Be Afraid

New "The View" co-host doesn't "believe in evolution, period." Also isn't sure whether the world is flat or not.

I suggested Noam Chomsky as the new View co-host but nobody ever listens to me....

As funny perhaps is watching the cable news networks laugh at this when they spent the week talking about OJ with nary a scant mention of our failure to re-establish Habeas Corpus. I guess dumb is subjective.

Tech blogs and websites spent the last two days fawning and bowing to the idea of quicken on steroids. I think one or two might have mentioned the phone industry's attempt to get complete immunity from constitution sodomy of any kind, but I'm fairly sure more time was spent staring up the ass end of some idiot's stale iPhone opinion.

I have this aching suspicion that nobody in this country actually discusses things that matter because the vast majority of the population either aren't very bright, or are empathically challenged and solely focused on their own welfare. Combined with a media that's little more than a lobotomized lap dog to advertisers, I think we could be on target to reach epic, mantle-rattling levels of dumb by say -- 2013.

It's a crazy theory I'm working on and I still need to check my math....
