It would be funny if it wasn't so sad!

I watch political discussion between talking heads for 2 reasons. To get angry, and laugh my butt off. I don't exactly learn anything, but it's funny.

My favorite of all is when Bill OReilly and Geraldo went at it over illegal immigration. I thought Bill was gonna wet his Depends. Hilarious.

I know, which makes him so easy to laugh at. He missed his calling as a ranting bartender in a working class bar. That's exactly the type of guy he reminds me of.

However, if someone from a protected class....black liberal, white liberal, muslim, gay liberal, etc. says it, it doesn't raise an eyebrow with the media.

Except for the fact that he's been on top, #1, in his field for over 10 years.

Just sayin'.

No doubt. For the same reason so many think Jim Cramer is a financial genius.


.....but as for me, I just laugh and then go read the real deal somewhere else

It's kind of sad actually. People have stopped talking to each other and as a result there a bunch of very small groups have become echo chambers where they think 95% of Americans agree with them when in fact 5% of people agree with them and the majority is just angry at everyone.
