I hate to play to my image, but...

Posted on 19:58 by Unknown
I take a lot of flak for being cranky and judgmental. This certainly won't help, but-- If you're seriously saying that a prominent linebacker in college football having an imaginary girlfriend is the "story of the year" on the same day it has become clear that we're getting drawn into another vicious conflict in the Muslim world, one that suggests that we'll be pulled deeper and deeper into African geopolitics, which is directly influenced by our prior intervention in another civil war, you're a fucking imbecile and the reason our country is broken.

Pardon me for being a scold. I just take the projection of American military force seriously, you know?
