Why Didn't Anyone Notice?

One more thought re: the George Santos telenovela, and it's only my opinion, but based on a fair bit of observation (in other words, I'm a news junkie)...it seems the noise machine, with Fox front and center, drives pretty much all news coverage, including the big hitters. 

Which explains a lot. 

In other words, shit show. 

Have a Happy New Year.

No Saint, Despite His Name

For me the bigger interest is watching the GOoPers turn on one of their own. 

Kind of inevitable, given Santos's youth and, ahem, background to the extent it can be determined (just a bit too ethnic, which on its own might be ok, but combined with everything else...). 

Funnier still is that background aside, he's really the perfect representation of the GOP. 

No there there, not to mention nothing by way of policy or agenda besides own the libs and fake it till you make it

(I'll skip a link--google him if you want more details.) 

Normalization

When you start with an assumption that the big, mean, wasteful gubmit is...too big, too mean, and too wasteful...

Though, as I think some have noted, the system was at least partially privatized some time ago, with no apparent improvement...thinking, I believe it was the meters that were privatized, but still...

Maybe there are some things that shouldn't be market oriented. Like, I dunno, clean water. 

It's not like it can't be done. Though perhaps it can't be done with steady 10 percent annual profit. 

Just saying. 

Irony--Still Dead

Pretty sure the people behind this consider themselves good Christians. 

Hope you had a nice holiday. 

Cheers.
