shumtimes

I go back to college in THREE WEEKS.
I was ready to go back about three months ago. That means I was ready to go back before I even left. Yeah that's right.

I'd like to address a variety of issues right now though. Actually just one. Or two. We'll see how it goes really.
A BRIDGE COLLAPSED IN MINNESOTA! So logically, as the US Media, we will ignore most other news stories for almost a week and torture people who ritually watch the news and make them want to punch things. We'll speculate and talk about the cause of the bridge collapse as if we actually know something about bridges.

Jesus Lord. I will RANT now!

See, I like watching the news. I watch the news a lot. I wake up in the morning, and I turn on CNN. Yes yes, I'm generally lame. Seriously though. Collapsing bridges aren't that tough to fix, and even though bridges falling down are an important thing to note, we have bridge builders in the US. Give them some money, and away they go! As we turn our heads and look at a little country called IRAQ though, there are some more, shall we say, COMPLETELY INSANE issues. I would like to see a week long of 24-hour coverage of just Iraq, and then conclude that maaaybe the reason we're ignoring our entire nation's infrastructure is because we're too busy spending all of our money making Iraq a complete fucking hell hole. And because our government is entirely incompetent.

Alright I'm done.
