File under "W" for WTF?

I have got to stop watching the news.

When I go for long periods of time without watching the news at all, I find myself in a near-Zen state of mind, where there are no urges to pray for Biblical-scale gene pool chlorination. I don't have any monumentally stupid actions of folks abroad to make me wonder why I get out of bed at all.

Well, as fortune would have it, I just had to catch the news this morning. On my friggin' day off, no less, when I should have been walking around the house naked with a bag of Cheetos.

(Sorry 'bout the mental image, for those of you who know me personally.)

We all know of the recent arrest of one Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and if you're reading this blog, then your only surprise is that he actually got busted at all (what with him being above the law and such). But nothing short of a full frontal lobotomy could have prepared me for this: his approval rating is at 7%.

Can someone explain to me what kind of moron you have to be to still back ole' Blago after all this? I don't give a damn if he's proven guilty in court or not (I feel the same way about Lon Horiuchi. I could give two shits and a fuck what the courts said. He's a murderer, plain and simple). He was caught on tape basically holding a public auction for a United States Senate seat.

If you can approve of that, then you deserve to live in the ruined Land of Lincoln, under the rule of just this kind of piece of shit.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that there are people like Blago in seats of political power. I pretty much expect it. Authority will be fought for hardest by people who crave power. What kills me is the Lambs To The Slaughter following that people are a part of, despite any wrongdoing. Rod Blagojevich is a Royal Douchebag of the Highest Order. I hope he drops the soap on his first day at Club Fed. But if there's anyone out there who still gives their support to this piece of dogshit (no offense, dogshit) and accidentally stumbled their way onto this blog, I have a favor to ask:

Please have yourself sterilized, post haste. Thank you.
