Surviving the Ameripocalypse
[LOBO]
Despite me warning you people a whole week ago, America’s credit rating has been dropped for the first time in history. And as a consequence it lost, like, ten jillion points on the Dow Jones.
I’ve never played the Dow Jones, but I can tell from tedious “research” that Dow Jones is no Halo: all I saw was bottomless Excel spreadsheets and pie charts. It's worse than FarmVille! Whoever lost 10 jillion points playing that stale piece of crap deserves swift and lethal payback. Did they at least get us to a new savepoint?
Sometimes I wish we were more classy, smooth and polished.
-You know, like the British.

Regarding American politicians, it seems to me quite an ironic conundrum: full-time self-promoting mentally ill narcissists will be in charge of leading us under their personal interpretation of our "social contract."
Does this mean we found 'The Line in the Sand' before we ended up electing the cast of Jersey Shore? I doubt it sincerely ... the 'celebrity factor' is going to wash out any boring old 'Qualifications' and completely unwatchable 'Integrity.'
The only thing I can say for SURE about the US political landscape is that it is going to be simultaneously horrifying and hilarious for many years to come.
-Possibly decades.
It seems to me that the 'inherently imperfect' would be far more likely to transform the entire system into something more utilitarian and practical anyway.
