I turned off my Zune and checked out the radio to see what the landscape looks like. I believe that one cannot be properly "plugged in" to society without at least minimal exposure to the lowest common denominator traits of our gross and collapsing capitalist society, so I make sure I stay up to date on radio ads and what gets airpaly and the like.
Seeing it was almost 7, I turned on KIRO, hoping to catch some Too Beautiful to Live, but there was instead this insane ranting libertopian dude talking about how some billionaire businessman needs to rise up and form a defacto third party, eschewing the current US political system and going completely rogue, buying up lots of TV time in all 50 states and all sorts of nonsense. He even went on to compare this idealized character to BRUCE WAYNE, which was also hilarious. I think he may have seriously been a bit drunk; either that or some sort of hillbilly. He later forgave some of John McCain's faux pas (particularly the "Obama has said a lot of bad things about the people in PA, and, well, I AGREE" one which was awesome) because he was a POW. I'm not kidding.
And then I turned on The End and they were playing some song called Backdoor Santa or something by Jet. I silently prayed to Putin or whatever one of his puppets controls this things and wished for the USSR to rain nuclear fire on the United States. We deserve it, we really do.
