The candidate surrogates are making it worse and should just shut the fuck up. All of 'em. The candidate groupies are floating the most outrageous notions. The media's been on this like stink on shit for days now. This was, at best, a one day story. Unless it serves one's purpose to keep it in the newz. Candidates are now way off message. While the opposition is in shit soup trying to see who or what floats to the top of their pack, our side is in a rootless, baseless shitstorm that did NOT have to happen.

Meanwhile, we have Americans dead in the sand, a looming recession, a housing crisis that will see two million potentially homeless in the next year and a half, 34 million with no way to get health care but to cheat for it, the economy is a hair's breadth away from full blown recession, and, as people say coyly they're breathing the "R" word for recession, I'm thinking the "D" word, for Depression, might be more accurate.

Others postulate that we're like the Roman Empire in its end stages of glory.

And yet all the fuckheaded media can talk about is whether or not Hillary Clinton is a racist (anyone with an IQ above air temperature knows that's pure bullshit) and whether or not Barak Obama sold coke back in the 'hood.

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.

The world is going to hell faster than anyone thought possible and THIS is the public debate?

F U C K Y O U Media Fuckwits.

FUCK YOU

5. Oh, don't hold back... don't just blame the media...
every single person who's tried to make hay out of this ridiculous horseshit is EQUALLY if not MORE culpable, by legitimizing it and spreading it like a fucking virus. They're NO better.

6. The debate can't come soon enough, IMO.
There they can talk about the issues without being censored by the sensationalist media.
