Gun Violence, Economic Distress, Global Poverty ... Pshaw

While global poverty and global warming continue to reek havoc, the American economy stands on the precipice of another economic downturn, the prospects for retirement and quality healthcare for baby boomers are jeopardized and debates ramble on about gun control, Congressional ineptitude and women's reproductive rights, the media seeks to find a ray of hope in our troubled times. Or at least something that is worthy of our time and attention? Or at least something that interests us? Well, maybe not. The latest news to send the Internet afire is the startling photo showing Michelle Obama rolling her eyes at Republican House Speaker John Boehner (Yahoo News). Thank God the fourth estate, which once took down a president, is keeping us safe from corruption and malfeasance!
