the FAQs every week.

I told her that it was always there, but that I started the blog simply because I like to make computers do things. I didn’t have a goal other than making the computer do something I had never made it do before and didn’t have a clear idea what I would blog about, other than stuff that caught my eye.

Then I realized that the government was in the hands of fools and criminals.

The gradual drift to politicized blogging began from two separate, coincident, but related events (separate because they occurred in different locations from different causes; related because they both sprang from ignorance, venality, and deception): The Dover, Pa., creationism trial and the Bushie concentration camps.

Read the 2005 archives. It’s all there.

It is time to reclaim the United States of America for reason, lawfulness, and moral behavior.
