The Real Problem in America: Too Many People Like This

So what’s the biggest threat to the United States of America these days?

Is it terrorism? The economy, or the lack of affordable health care? Wealth disparity, or the poisonous partisan divide in Washington?

Answer: Well, maybe, none of the above.

Instead, it just might be the terrifying, towering ignorance and hatred of too many people just like this.

    If only we didn't have the media, then maybe everyone outside of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, etc., just wouldn't show up to the polling place. ;) Oh boy, this is a real shot in the arm for Obama. What I think is more damning to this nation than the ravings of a drunken country-dweller, is that we lend political credence to a video that is featured along side (and I'm f*^king quoting here) video links to: "Lindsay Lohan's Bouncy Breasticles" (added 11/17/04), "christina model dances and shows off her amazing assets" (added 8/2/06) and a mysterious one entitled "Don't Drop the Soap" (added 4/14/03) Wow. We're f($king doomed.
