The more I read and listen the more I seem to be confused. There are ALL kinds of coverage about what Hollywood and TV personalities are doing. There is plenty of coverage about the various scandals that politicians step into, and we get all the cute coverage about guys pulling buses with their hair or drag queens losing their wigs.

What I really want to know is how crooked is the Afghan government, what are the real costs of the proposed health care program, why do we let the Chinese keep their currency well below par. CNN can fact check a SNL comedy sketch but can't spend a week giving us a complete breakdown of the health bill?

What is the true effect, as of now, of the stimulus package? What are the up side or down side of the US dollar being removed as the world's currency?

Nope we get more of Sarah or Lee. H'mm reminds me of the cake company with its name reversed. We get more of a bishop telling a congressman maybe he shouldn't go to communion. Or what is Oprah and Lou going to do after leaving their shows.

It seems that everything from the mass media to the internet that there is no longer a place to find facts. It's all opinion and much of it based on shaky information. I'm beginning to think that my mother's love for the National Enquire was well founded. At least with the National Enquire you know they are having fun and are not even thinking about being accurate. Even once in a while they hit a kernel of truth as with the Edward's affair.

I personally am hoping that the Mayans are right that 2112 is the end of an era. I just hope it is the end of an era that revels in misdirection, half truths. and deceit. With my luck instead of the cycle repeating back to phase one of the cycle the world probably does end. But until then I would really like to know what's going on and have the silly reporting stopped!
