What? Destroy the whole free enterprise system? You mean the recording by Jane of Verizon who calls me on a daily basis to tell me that FiOS is available in my area will stop cooing in my ear. For shame.

I'm to the point that I can't tell the difference between bullshit, the news, and Entertainment Tonight.

One word: "Fake but accurate".

It is simple Chas, just assume that 98% of what you see in print is BS and 100% of what you see on the Internet is unadulterated BS an you won't be to far off. There is so much hatred out there that partisan groups would lie to there own mothers to make a point.

Reading the morning paper used to be a two cups of coffee event, now I don't get but halfway through the first one.

Sometimes it is just a "Stop the world, I want to get off." kind of day.
