My theory is that Americans are on a flight from reality. Faced with painful facts—including the precarious state of the economy, the gathering storm represented by militant Muslims, in general, and Iran, in particular, the crumbling state of marriage in this country, the fact that our borders are being overrun, and the fact that our health care insurance system is in shambles (to name just a smattering of the troubles we desperately need to address)—we as a nation are drinking, drugging, gambling, smoking, Facebooking, YouTubing, Marijuaning, Kardashianing, Adderalling, Bono-ing (as in thinking of Chaz’s sad flight from reality as good), Prozacking, Twittering, and Sexting ourselves into oblivion.
The fact that we are doing this as a culture is the single most ominous psychological trend we have ever faced. I am not exaggerating.

And you can be sure that Fox News will continue to keep these "painful facts" front and center.

They are doing their job. Fox news is just like BBC for that matter.

I am inclined to agree with Fox on this one.

Let me guess. You get your news from the weeklies by the grocery store checkout line.

Not me. You must be thinking of Glenn Beck.

Fox news is a more dangerous mind-altering substance than alcohol.

 

[shoulderblade]

Think about that: A significant portion of our population wants to not be present for significant portions of every single week.
This is what is happening. It is critical we determine why it is happening.

This guy is not going to be the life of the party.

Not familiar with Fox news but this does not look much different that stuff you would see elsewhere.

Humans felt the same in 1912, 1812 and 1712. So why should 2012 be any different?

Uhmm, does that mean MSNBC hides them?

It already did.

Errr, Cookie, can I assume we will not be seeing your finer side any longer....?....

Oh no ... it just ignores them

 

[phrodeau]

Hides what, exactly?

I see, a lot of you are in denial.

 

[redheadedtxn]

I rarely drink during the week...if I do it's one.

Weekends, however, are another story entirely.

Wow, that was silly.

I guess that statistically, they eventually had to get one right.
